Now known as the Hodder Farenga Funeral Home, we recently had a very good experience with Nick…read moreFarenga and team. Hodder Farenga came recommended from a local community group. We met with Nick, discussed what was desired in our family member's funeral, and he guided us to explore the different options. While difficult, Nick made it as easy as anyone could possibly make it, and did not attempt to influence our decisions one way or another. He simply presented the options and allowed us to decide. Once done, he prepared a detailed quote. While their full service funeral service is not inexpensive and there may be less expensive options, we found that Nick and team managed every element of the process and ceremonies very well and were professional from start to finish. We have no regrets and recommend Nick and team at Hodder Farenga Funeral Home.

This place is run by a crook. Nick Farenga should be ashamed of himself. He comes off so nice but…read moreis a vulture. We were mourning the death of my mother in law, it's stressful and who has the mind to think? Everything here is over priced. And things on the bill are repeated just worded differently, so ur basically paying for the same services a few times. But not only that, you pay over $3k for things such as supervision and for someone to direct the guests, that wasn't done, everyone was walking in the wrong direction causing traffic in the room. They also asked us which flower arrangements we wanted to keep after all is said and done, we told them which arrangements and we put it on a side table and they promised to set it aside to pick up after the funeral. Well that wasn't the case, the next day when we called to let them know we were picking them up, we learned that they sold our flower arrangements back to the other florists they work with. He then told us he would replace them but he never did. They return your phone calls before they get your money, but once you pay, your on your own. There was only one person that was a good guy and that was Carl. Everyone else there is disgusting. They are patronizing and condescending and don't give a crap about people that are mourning Bc it's something they do everyday, they are like robots. Oh and on top of it he said he would take off $200 off the bill, because the hair and makeup charges were over $500 which is ridiculous... when it was time to pay he didn't take it off the bill, instead Nick played stupid as if he was going to do it at the end...we had him recalculate everything Bc the total was way above what we agreed on. We made him break it all down. then he adjusted to the correct number. Then he just took $125 off the over calculated bill. We were so tired and stressed that it wasn't even worth arguing at that point. Beware of this place. Make sure you do your research on prices before you shop around. We chose that place Bc of the location, wasn't even worth it. Nick Farenga your a disgusting pig.

The headstone of one set of our grandparents is about 70 years old, and over time it had become…read morebadly weathered. Cleaning it wasn't in our plans for this year, but the death of a family member who wanted to be buried in that plot found us scrambling to improve its look. That's when we reached out to the Koch Monument team of Hackensack, NJ for help. We only had one weekend before the funeral to find someone who could attempt to clean it. The first company we called said it would take weeks so they couldn't do it. But then we called Koch Monument. We reached out to them on a Friday to prepare for a funeral the following Tuesday, and all they needed was a picture of the headstone to provide us an estimate, and once we agreed to their estimate they went right to work. When our family and friends arrived at the cemetery we discovered the headstone looked brand new, and stuck out from all the surrounding headstones which looked like ours did before the Koch Monument team cleaned it. And members of our family were especially touched at how good it looked. So we can whole heartedly recommend Koch Monument to anyone looking to have cemetery stonework cleaned. They did a wonderful job in a very tight time frame.
