The prices my family and I paid were considerably less then the other Jewish funeral homes and his funeral home also donated to my shul in my mother's name, which he told me they normally do. I have since referred 4 friends to them (my mother passed 6 months ago), all of whom have been extremely pleased with the high quality and caring attitudes of Mr. Apter and his staff. I would highly recommend their funeral home to the Jewish community.

After calling four different funeral homes we decided to go with Galante Funeral Home in Caldwell. Not only were they reasonably priced, they were also kind and considerate to our needs. Within two days of her passing we had the most beautiful mass at St. Raphael's Church in Livingston, then to Gates of Heaven in East Hanover with a 40 car motorcade, where the Livingston Police Department helped us stay together at the Livingston circle. All this in ONE day of preparations, all this with Galante Funeral Home. Steve and staff are the Best!

My father's funeral was very complicated for many reasons and needed lots of coordination between NY and NJ and police depts, security people, special requests, etc etc. Trip Moriarty (Hugh Jr.) handled everything in the most professional way and went way beyond the call of duty for me and my family! He worked tirelessly and put in time even on the weekends to help plan and coordinate. This funeral was absolutely amazing and I couldn't have pulled it off without Trip and his father Hugh and of course, the entire staff. I felt like he was my family by the time it was over and I will be forever grateful. What a great family and company! I'd give 10 stars if I could.

Unfortunately recently we had to plan my cousins services right after Christmas so we contacted Caggianos again. They were again very helpful and kind...Then the most terrible situation happened, eight days after my cousin suddenly passed my sister also passed away suddenly and tragically. Not only was Michael and Pat and all the workers here so helpful, they offered us their unwavering support through this entire process. We ultimately decided to have all the services for both family members within a three day period. Michael and Pat were there for us from beginning to end. We couldn't have had more perfect people to help us during the worst time of our lives. It is impossible to explain my sincerest gratitude and appreciation for everything they did for us. They felt like family and they treated us that way. I've never felt so taken care of by people who we didn't know well before these tragedies. Our limo driver Joe was also so kind and helpful throughout the day. We were all in such a daze and had such a hard time getting through everything. Without their support and love I don't think we would have made it through the way that we did. I can't say enough good things about this funeral home and the people who work here. This review doesn't even do them justice. Thinking about how supportive they were beings tears to my eyes. I hope whoever is seeing this review decides to use Caggianos during their time of sorrow.

Everything went smoothly and beautifully. We got many compliments about how amazing the funeral was and what a great way to honor our father. It could not have been done without O'Boyle's. They made a very tough time much easier. Thank you.
