Valley Memorial Funeral Home took care of both my parents' funerals, my mother in 2014 and my…read morefather in December 2019. They were kind, considerate and compassionate, the atmosphere was warm and inviting for the guests, it felt like a home. The video memorial was easy to create and came out beautifully. We were able to host a special ceremony for Dad that was enjoyed by all. I recommend this Funeral Home, they do a great job and are wonderful to work with.

The unexpected loss of my mother was a grief that I would not wish upon other people. As I was…read morelooking for a cremation service per the request of my mom prior to her passing. I came across Inpeace. The care of the team and also the flexibility made them the ultimate choice that I ended up going with. They have a quick turn around time to have your loved one cremated rather than waiting weeks to get your loved one the rest that they truly need. They were also very flexible with the payment method specially when you need to get the process moving. Any questions I had was answered with confidence or if they did not know, they would look for the answer and get back to me as soon as they were able. If you are going through what I am going through, I highly recommend Inpeace as the premier cremation service without any doubt.

Samantha Muro-Duvidzon, funeral director at Menorah Chapels, is truly exceptional. She was…read moreunderstanding, patient, and supportive throughout the entire process. I am not sure I would have been able to navigate such a difficult time without her steady guidance from start to finish. My late husband was Jewish, and while I am not, Samantha thoughtfully walked me through each tradition, explaining its meaning and significance. She made it possible for me to make respectful, informed decisions that honored Jewish funeral customs. Throughout, she was honest, compassionate, and never pushed unnecessary or costly additions. I highly recommend Menorah Chapels for their professionalism, care, and integrity during such an emotional time.

Driving into the cemetery, after a rather long, arduous drive on parkway north, we entered a beautiful, peaceful catholic cemetery.. so lovely, I thought. Unfortunately, I had to deal with two women working in the cemetery office. As we approached the counter, the workers took their sweet time to address us. Then unfortunately, this troll-like woman, whom I believe was Lydia, rummaged through our paperwork with much distain and rudeness. She was without a doubt, the most ignorant, and despicable person I unfortunately had to encounter. Believe me, these were especially trying times for myself and family. However, the other employee came to the counter and resolved the issue, which I might add, was caused by their office giving the funeral director of Evergreen Funeral Home, Middletown,NJ., incorrect or not specific requirements needed for the paperwork. Here's a thought Lydia, if you are so unhappy being employed by the Archdiocese, Gate of Heaven Cemetery, in which you deal with bereaved families , you should seek employment more suitable to your demeanor and personality...such as a garbage depot. ja

Want to say "Thank You" to Father Joe, the new Chaplain at the cemetery. When I dropped by the…read moreMausoleum to say a prayer in the chapel I noticed a table set up near the entrance where Father Joe had a sign introducing himself as the Chaplain, offering to say a prayer for those whose names could be written on paper provided and asking visitors to take one of the crosses on a mirror on the table. I planned to return to the Mausoleum after visiting the graves of my relatives to get a cross before leaving. While I was at the gravesite of a loved one, a car pulled up and Father Joe introduced himself. He requested that I write a name down of a loved one who he could pray for and he gave me a Holy Spirit Pin to hold onto. He felt like so genuine a human being and meeting him lifted my spirits and felt so comforting. Father Joe seems like a truly welcome addition to Gate of Heaven and it is so wonderful to personally experience how he is making himself available for spiritual guidance to visitors

It was great to send out a link by phone and Facebook and not be bombarded with calls and repeat yourself over and over. Even family out of the country were able to participate via app. You can order an Urn separately once the ashes are prepared. I was so nervous at first and took a chance! That is why reviews are so important! I would absolutely recommend their services & hope this helps someone decide in their time of need. Thank you!
