I had the unfortunate experience of losing both parents 3 weeks apart about 3 years ago. My sister…read moreand I used this funeral home for the second funeral after having a bad experience with another funeral home for the first. Paul Sheridan showed a lot of compassion, guided us through the myriad choices, and then took on as much of the detail work as he could. At one point, he showed a lot of integrity by pointing out a mistake I was about to make. Eventually he convinced me. He turned out to be right. I appreciate now that he didn't follow the maxim that "the customer is always right". Grief does funny things to your head and he knew it. Months after the ceremony we brought my parents' ashes to the Veterans Cemetary. Paul insisted on handling the arrangements and stayed through the entire ceremony. We appreciate that he and his staff made a horrible time much easier to bear. (I realize that it took 3 years to write this review, but I'm finally able to do so without the memories coming back.)

Our family met with Mark M. and he answered all of our questions, guided our families in what was available, was flexible in our personal requests, and helped us plan my father's arrangements with dignity and grace. While arrangements needed to be finalized in a timely manner, we felt led - but not rushed, to make final decisions. He was patient, kind, respectful, and compassionate. Despite COVID restrictions, he and his entire team still managed to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for my father's last service. We are so appreciative for the kindness bestowed on our family during this difficult time. Although the rating of "great" isn't quite the correct word for this type of review, it truly was an experience that we will look at with utmost appreciation for all the care they showed to me and my family during our very difficult time.

Very crowded cemetery. Yeah, they're dying to get in here. Okay, now that that is passed…read more Lincoln Park is the main Jewish cemetery for Providence. It was the Jewish organization established in 1906 by Chesed Shel Emes. It is also known as Rhode Island Historical Cemetery Warwick #11. As I said, crowded but there is enough room to drive through. Most of the roadways are smooth though there is only enough space for one vehicle in each direction. The cemetery is the final resting place for jazz musician Lew Sherwood (1903-1971). was the featured vocalist with Eddy Duchin & His Orchestra during the band's greatest years, from 1933 to 1941, and was the band's primary trumpet soloist and one of its musical arrangers. Check out https://youtu.be/vXn1Wy13RxI. One feature near the entrance is an extensive area for Jewish war veterans. There is a large polished granite Memorial wall and annual Memorial Day ceremony is held here at which the names of those Veterans who died during the prior year are unveiled.

A very crowded…read moreneighborhood Lincoln Park is a Hebrew cemetery that is still open for new arrivals. The first thing that struck me was how crowded certain areas were. I've seen very old graveyards where the gravestones were placed close together but I don't ever think I've seen one quite this packed. Since I haven't been to many Hebrew Cemeteries I don't know if this is a common practice or unique to this particular graveyard. Others areas were very open which made quite a contrast. The cemetery is lovely and has some unique and very beautiful memorials. Lots of stones that were carved to resemble tree stumps and some very oddly shaped gravestones. The Hebrew practice of placing small stones on the gravesites out of respect was also very prevalent and added a very poignant and personal touch to this beautiful cemetery. A truly wonderful and fascinating cemetery that is a very lovely and reflective reminder of those that have lived before us and have now moved on.
