My husband of 37 yrs sadly passed away suddenly and unexpectedly from a cardiac aneurysm and for you to ask if I have the correct funeral home is quite insensitive & insulting. I dealt with Christine. She was very cold and 'matter of fact'. Everything I posted indeed happened. I certainly would have liked to have management there on that evening. As you can imagine, it was an extremely sad & stressful time for myself and our three sons. There was no one present to ask for help. Again, once the bill was settled, management disappeared. I did receive a cake from a bakery from your buisness the following week which was the only upside as I hadn't eaten for days. I still feel very badly as things could've gone a whole lot better. Again, no one even asked if I needed anything or helped the guests get situated. I literally stood up the whole time not knowing what to do. It took me a while to have the courage to even write this. It's difficult to continue to realize that things did not go well.

I finally…read moredecided that if it will help others alleviate some of their pain on the day of a loved ones funeral, then here is my review and advice: Although my mother was ethnically and culturally Jewish, she was not at all religious so we called and asked if they had a non-religious chapel for a secular memorial service. Kevin assured us we could have a non-religious/secular service. We then met with Kevin who showed us the neutral memorial chapel (they have another religious one next door) and he was helpful explaining all costs and coordination with cemetery. The funeral was scheduled for Monday. On Sunday the town car showed up to pick us up which freaked us out thinking they scheduled the funeral on the wrong day. Kevin apologized and owned his mistake. The town car came at correct time the next day but the driver was on the phone with (clearly) personal calls throughout the drive there and back, very unprofessional and insensitive. We had asked in initial meeting if there was a way to put up photos and they said they had large magnet boards to do photo collages. The magnets turned out to be a collection of chipped, broken, irregularly shaped chunks of old magnetic strips which looked junky and were hard to work with. New magnets would cost them $20 or less on Amazon and would be both much easier to use and more aesthetically pleasing. They told us most people prepare their photos at home but not until we were already there struggling with their crummy magnets. Had we known, we would have bought our own boards and magnets. There were trays of yarmulkes laid out and men attending funeral put them on. We specifically chose this chapel and told them we were having a nonreligious service so it caught us by surprise, We had to ask the men working to remove the trays of yarmulkes and also ask guests to remove them as my mother would have wanted. This made things weird and awkward. We were very glad to be told that the service could be live streamed for people to watch who could not attend in person. Since there was a very small number of people attending in a large chapel, I chose to stand close to them instead of at the podium up on the dais. Unfortunately, none of the men working, there standing in the room to help, ever told me beforehand that I HAD to stand at the podium, using the microphone, in order for the people watching the live stream to hear me! This was a MAJOR lack of communication on their part! I only found out I couldn't be heard on web streaming when I inquired about getting a recording of service days later and was told I would not be heard on it because I was not at the podium. I felt so sad and disappointed that others watching couldn't hear me and that I couldn't be heard on recording. I had asked days ahead of time if we could play a specific song at the end and was told by Kevin they could pull it up on Spotify to play through their speakers in chapel. After numerous failed attempts by multiple staff to try to get the song to play over speakers and then also not starting song from the beginning - which included waiting, leaving chapel to ask what's the problem, coming back in, waiting, asking again what was going on - we got a rude hostile attitude from Kevin! Ordinarily one of us would have confronted Kevin about his unprofessional attitude but not in the midst of the funeral. I finally just played the song holding my phone up to the microphone on the podium. It was an extremely awkward end to the service. Lastly, again, we chose this place because we wanted a non-religious memorial. They still draped a large cloth with a Jewish star on the coffin AND attached another one on the coffin which I had to rip off at the gravesite, leaving chunks of adhesive on the coffin, as it was lowered into the ground. We could not have been clearer from the first phone call and subsequent meeting about what my mother wanted, a non religious service. They just didn't listen or pay attention to the details! The fact that the cost of it all included obligatory "gratuities" for people working there for what was ultimately terrible service was also very disappointing. To summarize my advice to minimize stress and have things run smoothly: 1. Be very clear about religious vs. secular preference details. 2. Confirm date of service and town car. 3. Bring photos on your own boards or just bring your own magnets. Bring large photos in your own frames to display on table. 4. You must stand at podium using microphone to be heard on webcam. 5. Check sound system is working and test music is cued up properly beforehand or have music ready on your device to play into podium microphone. I hope this was helpful. My sincerest condolences to you at your time of loss.

Five years ago, we had engaged North Shore for help and advice for our project honoring 11 Army airmen killed in a heroic life-saving action in Bellerose NY in 1940. Their excellent support for the design and material for this memorial, and invaluable technical guidance was instrumental for the eventual successful completion of the monument this year. North Shore Monuments completed construction on schedule in early June 2023, and we dedicated the memorial monument as "The Bellerose War Memorial" on June 17th. Our thanks in particular to North Shore's construction manager Mario Morales and his staff, owners and advisors Hugh and Maggie Tanchuck, but especially to Lisa Burke. Lisa's close communication, coordination and expert guidance over the many years of planning this project contributed greatly to its eventual successful completion. The monument work was outstanding, but the exceptional helpful and knowledgeable people of North Shore Monuments made it all possible.

Posted on behalf of Kim Hochbrueckner:…read more I'm a Mineola native, so I always prefer to support local businesses when I can. I recently used Mineola Signs for signage at the oral surgery office I manage in Glen Cove, Glen Cove Oral Surgery and Dental Implants, and they were fantastic. They made the entire process so easy. They were super responsive, had a quick turnaround, and were very professional. Everything was handled efficiently, and the signage came out exactly how we wanted it. It looks great and fits perfectly with our office. It's hard to find businesses that are both easy to work with and deliver quality work, but Mineola Signs really does both. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a local company you can trust!
