We visited the cemetery a number of times over the last few years because we were told by family…read moremembers that my wife's father, who is buried there also owned other burial plots in Greenwood Cemetery. On our previous visits we spoke with multiple staff members who indicated that because of the time that had passed they would have to research the issue and get back to us. It appears that due to staff turn over we were not provided with the requested information. In our attempts to settle the estate of the person who would be the owner of any burial plots if there were any, we again contacted the cemetery and this time we were spoke with Andrea Harvey who was very receptive to our need to resolve this matter. After checking the files she indicated that there were no other records indicating that he owned other burial sites at the cemetery, but she would continue to research the matter. A few days passed and we received a call that she had located additional information and there was in fact additional burial sites. I don't know how often this issue occurs and it is probably easier to just say, "that's what the records say", but Andrea went the extra mile and determined that our family members were in fact correct. She should be commended for her efforts to effectively resolve our long standing questions. David L.

My father passed in 2010, and his services were handled by Peppler Funeral Home in Bordentown, New…read moreJersey. The Peppler family took a very difficult time and made it as painless as possible. My Father was cremated, and through a strained familial relationship, I was under the impression his cremains were collected soon after by another family member. Many years later, I learned no one had collected his remains. Now in 2025, and being fairly certain it was a fruitless call, but desperately trying to correct for my great failure, I contacted Peppler to see if they could at least point me in the direction of where my fathers remains may have ultimately been placed. To my great shock and greater relief, his cremains were still in the possession of the home; 15 years later! Their kindness and dedication carried forward into coordinating the quick shipping of my Father's cremains to me in Florida where my family now lives. There aren't words that can truly describe my deep appreciation for the service Peppler Funeral Home of Bordentown provided to my family. They are incredible people doing a difficult job, with a level of compassion and integrity, rarely seen today. Thank you.

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 !! !!

My previous reviews of Chiacchio Southview (and other reviews I've written for other businesses)…read moreseem to have been detached from my account. Maybe my absence for some time did that. In any case, I've been to several funerals here and it's a great inner-city funeral home. The building has style and substance, and it just feels more personal than other homes I've been in. Most seem so sterile and bland, it feels like you're at a funeral. Here, it's still sad that you're saying goodbye, but it feels more personal. The staff is extremely accommodating and friendly. I don't know what else to say. It's been a good experience (as good as it can be considering it's a funeral) all around.

I am thankful. So very thankful." This took some time, part of that extended by the pandemic; some by distance. However, throughout this 9 month process, Larry never became impatient. He worked with me, answered my questions, and once we had a design selected he gave me updates due to supply chain issues. I highly recommend Larry and his extended team. They made a difficult process easier, and created joy and comfort with their work.

We were planning to meet with them a few days from when I called to do some advance preparations, and unfortunately things changed very quickly. Mr. Zimmer was outstanding, compassionate, and when you compliment that which his partner Mr. Barlow and their associates, you could not get more professional. We met the next day and they were outstanding. We were exhausted, distraught, and everything that I feared would be complicated was not and they really took the time to answer anything and all questions. Further, they were there for any other needs albeit referrals or support groups etc. They facilitated all of our needs and requirements and helped make it all look seamless from any religious requirements (which they were well versed on) to the ambiance of music, pictures, and other things that represented our father so well. Not one thing was unclear. Not one question unanswered. I trust them very much should we ever need anything in the future and you would be well served by dealing with them. Sorry it took a little while to write this, but they really deserve it.
