About 6 mos. later, I decided to place his ashes where he was happiest. Lo and behold, the ring was gone. No smidges of gold in his ashes. I called and they tried to switch the blame to my stepson who was with me at the time. He did not take the ring. If you use this service, take the valuables bc they aren't safe

I had a mom who recently passed away and the pastor that spoke was just frustrating. He literally…read moretrauma dumped by telling a story that sounded so unbelievably laughable that I was shocked because at that point it wasn't about my mom it was about a ring he lost as a kid. I empathize with him and his story but I personally thought it was very inappropriate based on the current timing. It's not about relating it's about helping us get through an extremely rough time. At the end of it all he didn't even give his condolences even though he knew I was her son. Any other person could've done a better job and coming from a man who lost his own mother in his arms I would've expected at-least a little more empathy towards me and my stepfather.

My mother passed Jan 2023 in Jersey City Med CTR and their services where stress free & professional. I must have called Matt 20X's for little details just to put my family & friends at ease! Very understanding & comfortable! The app they provide will help you share all info & memories pertaining to any services/wake or memorial you would host for family & friends. 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!

John was so understanding ,compassionate and friendly and he prepared me for what lay ahead. Once mom died he swiftly put everything into place with grace, clarity and impeccable care.

It was the second month of the pandemic- April of 2020. I had previously made several calls to different funeral homes asking for my father to be picked up from the hospital and buried. No one was offering this service. It was all about cremation at this time, due to the pandemic. I found John Crawford who was a lifesaver during such a terrible time. He was able to bury my father who had died from covid, which was my fathers ultimate dying wish. John came through for me when no one else did, and he didn't ask me for a dime upfront. He told me not to worry about it, and he trusted me and in this day and age its so difficult for anyone to have trust. I was unable to attend the funeral, but he promised me he would say a prayer for my father and sent me pics of the casket as it was being lowered into the gravesite. I'll never forget John. God puts angels in our lives! Thanks John!!! The Rosado Family.
