The cremation process was seamless from beginning to end having a great price point for the services received with cost saving suggestions provided by Mr. Giffone. Cremation Consultants accepted the burden of caring for the deceased as though they were their own family members by obtaining and handling ALL required permits for his cremation. It was perfectly coordinated regarding his pick-up from the nursing home to the crematory. Additionally, there was an overnight mailing of the death certificate(s) delivered to his son's residence. Finally, within five ( 5 ) days of his pick-up from the nursing home, his ashes were personally delivered to the family's residence. In life, one would hope to have caring, smooth, and thoughtful experiences as they occurred during interactions via telephone with Cremation Consultants. These were six ( 6 ) STAR memories of a lifetime to know a deceased family member was treated with dignity, respect, and love exactly the same way he lived with all of his family members!

As an only child my mother's passing in the hospital took me by surprise and I was suddenly hit…read morewith having to plan a service and burial for the first time in my life. One of my dear friends recommended Funeral Director, Jacqueline Sherman, who she worked with on multiple burials of her family members. Great referrals are priceless when you are going through emotional trauma and shock so you don't have to be shopping around with strangers while grieving. I didn't feel comfortable with the list the hospital gave me after I identified her body. I didn't even know how to shop for funeral services and what to look for so I was in for a crash course. I got a ton of advice from friends and relatives, and had to make decisions quickly to notify the hospital. I had several referrals to funeral homes but realized I hit the jackpot on meeting an outstanding professional and funeral director in Jacqueline Sherman. My friend went with me to meet with Ms. Sherman in her office and after that meeting there was no need to look further. As a business person I can spot a rockstar in her profession from a mile away. Ms. Sherman conveyed sincere warmth and care as I asked questions to understand the process and all the options to consider when burying a loved one. I didn't feel rushed and she patiently explained all the options available. I was also learning what a Funeral Director does before, during and after the burial process. They're a key person not only for planning the funeral service or cremation, but also for dealing with other institutions and government agencies. Ms. Sherman blew me away when she showed the extra care she puts into dressing the deceased and staging the service to give them a proper sendoff. She was also attentive to our family's needs regarding who was best to conduct the service and all the details for the service and the paperwork needed after the service. Her network of service providers was priceless for us. She always responded promptly or delegated the response if busy helping another client so I appreciated that. After my mother's funeral service, Ms. Sherman was kind enough to hold my hand through the final goodbye before my mother's body went off to the crematorium. I really appreciated her prayers and gentle care in getting me through that day. Ms. Sherman still responded promptly several months later when I needed other city paperwork for my mother's cremains to travel. What I love about her is that she is the consummate professional from A-Z in all her communications. Her colleagues were also quite supportive and helpful. Now that I know what a funeral director actually does, I highly recommend using the services of Jacqueline Sherman at Frank R. Bell Funeral Home. She is worth waiting for when you see how she presents the process and the services she and her colleagues can offer to meet your needs. Most importantly, when you see her creative skills as a funeral director who is a master at her craft, with many years of experience, you won't want to look any further! I had to wait several months to write this review and for things to settle down after my mother's passing. As a discerning business person, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you use the services of Jacqueline Sherman if you are looking for a Funeral Director in the New York Tri-state area. Don't hesitate to do that first intake meeting with her. You'll be glad you did!
