My mother and father lived in a retirement community near Oakmont, while my siblings and I are scattered in various places around the US. Mark, Melissa and Megan walked us through the required paperwork (including creating and publishing an obituary in the newspapers), coordinating with the church for a funeral religious service, and the cemetery for the internment. The visitation was well done prior to the church service, and a funeral procession afterwards to the cemetery was seamless. They even helped us by arranging for a military color guard for my father's (a US Air Force veteran) burial. My family is very grateful for their professional and compassionate service.

Over the course of a year and a half, I was involved in planning 3 separate family funerals - my…read moreuncle, my grandmother, and my great aunt. Mr. Harris (Bill) and his staff could not have been more professional, compassionate, or respectful of our family during our period of grief. Bill and his staff made everything run as smoothly as possible, patiently explaining all of the steps for the funeral and interment, walking the family through the major decision points, and outlining other things needed after someone passes that we wouldn't have thought of otherwise - like getting extra copies of the death certificates for life insurance, legal, and financial paperwork. For my grandmother's funeral, he helped coordinate a car service, which took a large amount of stress off of the family on an otherwise devastating day. Bill also offered a projector for us to share a photo slideshow I created, and they added music appropriate for the day. For my great aunt's funeral, the florist dropped the ball and delivered the arrangements to the wrong funeral home, but Bill and his staff did all of the calling and coordinating for us to ensure that new flowers arrived prior to the start of the visitation. It seemed like the whole staff tried to make things as easy as possible on the grieving family, which is appreciated in such a difficult time. The facility also offers a private area for the immediate family, which we needed when it became too emotional for us to speak with visiting guests. Finally, I feel that credit needs to be given to the preparation and dedication given to our dearly departed; Bill was able to present them in a way that honored our memories of each of them. Bill paid attention to small details and made sure personal affects for the viewing were returned to the family. As much as I'd like to never have to plan a funeral again, I know that if/when I do, Bill and his team will be there to offer comfort and support as they always do.

So never go here it's run by heartless money hungry people!!!!

They were caring, helpful and treated my family with respect and gave us welcome advise when we needed it. From start to finish, they patiently walked us through the process and helped us make the best choice for our family even arranging for a special viewing for the grandchildren to say goodbye to their beloved Papa . My mom did not want to split up my five siblings and wanted us all with her so they arranged for a stretch limo. The cemetery had issues with the actual grave site and they help navigate so that my mother and siblings were satisfied, we had a grave side service and they arranged for chairs for all of the older attendees and a tent. They even assisted with live streaming so that out of town guests could join us. My oldest brother had many many demands and required some extra attention and somehow Rose on the Schugar team was his personal aid and made him feel heard and got him what he needed quickly. We had one day to pull together a service, arrangements and shivas and they helped to get it all done. Thank you for helping us while we were at wits end during one of the worst times in our lives. I highly recommend.

Clearly by far it is the best. They offer funeral packages, graveside packages, or you can make up your own. The chapel is an adequate size for the ceremony. Judaism dictates no open viewing but rather 1 hour visitation before the service. Casket remains closed. Off to the side of the chapel is the mourner's room where family and friends may pay their respects to the deceased' next of kin during that visitation period. They provide you with information on how to find the various cemeteries and give you a small book of prayers, and a listing of the yearly Yahrzeits (Hebrew anniversary of date of passing) for the deceased. Their phone answers 24 hours round the clock so there is always someone available. They provide excellent service and compassion and understanding to the one in need. Another service they offer is a prearrangement which I lean towards. Often times in a period of loss a person is under much duress and as a result has a tendency to overspend. You can arrange an apt with a member of their staff and declare your intentions for your next of kin or for yourself. Around the time of the Jewish High Holidays in the fall they give out complimentary Jewish calendars. I have utilized their services in the past and have been here on a number of occasions. Out of respect for the chapel no photographs please.
