Stay away!! We have 4-5 members of our very large, extended family here in one of the original…read moremausoleums dating back to the early 1980's. Never had any issues ... until now. When our grandmother got sick ... they were so nice when I called to ask about her joining my grandfather in the same crypt. But after she passed this year ... it became a nightmare. It started out ok ... as my aunt made all the arrangements and was again promised that our grandparents would be laid to rest together. Much of our family had moved away from the area ... but many decided to come back (from as far as CA and the UK) just for the interment. Everything was fine as family members flew her urn in from CA. Upon calling them to confirm the service in less than 1.5 days ... this is where things took a turn for the worse, as they said grandma would now NOT be with grandpa, but in another crypt! This went back and forth for another whole day ... where they said the only solution to ensure that they'd be together was to purchase ANOTHER crypt at over $5K plus fees, which was in the newer section away from the rest of our family ... and we would have to postpone the service already scheduled for the next day until new paperwork was completed! It was thoroughly demoralizing ... not to mention callus and uncaring after the pain and grief we were already experiencing from the loss of our grandmother. After we resigned ourselves to continuing with the planned service with grandma being in a different crypt (especially since all family members had already made arrangements to attend the next day) ... we were thrown for another loop when we went there in the morning prior to the service. As the crypt was opened in preparation for the interment ... it seemed like the size of the crypt did not match the paperwork/contract and the urn would NOT fit! We had to scramble again and it was by some miracle that we were able to resolve it. What a terrible way to do business and to take advantage of families at such a difficult time in their lives ... just horrendous!!

There are not enough kind words that I can say about our experience with the General Manager, James…read moreSacco. My family recently suffered the unthinkable with the loss of our daughter. We had to drive through the night from out of state to get back to New Jersey and make arrangements. James returned my phone call after-hours and spent so much time assisting us during our most difficult time. James' kindness and compassion made our journey more bearable and took away much of our anxiety. We have family members buried at Locustwood so naturally it was where we wanted our daughter to rest. I couldn't help but feel that those family members led us to James in order to guide us and comfort us in such a dark time. What mattered the most to my wife and I was that he listened, he listened to us and learned about our daughter and simply let us grieve. There was no push, only recommendations and gentle assistance. To our surprise when we arrived at the cemetery James was there to assist us in person, even on a Sunday. We found the park to be more radiant and beautiful than when we moved out of state. You can clearly see that James cares about his work and making Locustwood the beautiful serene setting that it once was. Thank you for everything James Sacco, looking forward to meeting you again during our visits home when we come to spend time with our daughter. We are comforted knowing that she's in good hands.

The dead people business is not fun. You must deal with grieving, sometimes angry people, who are…read morebewildered and confused and who have many questions. When we lost my father recently, my two sisters were the ones who had to deal with the funeral arrangements. Luckily, they were in the hands of one of the nicest funeral directors you would ever want to meet. That's Rocco. He guided them very gently through the many decisions they had to make, was very calming and sympathetic to my mother, didn't try to upsell us on anything and generally made what is a most painful experience one that honestly... wasn't too bad. He thought of everything, really, he did and took notice of even the smallest of things. For example, at the funeral mass, when he moved the flowers from one area to another, he was literally on his hands and knees discreetly picking up fallen flower petals off the floor. His timing was impeccable and kept the services on time and the crowds in line. After the funeral was over, we panicked for a moment because no one remembered to write down who sent which flowers so we could thank them. No worries - Rocco had already collected them and provided the cards to us later. I will be forever grateful for his many small kindnesses and treatment of our family during this difficult time. Thank you, Rocco, you do rock!
