They picked up her remains, cremated her in a timely fashion, returned over paid money without request, were there for me at any moment when I called with questions and could not be any more professional. Lori the daughter of the the generational owner was superb. I went to the parlor about 2 months after the cremation as I wanted to have prayer cards made. They pulled her file within 30 seconds. I was taken care of by a young man that is somewhat new in the business, but he was wonderful too. We designed, ordered and paid for the cards in twenty minutes. They then allowed me into their chapel to say a prayer or two. There will be more services needed in my lifetime and I will be sure to use this parlor and family owned organization. Matter of fact I will be sure to have my family use it for my services. Their prices are also the best around. Thank you for everything. Mary M

One of these amazing individuals is Mark D who coordinated the most beautiful funeral service for my best friend and sister.

I do now know anyone laid to rest at Gate of Heaven, Mrs. K. and I stopped through here to see the final resting places of some famous people. Gate of Heaven and Kensico Cemetery are adjacent to each other but are operated separately. Kensico was founded in 1889 as a non-sectarian burial ground. Gate of Heaven Cemetery, on the other hand, was established later and is owned and operated by the Catholic Archdiocese of New York. Certainly there are more crosses and other religious icons here at Gate of Heaven. We were able to easily find what we wanted to see. New York Yankees coach Billy Martin. Hollywood actor James Cagney. Baseball player Babe Ruth's grave was easy to spot, adorned with ball caps and such. It is a pleasant park-like atmosphere and worth remembering that some people aren't sight-seeing here, so please be respectful. [Review 1148 of 2025 - 569 in New York - 24701 overall]

The gentleman that answered the phone asked me what did I want then cleaned it up and said what do you need and kept cutting me off when I proceeded to ask him a question or two and basically seemed like he had no time - just very rude and at that point I said you know what never mind and hung the phone up it's just like customer service so important and in that business it's even more so and he, representing the business, proved to be unprofessional at the initial stage - a phone call - did I really want to put my loved one in the hands of people that can't show some compassion with even the phone call? Very disappointing during a very sad time for my family -

She assumed it was included in the bill. Ms Chong told her it wasn't but my mother paid her $100 to get one made. A month later, no death certificate copy was made. We called, but no return calls were made. My mother wished to visit the location where my father's ashes. So she called Ms Chong. She simply stopped picking up and started to block her calls. My mother has hypertension and was very stressed by this. I was just seething at the total indifference of Ms Chong. Finally Ms. Chong told her , " I don't know." It is New Jersey law for funeral homes to have an official document that indicates the location, time date, name of vessel, etc. if the remains are buried at sea. I called in a very influential friend for a favor to get this resolved. Almost instantly, Ms Chong produced the death certificate, the burial at sea documents, and an apology. The thing that angers me the most is that Ms Chong had the things we wanted ( and paid for) ready. She kept this from us either out of flippancy,laziness,or callousness. Not what you want from a funeral director. Her completely lack of empathy borders on sociopathy . The old adage about crooked businesses : they stop caring after the money clears. Yes, apparently includes this funeral home. FYI, my original review, was expletive laden, but I'm choosing the high road. Dad would have preferred it that way.
