My father passed away on August 11, 2015. This was a tough time for my family, and we chose Central…read morebecause of a Korean funeral director on the staff, Ms. Gina Chong , that can communicate more clearly with my mother.After arrangements for the wake,cremation, funeral services were made, $9000 was given promptly to Central, including $1700 for a casket that was going to be reused by them anyway( I learned this from a crematory worker) After the funeral , my mother requested a copy of the death certificate . She assumed it was included in the bill. Ms Chong told her it wasn't but my mother paid her $100 to get one made. A month later, no death certificate copy was made. We called, but no return calls were made. My mother wished to visit the location where my father's ashes. So she called Ms Chong. She simply stopped picking up and started to block her calls. My mother has hypertension and was very stressed by this. I was just seething at the total indifference of Ms Chong. Finally Ms. Chong told her , " I don't know." It is New Jersey law for funeral homes to have an official document that indicates the location, time date, name of vessel, etc. if the remains are buried at sea. I called in a very influential friend for a favor to get this resolved. Almost instantly, Ms Chong produced the death certificate, the burial at sea documents, and an apology. The thing that angers me the most is that Ms Chong had the things we wanted ( and paid for) ready. She kept this from us either out of flippancy,laziness,or callousness. Not what you want from a funeral director. Her completely lack of empathy borders on sociopathy . The old adage about crooked businesses : they stop caring after the money clears. Yes, apparently includes this funeral home. FYI, my original review, was expletive laden, but I'm choosing the high road. Dad would have preferred it that way.

Beautiful, modern, tastefully decorated facility inside. Ample parking for guests. Funeral Director Gina, thank you so much for holding my hand through this process.

I can attest that what the McCorry family says on their website is true -- they are the most…read morecompassionate, accommodating, and genuinely elegant family in this business that I have ever met. I've been to many funerals and, unfortunately, have had to arrange several myself. The McCorrys are everything they claim to be and more: kind, tactful, fair, and deeply understanding. They went above and beyond to help me make everything beautiful yet affordable, at a time when I was already devastated and struggling financially after losing my mom unexpectedly, at a time I had no work, during COVID. They worked with her burial benefits whereas the place mom had always wanted to be attended to (like many Cuban American from Union City) refused. Their compassion was not just professional -- it was human. In an industry where that can feel rare, the McCorrys stand out as extraordinary. I will never forget their kindness and will never go anywhere else. And I'm sure Mom would agree!

I talked with many different funeral directors and the area and we're glad we decided to go with the Pizzis. Michael fully supported us in carrying out my father's wishes: no embalming, a closed casket Catholic funeral mass, and our family accompanying him to the cremation. He patiently answered our questions throughout the process, and showed up with things we needed but hadn't prepared - a cross for the casket, a sign in guestbook for the memorial, a grave marker for his burial site. I also felt better knowing that my dad would stay at the Pizzi's funeral home in Northvale until the mass and cremation, rather than being sent to other facilities or funeral homes. We felt cared for and supported by the Pizzis throughout this process.

One of these amazing individuals is Mark D who coordinated the most beautiful funeral service for my best friend and sister.
