The prices my family and I paid were considerably less then the other Jewish funeral homes and his funeral home also donated to my shul in my mother's name, which he told me they normally do. I have since referred 4 friends to them (my mother passed 6 months ago), all of whom have been extremely pleased with the high quality and caring attitudes of Mr. Apter and his staff.

My father's funeral was very complicated for many reasons and needed lots of coordination between NY and NJ and police depts, security people, special requests, etc etc. Trip Moriarty (Hugh Jr.) handled everything in the most professional way and went way beyond the call of duty for me and my family! He worked tirelessly and put in time even on the weekends to help plan and coordinate. This funeral was absolutely amazing and I couldn't have pulled it off without Trip and his father Hugh and of course, the entire staff.
