I am the daughter of the deceased who Chris from Buklad handled. Chris & his staff were to say the least professional, warm & accommodating.

We have used this funeral home before ... (My cheap brother's decision).....against my better…read morejudgment for both my mother and father. Both of these services were quite tacky. Yesterday we buried an aunt ...it seemed as though everything was in order until we got to the cemetery. I was a pallbearer and noticed that the casket was not shut properly as we carried it to he final resting area in the cemetery..... I will then mentioned this to the man in charge who happened to be Chris Merlino and he was offended by me noticing this and said the seal was broken. Is that OK with you? Although I said yes, I'm sure he could tell by my body language that it was not OK with this..... His attitude of anger and resentment, because I noticed this flaw was echoed in his response !! I did not mention it to my cousins or anyone else, but this man and this funeral home.... Had sold my cousins, a defective coffin and he was offended that I had noticed it !! He did not have time to premeditate his immediate action, or the way he handled it, but I know that he had sold a defective coffin that would not seal properly... because the seal was broken and hoped no one would notice it because it was going into a concrete box and then going to be buried anyway I would never use this funeral home and already instructed my family that when my time arrives do not use this unprofessional tacky funeral home for my services !! Also, the little priest that he uses all the time I have seen him before he reminds me of Otis from the Andy Griffith show, and although his words inside, the funeral parlor were kind, and he looked halfway presentable. This was not the fact at the cemetery in the bright sunshine, you could tell that he was wearing yellowed clothing that looked like it had been washed with brown pants in a washer. He was so disheveled and frankly, an embarrassment my family and the funeral home ...../I have a very keen on me for perfection being a perfectionist and a man that had ran a limousine service for many many years and also did much funeral work .... including pick ups for Tony Moro....is why I noticed every detail but by noticing the detail, I angered Chris Merlino, and I did not appreciate his response. Therefore, to sum it all up, find a more professional and compassionate funeral home, and hopefully the little priest will be able to put some of his savings into buying proper clothing to wear, especially in the bright sunshine, where you could tell it looked like ... his clothing representing the Lord came from the Salvation Army !!! I would say to sum it up ....it was a tacky unprofessional money grab !! !!

Before she passed, my husband and I sat down with Rocco to preplan her funeral arrangements. As difficult as that was, he showed us professionalism, kindness but most importantly, compassion. When she passed, Rocco handled her with care and respect. At the wake, we had a video playing with a lot of photos and few of her favorite songs that Rocco had put together. Then we switched it to her favorite music for everyone to hear. He even had her favorite character Stitch on her prayer cards. He did things that we didn't even think of to make sure Paula was honored. Most importantly, Rocco and Maryann made sure she looked beautiful. The cancer took over her whole body but you would never know it on how beautiful she looked. She looked the best she ever did since battling cancer for 2-1/2 years. We were going to have a closed casket, just open for family. When we saw her and how beautiful Rocco and Maryann made her, we decided to keep it open. The DeToro family will forever be grateful to Rocco, Maryann and the rest of the Kurzawa staff.
