Since my parents passed away in 2024 only three months apart from one another, we knew that this would be a true "double headstone" with everything done at the same time. Sprung Monument was AMAZING to work with. They have incredible service and helped me with the choice of stone and planning. We sent them our proposed design and they gave us EXACTLY what we wanted. Our stone was beautiful high gloss Black granite with a scanned picture of my parents on their wedding day. Everyone who has seen the stone has marveled at its beauty and the incredible detail of the photo likeness- you can make out the detail on my mother's wedding dress-- that is how perfect it is. My parents would be so pleased to be memorialized with such a gorgeous monument.

Phyllis was very communicative, responsive, and helpful  the entire process of completing the steps for my Mom's tombstone. She made smart suggestions and was patient with me throughout all my calls and emails. Upon visiting my Mom's gravesite, (payment already completed), I realized that I had reviewed and approved the final copy and did not notice a missing Star of David. I informed Phyllis of the omission and she consoled me, not to worry, she would work on it. I then received a letter asking for my consent to allow the addition of The Star of David to the headstone. Making this last correction just demonstrates what an honest caring individual she is and Sprung Memorial for making this right. I, and my family, are so appreciative for their willingness to work with me. Thank you Phyllis and Sprung Memorial.

I cannot say enough about this funeral home and the staff and Director (and even the dog Jake). To…read moresay a funeral was beautiful seems a little morbid and inappropriate. but, that's exactly how I can describe my father's wake at Jacobson funeral home in Huntington. They went above and beyond in every little detail From the minute we walked in and met with them. They were comforting, professional, and absolutely amazing. even the little small touch with them standing at the door as we exited for the funeral progression to the cemetery- they offered a plaque for each car that said funeral and travel tissue packages. I've never seen that done before at a funeral. they truly care about the deceased and the family! Even if you do not live in the immediate area, I would highly recommend considering Jacobson funeral home. With love the family of Robert Peckham

Chris and his team could not have been more thoughtful, caring or sensitively attuned to what was…read moreneeded during the entire process of my mother-in-law's passing and funeral. Chris is likely to have attended to thousands of funerals, but there was no sense that this was 'same-old, same-old' with him. He was so in tune with where the family was emotionally, and was able to adjust accordingly. He was such a calming, helpful presence throughout. He has the wisdom of knowing that people's faculties are compromised at a time like this and guided us gently through each part of the process at just the right time, never invasive, checking in on what might be needed and offering just the right amount of guidance and preparation. Likewise, every inch of the funeral home and their chapels have been designed to make you feel the warmth, serenity and dignity you would wish for at such a time: The decor is elegant but homey; the background music is peaceful and settling; the fish pond and fountain in the reception area adds a natural, calming element, and of course, there's Jake. Jake (Chris's shadow) is a young, highly trained labradoodle who is the resident support dog, gently walking around, offering himself to anyone he senses may need him. He is a special soul and he loves his work. I don't think the process could have gone more smoothly. The chapel was beautifully set up and my mother-in-law looked so naturally elegant and peaceful at her wake in the chapel. They did an incredible job. They created a beautiful digital slideshow from all our photos and set up our photo boards and flowers magnificently. After the service, they packed up everything from the chapel and stored it for us carefully until we could collect it at our convenience. Nothing seemed too much for them as long as they could help make this process as easy and meaningful as possible for us. One final aspect worth mentioning: The funeral home allowed us to arrange a lot upfront, before my mother-in-law passed, which similar business services do not always allow. Once someone has passed, emotions are so high that it's really hard to concentrate on small details, which is required to plan accordingly. Being able to plan this all upfront was incredibly helpful.

They took no time to explain anything to my family and myself and they treated my mother, the widow as though she did not deserve a second of their time. When asked to explain certain fees, they always responded by stating that the price was standard. Looking back now, we definitely overpaid for certain things.

When I called to find out the arrangements the lady on the phone said the funeral director we ould call me back, of course he never did. Two days ago on 11/13/2023 I called Forrester Funeral Home again to find out how we have my mother in-laws name added to the headstone. The lady who answered the phone took all my information and promised the funeral director would call us back the same day. Of course no phone call was ever made. This was my wifes mother and even though the funeral home know this they kept all information private. This funeral home is a disgrace. How do you keep information private from a DAUGHTER????? We have been informed that the funeral home has nothing to do with adding name to headstone. That does not however explain how RUDE they were when my wifes MOTHER passed away. Extremely unprofessional and does not deserve to be in the funeral business. I can't believe this funeral home actually called the two sisters and asked them to call us to remove this factual information. Forrester funeral home didn't even have the common curtisy to return our phone call. Absolutely disgraceful.

We found out he had made his final arrangements through Mr. Albrecht. We were so comforted by this man, that it certainly helped us through this difficult time.

Having never gone through this process before, I was overwhelmed and unsure where to start, but James guided us through every step with compassion and professionalism. He was patient, understanding, and made sure we felt supported the entire way. I was especially anxious about how my loved one would look, but James did an absolutely beautiful job. Everything was handled with such dignity and respect. The funeral home itself is warm and welcoming, with beautiful grounds filled with flowers and even tasteful seasonal decorations that brought a small bit of comfort. Several of our friends commented afterward on how everything was arranged so perfectly. One even said, "I don't know if this is a weird thing to say, but you guys always plan the best events, and even though this was a sad one, it was perfect." That's truly a testament to James and the entire team at Albrecht, Bruno & O'Shea. They made a very hard day a little bit easier, and for that, I'm deeply thankful.

Our family can never thank him for the peace he has given us. My brother Glenn recently passed away in Texas. He he did not have a wife or family who could take care of his burial in Texas. I contacted Schmitt's funeral and spoke to Curt and he recommended a funeral director in El Paso TX who I was able to get my brother from the hospital morgue to a facility where he could be properly cremated and then after some veterans paperwork... We were able to have his remains shipped to New York to the Charles G Schmitt funeral home. Curt was wonderful with his staff making arrangements for my brother who is an army veteran. The thing is I haven't been in contact with my brother for over 40 years so I didn't have a lot of information and what little information I was able to provide they were able to get my brother approved to be laid to rest at the Long Island National veterans cemetery in Farmingdale. The staff at the Long Island National veterans cemetery was amazing, I was thankful for the honor guard as well as the clergy that was provided. There is no words for the value and appreciation one gets from a military service. Whether you choose to have your loved one buried in a traditional grave site or placed in an urn and put in a niche... Contact them and have a conversation and I'm sure you will be satisfied with the professionalism and sincere care that they provide.
