    I can not thank Christine and Ruby Memorial enough for her compassion in taking care of my grandma as if it were her own.

So many urns are missing. So much grass and weeds grown over the headstones. Headstones were sunken down below the ground level. New grass hasn't been sown over grave site in two and a half years.

My husband passed away on August 17th and we had his funeral on August 23rd. I take flowers to my parents regularly as I live nearby. On August 25th, two days after the funeral, I went to the cemetery to visit my husband's grave. It was a mess. The dirt had been piled onto of the site, which I expected, but the flowers from the funeral home were all a mess. The stems had been 20 to 24 inches long. Roses and carnations, all white. Only the bottom 7 inches of the stems were left. They had been cut sharply at an angle. In addition the white ribbon was gone. I filed a police report and took photos and a video. I believe someone cut the flowers and took the ribbon. Must have made a nice bouquet to someone. The police agreed. I went to see the owner the following Monday. He claimed the deer ate the flowers. Now, we have deer around our home. They only eat the top flower and they certainly don't eat ribbon. He spoke to me in a very overbearing manner. I will file a claim in Small Claims Court for 265 dollars and also for 500 for pain and suffering. If he knew they had a deer problem, and he showed me photos of the deer on some grassy area, possibly the cemetery, maybe not, then he should have advised me to spray with deer repellant. Or they could have done that. Either way, I believe they are liable. We will see.

    I do not have enough words of gratitude to express how my family feels about the team at Gleason's…read moreFuneral Home. We have unfortunately had the pleasure of being in their company on more than one occasion. But the two that are nearest and dearest to my heart are the passing of my father (4 years ago) and my mother, August 15, 2024. In both encounters, we were able to honor my parents as individuals and showcase who they were as people, loved by so many. Gleason's did not shy away from some of our specific requests, instead, they embraced the opportunity to help us honor our parents. We are grateful for the send-off we were able to give them both, and grateful for the care and compassion shown by Billy and the team at Gleason's. "Thank you" will never be enough...

    The funeral itself was nicely done and the process was made easy by the staff. They offered a lot…read moreof support and were transparent about all the cost. The home is a nice home and it's spacious. The reason I give it 3 stars is bc the "business" itself was disorganized and their professionalism went out the door when I "paid them late". Their policy is half the amount now; the other half is due a month later. My mom passed in September and we paid them half the day of the services (aka my grandma paid them). In October we called 4 times to get the amount that was owed but each time no one was available and we had to leave messages. They called twice to leave messages but never included the amount that was due. So the holidays came up and I stopped trying to play phone tag - I figured eventually they will send a bill or call and give me an amount. Finally in March they call and I am surprised as this is the first of I heard from them in months. They leave a message and FINALLY leave the amount in the message. I tell my grandma and my aunt sends the check in the mail. The guy calls back the next day and I can answer so I do, and he starts threatening he's sending papers to his lawyer. I told him "give it a couple days bc it's in the mail". And then goes off to berate me about how it's "my responsibility" to pay him. Sorry you guys are only available at the establishment when you have funerals and it's impossible to reach you otherwise. I was flabbergasted at the way he spoke to me - I had every intention of paying we just literally had no one to discuss the matter with for nearly 6 months! And then they have the audacity to try and "lecture" me about my responsibilities. Maybe they should have office hours where they can answer questions for those they serve?

What a mistake! An absolute NO! One of the worst business experiences of my life. Mr. Goldstein knew my parent was a proud Veteran. We met with him 2 weeks before the passing and specifically told him that. And they were living in a Veterans' Home. No way to miss the fact of them being a Veteran. Meanwhile, when it was time for the funeral, the American flag was missing from covering the casket, a glaring omission and very upsetting to those in attendance. As a mourner, the child, I never received the standard laminated document that is usually handed out listing the yahrzeit dates for the future. When I later called and made a simple request for the yahrzeit laminated sheet, included as part of funeral cost, I was literally yelled at by Martin Goldstein for some reason. In his screaming, out of the blue, he said the following, screaming at the top of his voice through the phone: "You're not my mother." I don't know what he was talking about. I was making a simple request. The man has very, very serious anger management and other issues.

