I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation for Phillip Hernandez…read more He is truly one of the kindest, most helpful, and caring individuals I have ever met. Throughout a difficult time for my family, Phillip consistently put us at ease, offering unwavering support and understanding whenever we reached out --day or night. His patient and compassion are qualities I deeply admire. I can honestly say I wouldn't trust anyone else with my funeral needs. Phillip's dedication and kindness have made a lasting impression on us, and I am immensly grateful. Thanks to him, we feel confident and at peace knowing that our future funeral arrangements are in good hands. I am optimistic about the support we will receive from Montclair-Lucania Funeral Home because of Phillip's exceptional care.

Phillip was truly exceptional, compassionate, kind, and incredibly patient. He guided us through every step of the process with such warmth and professionalism, which made a very difficult time much easier to bear.

His genuine empathy and steady presence gave us so much comfort. We're deeply grateful to him and the entire staff for helping us honor my mother with dignity and grace.

--- Our family…read morerecently had the profound need for the services of Alvarez Funeral Home after the loss of our loved one. To simply say they "handled the arrangements" would be a great injustice to the exceptional care and compassion we received. From the very first moment, Ms. Alvarez distinguished herself and her home from any other we have dealt with in the past. Where others felt transactional, she was deeply personal. She did not just see us as clients, but as a grieving family in need of guidance and support. Her patience, empathy, and genuine kindness were a steady comfort during the most difficult days of our lives. Ms. Alvarez took the time to listen--truly listen--to our stories, our wishes, and our worries. She helped us navigate every decision with grace, offering gentle suggestions while always honoring our desires. She removed the overwhelming burden of logistics and allowed us the space to simply be together and grieve. The personal touches and attention to detail made all the difference, creating a service that was a beautiful and authentic reflection of our loved one's life. What sets Alvarez Funeral Home apart is this heartfelt, human-centered approach. Ms. Alvarez and her entire staff provide more than a service; they provide a sanctuary of understanding and respect. They walked beside us, never ahead of us. To anyone facing the unimaginable, we cannot recommend Alvarez Funeral Home highly enough. Thank you, Ms. Alvarez, and to your wonderful staff, for your invaluable help and for treating our family with such dignity during our most difficult time. Your compassion made all the difference.

It's hard to articulate how happy I was that we chose The Elms to help us say goodbye to our…read morebeloved mother. First, the space is modern, bright and elegant--not at all stuffy and dark like some funeral homes. With only one salon, the whole place is dedicated to one family. The ample parking turned out to be essential. But it was really the attentive, compassionate service from Michael and his team that made everything so easy. Because of them, our sadness was not compounded by stress or frustration. They helped us display photos, collect cards, greet visitors and just enjoy the company of our friends and family. At no turn did anyone decline our requests or try to upsell us on anything; honestly, I was able to forget that The Elms is a business at all. Within a week afterward, Michael gave us digital copies of the guest book (sorted alphabetically) and a digital photo of every card that came with a flower arrangement, making it easy for us to thank everyone who had expressed condolences. I don't wish for anyone to need the services of a funeral home, but when that time comes, I emphatically recommend The Elms.

Never thought to review a funeral home, but feel the need to. I went to a few wakes at The Elms…read moreand was impressed by their welcoming chapel. It is very intimate, as they only have one viewing room, so there is no intermingling with other families, the place is all yours. So when my mother passed away, we decided to go to The Elms. Michael R. was our Director and his professionalism and knowledge left my family at ease that everything would go smoothly. He communicated to us everything that would happen and when, and walked us through the process. He was at our beck and call and helped us with decisions we didn't know we had to make, and I am forever grateful to him for this. Karen C. was present on the day of the funeral, in addition to Michael and besides her caring nature, she provided services that made us extremely happy (mom's make up). I cannot say enough good things about The Elms and will continue to give them our family business. During the most difficult time of my life, The Elms staff was by our side and again, we are beyond grateful that they made this experience one mom would have been proud of. I don't care to "shop around a dozen funeral homes" in the City and Suburbs, or how many funeral homes someone owns. I know where my family and I will continue to patronize.

From our first meeting with Bob Lawler, one of Matz' employees, the service, the advice and the attitude were all top-notch. One thing I especially appreciated was that everything was low-key and respectful, with absolutely no sales pressure about anything, from the details of the visitation and service to the choice of casket. When I met Paul Matz on a later visit, I complimented him on this, and he explained that none of their employees work on commission. That's the advantage of dealing with a long-established family business, I guess. On the day of Mom's visitation/service, Brian Peterson was very helpful and made sure that everything went smoothly. And I was also very pleased with the minister Matz found for us. (The chaplain from Mom's nursing home, who otherwise would have done the service, was out of town that weekend.) Obviously, I hope not to have need of a funeral home for a long time, but if the need arose, I'd go back to Matz without hesitation.

My grandmother looked nice, and was treated respectfully and made up well, but she didn't look a thing like herself. Only from certain angles at certain distances did it look like her at all. I understand that bodies never look the same as they did in real life (I think it's something with the mouth...) but my grandmother really looked different. She wasn't badly done by any means, but we were all in agreeance and all surprised. Otherwise, though, they seem like a lovely place. The parlors are HUGE and the lounges are nice and conveniently located. The place felt homey. Well, as homey as it can for a funeral home, where you never really want to be.
