In front of my sister in laws grave the sidewalk buckled, when I complained they removed it, when I asked when new concrete would be poured they said it was up to the association that we belonged to replace. It took me 3 years to get it fixed. I am a bilateral amputee and nearly fell was all it took. I've had my mother's grave ran over by a truck and her headstone knocked down. I constantly complained of the shrubs not growing and dying. A cemetery is a place of both sorrow and solitude, for 15 years I have been able to feel at peace when visiting. After my last visit, I was told they would address all of my concerns, Im Doubtful they will.

When we went to visit the site approximately 18 months later, my dad's foot stone was ripped apart by rocks and shovels. We complained how distraught we were to see the damage. Two weeks later I received a letter from the most despicable, disgraceful money-hungry staff stating that I was responsible for the damage by placing stones on my father's grave. They further stated that I would be fined if I continued to put a stone of my parent's graves. Know what? Four family members will not be buried in our family foundation plots. Administration did not take any responsibility for their error. They did NOT own up to their responsibility. Honesty, integrity and justice did not prevail. SHAMEFUL.

My husband, mother and father are entombed at St. Paul Garden Mausoleum. I had my name inscribed on the crypt, I regretted I had my maiden name, for quite a while it bothered me. I went to the office and explained I just wanted the initial of my maiden name, not my entire maiden name. Caretakers, Dave and Tony assured me they can fix my name just the way I want and the front office approved it, no problem. I feel at peace now knowing when I take my place next to my husband,Don, my mom and dad, I will be happy because it is exactly what I want on the crypt.It is huge relief to me. I got this right with the help of staff. I dont have a big enough thank you. Mostly, I want the world to know that the ones you love are in a safe and beautifully maintain cemetery. In 25 years since my mother was entombed here, it has always been a comfort to know she is protected and respected by all who are caretakers of the deceased. and now my husband, Don and Dad. They are together in a place I trust and have confidence. St. Gertrudes is a beautiful spot. There are so many others I know who have been buried here. Thank you so much from the depth of my soul. God Bless each of you, you all do the work of caring for our loved ones. Importantly, all the staff personify the word professional, they are professionals to the hilt.

I knew her from visiting my friends when they were in New Jersey from California to see her and the many siblings. She was a wise and heart centered woman. I wanted to pay my respects. The wake was last night and the funeral today. I was able to attend the large gathering yesterday, but had scheduling conflicts with the funeral service and internment today. Costello-Runyon Funeral Home at Green and Cooper in Iselin, NJ, is in the old neighborhood and was an excellent space for a large family get together to honor and celebrate a remarkable life. Although a small facility, it was appropriately somber and comfortable to accommodate the 50 or so people who attended the viewing. There was enough room for the multitude of photographs and flowers around the room, as well as ample space to speak with everyone throughout the evening while paying homage to the dimming of life force and light we were there to pay tribute to. Toward the end of the gathering, a deacon from the local Roman Catholic Church led us through prayers and commiserations. He was humble and obviously a man gifted at offering condolences while calling us to remember all the good she brought into the world. He reminded all of us that humor was a big part of her life, and calling on that emotion was totally appropriate in these circumstances. So, as the generations spoke of mom, grandma and great grandma, we all laughed and cried remembering her amazing spirit. She had lived a long and meaningful life, and left nothing undone when it was her time. That we could all say as much when our time draws nigh. Thank you to Costello-Runyon for providing the right space to let that happen.

Instead of being compassionate, caring, kind & their main concern being for the deceased Tom Costello is ONLY concerned with the money & will easily fill his pocket with bribes even if it's wrong & immortal acts. Also he deals with people in mourning with nastiness & rudeness when they approach him with a question, consern, request or try to avoid a major scene or bad situation from happening his response is very cold & dismissive. I believe this type of businesses should only be owned & operated with compasion, understanding, & kindness none of which he possesses.

They promised us a tv screen in the overflow room during our wake service for my dad. The overflow room was completely packed with absolutely no tv so they just sat there and heard nothing. During the funeral procession drive, half the cars got disconnected. When a family member called them for guidance, Maryann responded very rudely telling us that we're supposed to be at a different cemetery (which was INACCURATE!). She was trying to direct us with the wrong funeral information. Whenever I called to get logistical information squared away bc my siblings and I were getting conflicting information from her, she was EXTREMELY condescending trying to tell me that I was the confused one. She also told me she sent things to my brother via email which was plain FALSE! Omg, this lady is in the wrong line of business. No one should speak to a grieving family like that. And you need to get your facts straight with the deaths. If you're too overwhelmed then you need to book what you can handle. Sounds like Maryann is the confused one...on top of being down right rude, condescending, and negligent. My condolences to all grieving families....it's hard enough to lose a loved one but do yourself a favor and find yourself another funeral home.
