I recently called Cypress Hills Cemetery to locate my loved one. The person that answered was…read moreabsolutely awesome. She was very patient, understanding and caring. She gave me the information and said when I did come to visit they would give me a map and show me how to get there. I asked if I could ask for her when I do go, she said yes and that her name is Olga. A couple of weeks later I did visit the cemetery and found Olga working in the office. She remembered our conversation and gave me a map with the directions, she was very kind and offered her condolences for my loss. I was actually thinking I would be given the information and be on my own. However it was totally opposite, she was very helpful, knowledgeable, and her voice and tone was that of an Angel. She made what was for me a very difficult situation totally manageable. Thank you Olga for all your help, you're a very special person.

I am not sure I would have been able to navigate such a difficult time without her steady guidance from start to finish. My late husband was Jewish, and while I am not, Samantha thoughtfully walked me through each tradition, explaining its meaning and significance. She made it possible for me to make respectful, informed decisions that honored Jewish funeral customs. Throughout, she was honest, compassionate, and never pushed unnecessary or costly additions. I highly recommend Menorah Chapels for their professionalism, care, and integrity during such an emotional time.

She encouraged us to look at other places and compare arrangements because as she said she wanted our business, she also wanted the family to be comfortable in our time of grief. We ultimately did go with another provider. However, it was only due to the size of expected mourners. We highly recommend this funeral home. We are grateful to Ms. Hill and her staff. YGT

The location is very easy to get to for people who reside in Brooklyn.

They made something so heavy feel just a little bit lighter. There are truly no words that can express how grateful my family and I are. We will never forget the love and support they showed us.

Fairview Cemetery & Arboretum is one of the most historic and picturesque places in Westfield…read more Established in 1868, it was created when the town's older church burial grounds were becoming crowded. It is both a cemetery and an accredited arboretum, with more than 100 identified tree species and self-guided tree tours. The grounds are known for their natural beauty, including wooded areas, a pond, and extensive landscaping. Fairview also serves as a historical record of modern Westfield. While many colonial-era residents are buried in Westfield's older Presbyterian Cemetery, many of the families who helped build the suburban town of Westfield are buried here. The pond, nicknamed "Ghost Pond," was still surrounded by woods when I was a kid in the 1960s. Back then, it was open to the public for ice skating. The scene in It's a Wonderful Life where George Bailey saves his brother Harry always reminds me of those childhood days skating on Ghost Pond. On my mother's side, my family lineage goes back to some of Westfield's earliest settlers. My parents and both sets of grandparents are buried here. In 2023, I worked with the cemetery office to arrange for my parents' burials in their family plot and to have a headstone made and installed. The staff was professional, compassionate, and easy to work with throughout the process. I grew up near Fairview and have been visiting since I was about ten years old. The grounds are beautiful, peaceful, and exceptionally well maintained. Fairview contains the graves of many of the families who shaped Westfield during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The cemetery includes a notable Civil War section, several historic monuments, and "Old One Horn," a Revolutionary War-era cannon displayed on the grounds. It is also the final resting place of several notable individuals, including Whitney Houston and Dr. Virginia Apgar, whose Apgar Score is still used worldwide to assess newborns. Whenever I return to the Westfield area, I make a point of stopping by to visit family members, friends, and the parents of friends who are buried here. It remains a beautiful and tranquil place that provides comfort while honoring the memories of loved ones.

I also found the burial spot of Doctor Virginia Apgar (1909-1974) who devised the Apgar score. The score is a very quick way for doctors to evaluate the health of newborns at 1 and 5 minutes after birth. The score is determined through the evaluation of the newborn in five criteria: activity (tone), pulse, grimace, appearance, and respiration. And if you missed it, that's a backronym of "APGAR." It is located in Section E, towards the northwest corner of the cemetery. Once those missions were accomplished, I was able to take some time to appreciate the rest of the cemetery. It is quiet, peaceful and in excellent condition. No damaged headstones, smooth roadways throughout and well mowed and trimmed grass. [Review 18318 overall - 151 in New Jersey - 1840 of 2022.]
