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 !! !!

All costs were clear ahead of time, he showed what all the options were and was supportive of all my choices and decisions. There was never any pressure to upgrade or include anything that I didn't want. He did provide excellent suggestions on how to make the events as meaningful and memorable as possible.

It's important to take the time to acknowledge the uniqueness of the deceased: the individuality of their personality, and the uniqueness of their life's path.
