My mother passed away in October of 2018 and was buried in Mount Hope Cemetery in…read moreHastings-on-Hudson. We needed the monument (headstone and foot stone) installed for the one year anniversary, but it took forever for my sister and I to agree on the language, so we put off the order. I ended up checking with four monument companies in the spring and chose Pulver-Huess, in part because we had seen their work on the grave next to Mom's and thought it was very well done. They were also significantly less expensive than at least one of the other options. Roger was very patient as my sister and I worked out the most minute of details. It's a family-owned business (can't remember if Roger said he is the third generation and his son is the fourth or whether he is the fourth and his son is the fifth). Either way, you get the point. The office is in a house just across the street from Mount Hope and it is definitely not a fancy place. (In fact, if my sister had seen the place, I guarantee that she would have wanted us to buy the monument from someplace fancier.) And I don't think they even have a website. But the bottom line is that Pulver-Heuss made a difficult situation as pleasant as possible, and the headstone and footstone look gorgeous.

I do now know anyone laid to rest at Gate of Heaven, Mrs. K. and I stopped through here to see the final resting places of some famous people. Gate of Heaven and Kensico Cemetery are adjacent to each other but are operated separately. Kensico was founded in 1889 as a non-sectarian burial ground. Gate of Heaven Cemetery, on the other hand, was established later and is owned and operated by the Catholic Archdiocese of New York. Certainly there are more crosses and other religious icons here at Gate of Heaven. We were able to easily find what we wanted to see. New York Yankees coach Billy Martin. Hollywood actor James Cagney. Baseball player Babe Ruth's grave was easy to spot, adorned with ball caps and such. It is a pleasant park-like atmosphere and worth remembering that some people aren't sight-seeing here, so please be respectful. [Review 1148 of 2025 - 569 in New York - 24701 overall]

At the cemetary, as the priest blessed the coffin, I recognized that the funeral home embossed the wrong name on the outside of my father's coffin! There was nothing I could do at that moment because of distraught family members. If I were there alone, I would have stopped the burial! Instead, I immediately contacted the funeral home. To this day, four months later, Matt and the funeral home have not corrected the problem. I have called a number of times. I would NOT recommend this funeral home because of their insincerity and refusal to take responsibility for their mistake. The idea of my father's coffin having the wrong name on it makes me crazy on a daily basis. My father has gone to meet his Maker in a coffin with a mistake that will stay there virtually forever.

They made it seem like they had shipped caskets to other states, but the shipment was delayed a couple days because they really didn't know what they were doing. Some of the smaller things were flubbed as well: they said they'd send the death certificates in the casket itself and then didn't, we chose one inscription for the casket and they ended up doing a different one. At no point did we get an apology or even a "thank you for your patience on this matter". The receiving facility was part of a larger chain, and the Pelham folks made it seem like we wouldn't be getting a personal touch from them, though the smaller company screwed up anyway.