When my mother, Susan Farber made her arrangements for her funeral she made it very clear to Mr. Goldstein that she wanted her hearing aids, false teeth, and glasses to be placed in the casket with her. In fact when I spoke to him on the day of my mothers passing he said please bring those items because my mother especially mentioned she wanted them with her. I brought them to you that day 10/21/22 and left them in his care! Upon arriving to the cemetery on the day of the funeral your employee gave me a bag with what I presumed was just the yarzeit candle. It was only after the funeral and I internment that I looked in the bag and was absolutely horrified to see that the last physical request my mother made of me was not met. The hearing aids, teeth and glasses were still in the bag. I felt violated. You knew this was important to my mother so in turn was important to me. I immediately called Mr. Goldstein and his answer was to say leave the items in the office and he would bury them the next day. I was disgusted that he thought I'd leave it that to him. He began yelling and said what do I want him to do? I wanted him to do his job. I went back to the cemetery and unfortunately the items could not be put with my mother in the casket because that would require an exhumation. I could only settle for having the items buried near her. It is not what she or I wanted or requested. The lack of professionalism and follow through did not meet what my mothers or my expectations. Beware of your expectations of Goldsteins Funerals as you will be gravely disappointed

    Holy Cross Burial Park and Mausoleum - This is the wreath that was at my parents grave. Do you think this is worth $55.00?

    I am posting this so that perhaps cemetery management makes the necessary changes. On 10/26/23 my…read moremother passed away and on 10/30/23 she was laid to rest in the grave that my father was laid to rest back in 1999 at Holy Cross Cemetery. My sister contacted the Cemetery to have Christmas wreaths placed at the grave of our parents and another one at our nephews grave also located at Holy Cross Cemetery. On Saturday 12/23/23 my sister and her daughter when to the cemetery. When they got to the grave of our parents the wreath was place on the decaying flowers that were never cleaned up since my mother was laid to rest two months ago. When they went to the grave of our nephew there was no wreath. The cost to have the cemetery place a wreath is $55.00 / wreath. My sister emailed the cemetery because the office on the cemetery grounds was closed on Saturday 12/23/23. Naturally, there was no response on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day but, you would expect a response on Tuesday 12/26/23. The Cemetery never responded. My sister call the Cemetery and a woman answered. My sister explained that the wreath placed at our parents grave was laid on top of dead flowers. She told my sister that they only clean twice a year and because my mother passed at the end of October the next cleaning is May. She also explained to my sister that the family should clean the dead flowers between cemetery cleanups. Then my sister explained that there was no wreath placed at our nephews grave. My sister was told that that was an oversight and they would refund $55.00. My questions: 1- If no one went to the Cemetery how would you know that the wreath you paid for wasn't provided? 2- If the family is responsible to clean up the grave sites between cemetery biannual cleanups, what's stopping me from raking the debris off my loved ones grave an onto someone else's grave? What's stopping me from placing the debris in a bag and taking it to the cemetery management office so they can store the debris until they do their biannual cleanup? 3- Why does the cemetery police have time to remove items from grave sites that they feel aren't appropriate? The cemetery police have time to remove Items like ballon's, teddy bear, etc. from grave sites but, they don't have time to clean dead flowers? I included a picture of the $55,00 wreath that the cemetery placed at our parents grave just so you can see what Holy Cross Cemetery feels is acceptable.

The funerals were nice. But I didn't feel any grief. Their house in East Brunswick was sold. Maybe demolished. These people are gone from the Earth without a trace. I'll let you in on a secret: I fear death, and the deaths of those I love. Death is the ultimate tragedy... a life of suffering is tough, but in most cases we can make things better. Death you can't fix. I won't romanticize death or martyrdom and drape them in metaphor. Death is real, it's brutal, it's tragic. You should be sad -- you should be afraid.
