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.

I came across Inpeace. The care of the team and also the flexibility made them the ultimate choice that I ended up going with. They have a quick turn around time to have your loved one cremated rather than waiting weeks to get your loved one the rest that they truly need. They were also very flexible with the payment method specially when you need to get the process moving. Any questions I had was answered with confidence or if they did not know, they would look for the answer and get back to me as soon as they were able. If you are going through what I am going through, I highly recommend Inpeace as the premier cremation service without any doubt.

I rarely write reviews, but my experience with Plinton Curry Funeral Home was deeply disappointing…read moreand upsetting that I felt compelled to share. I wouldn't recommend this funeral home based on my family's recent experience. It felt more like a business transaction than a place meant to handle a loved one's final arrangements with love. From the start, they were difficult to reach, reluctant to provide a price list, and overall, the process felt more like a money grab than a service rooted in care. Getting a clear, itemized price list. felt like pulling teeth, despite the FTC's Funeral Rule requiring funeral homes to provide it upon request it was a violation of basic transparency and consumer rights. When I questioned the $12,128 cremation quote with a $6,000 discount due to a family connection to my uncle. Every conversation seemed to circle back to cost, not compassion. Ron Curry set up a Zoom meeting with my family that was supposed to start at 4pm, we waited over 2 hours for him to join, and he never did. After reaching out several times we were told that he was with another family and rescheduled for 8pm.Even then he never joined the Zoom but via his cell phone, when asked if he was going to join the ZOOM he replied, "do you need to see me". They have two locations listed but when I requested the Westfield location I was told that location is only to prepare not for reviewing. Mr. Curry condescendingly called me "sweetheart" .....letting me know they are very expensive and cost more than other funeral homes in the Newark area (he did mention names, but I won't) that was completely unprofessional and disrespectful during such a vulnerable time. We were left with unanswered questions and some aspects--like how her body was presented--left us deeply disappointed. After sending several more pictures Ron did do some touch-ups to make my aunt look more like her pictures and we were pleased. Stephanie referred to my loved one as "the remains" before changing it to the body never by name, and never with the respect she deserved. It was upsetting and dehumanizing. The compassion I expected simply wasn't there. My aunt service was scheduled for May 14th, 2025, during the meeting I asked what day she would be cremated and could the family attend....I was informed by Stephanie to attend the cremation would cost $150 per person. I asked what's included with that price because I have attended a few cremation services and NEVER recall paying a fee to attend. Rahim was the only person who showed genuine kindness and professionalism he was the saving grace in an otherwise troubling experience. He went beyond the call of duty by offering to pick up or drop off things to make it easier for the family instead of traveling all the way to the Somerset office. My Aunt's service was May 14,2025 it wasn't until we called to inquired if she had been cremated just so happen, she was cremated on that day. Due to the office only being open from 9am -2pm Monday-Friday and only open on Saturdays if they have a service NOT 24 hours like they advertise I requested; they mail me my aunt's ashes. They used The United States Postal Service Grief is hard enough. Families shouldn't have to feel like they're being taken advantage of in the middle of it. Families deserve better during moments of grief. I sincerely hope this business reflects on how they treat people during such sensitive times. My aunt deserved dignity and respect, but instead, the process felt rushed and impersonal. RUN DON'T WALK!!!!!!

We met with Ryan several times and he was very clear in his communications, and very compassionate. The evening of the wake and the funeral morning were staffed by Mary and Laura and another Dooley associate, and they were all wonderful to us. They helped us disseminate some of the flowers, which was a worry for me. I really appreciated the care and concern. The renovations to Dooley Colonial are very beautiful. We loved having the lounge room to take a little break and have a snack. No one will take better care of you than Dooley!

Your kindness and total attention to detail was so appreciated by my 3 Siblings & I over this past weeked. Laura took care of everything perfectly and even had a spare Titleist Golf Ball we could have out of her own golf bag, when we all realized that we had brought a Calloway ball and our Dad, Paul Aloia, would never have golfed with that brand! Talk about "Customer Service"! Everything went Beautifully. The renovations they have done have really made the area so comfortable and enhance the feeling of being in your own home and your own kitchen, providing sandwiches & soft drinks to family and friends. Thank you from the Bottom of our Hearts for your special care of our Dad. We feel you now have a forever friend in the four of us!

St. Mary's Cemetery is associated with St. Mary's-Stony Hill Roman Catholic Church in Plainfield,…read moreNJ. The cemetery has been around for over a century. There are still indelible tombstones with dates back to the 1860s with names and dates very clear. Back in the 1800s there were a few epidemics that killed entire families and you can see how they all rest together. Even though it is close to Rt. 78, the grounds are very quiet and serene. There are woods on three sides. Trees and bushes have been planted throughout. The Church has bought all of the land on the one side of it and future plans call for expansion. There are two mausoleums that are fairly new, the most recent I think was completed in 2002. All of the grave sites and crypts are paid for in perpetuity, meaning that the money will be used for forever taking care and maintenance of the grounds and graves. The grounds are well kept and the times I have been there if there is someone cutting the grass or doing maintenance while you visit, they will stop what they are doing out of respect. That is really, really nice. You need to be a parishioner of St. Mary's or know someone/have a relative to "get in" here. Location can be tricky: Exit 41 off of 78 East. Make the right onto Drift Rd. off of the exit. At the light, make the left onto Plainfield Rd. then the cemetery entrance will quickly be on your left. It is an unassuming entrance.
