Following my mother's recent passing, we once again turned to John Zaleski and his wonderful staff. My mother had passed away at home, and from the moment John and his colleague arrived to receive her, they were incredibly caring and sympathetic, giving us immediate peace of mind. During the arrangement process, John was knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and made us feel comfortable right away. He also created a wonderful video of family photos for the wake, which gave our friends and family a sweet visit to the past. I want to extend a huge thank you to John, Millie, and staff, and to Sue for her exceptional attention to detail. The funeral home itself has such a warm and peaceful energy, and there is always someone available to answer questions or provide assistance. From the planing to the burial, the entire staff provided the utmost care for our family. I would highly recommend Wakelee Memorial. They provide the caring assistance needed during such a difficult time.

His attention to detail, his warm and considerate manner and his easy going way make the difficulty associated with saying goodbye to a loved one, so much easier. We buried my father 3 years ago and my mother yesterday. As usual we could count on John in every way. He is wonderful. I read the one negative review as I went into this site to send him well deserved accolades. It's nonsense if you ask me. I know Mr. Iacobucci as a professional and he is excellent. If this site had 10 stars he would get them all. Thank you again John

They handled everything, seamlessly. Let me tell you, dealing with the VA and Arlington National Cemetery is no easy matter.

I'm not easy to please and I don't give 5 Stars cavalierly.

Given we wanted to have a service within 24 hours, which in our case landed on a Sunday, we ran into challenges but Jr. was able to find creative solutions and accommodate all our requests and needs. The team handled our situation as if it were their own family, and for situations like this, I think that's exactly what you want from a Funeral Home. I highly recommend Jr. and the rest of the team if you're in the search for a Funeral Home that cares about your specific situation and unique needs. Thank you Jr., Adrian and Bethany for all your support throughout the process and handling my family's situation as if it were your own.

One would think with all that time there would be plenty of time to comply with arrangements that were made. Sadly that was not the case. Despite providing information there was neither a newspaper or online obituary as requested. Further, the prayer cards selected were not ready in time for funeral and when provided several days after listed incorrect birthdate. At services personnel had to be called from outer church hall to retrieve casket as they were nowhere in sight. Even the death certificate sent to attorney had incorrect birthdate.

And the fact that I am the only child of my father seems to mean nothing. Can't imagine how his graveside manner is any better. Must be easy to have crappy customer service when all your clients are dead... EDIT: They have now threatened me with a lawsuit for posting this review. BEWARE OF USING THIS COMPANY. Amazing that the company is now posting here, talking about family dynamics to which they have no actual knowledge. Further, leaving my name off of the paperwork, is likely a felony, as the documents are related to probate court. P.S. to Meoba (who posted a five star review even though they work for the company)...the person I spoke with on the phone, told me their name was Abraham. I have it recorded. Thank you for confirming to me that your company did not even have the courtesy of being honest about who I was speaking with on the phone. 2ND EDIT: Since Meoba from Abraham Green & Sons is threatening to shame me by releasing the email that I sent to my cousin in 2010, I'll just post that message here. Shame me? Abraham Green Funeral Home attempts to SHAME customers into taking down negative reviews? MY GOODNESS DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Here's the 2010 email they are threatening me with: Cheryl - Yes, I'm aware that Judaism frowns upon cremation. However, there isn't anything in the law that explains what to do if one doesn't have the means, in this modern age, to pony up the absurd $7k price tag. Honestly, if you think a proper Jewish burial is the way to do this, then I suggest you contact whatever synagogue would be proper/open to listening, and explain the situation and see if they have a fund for such a scenario or congregants who are willing to donate the money. Otherwise, I see no happenstance that will allow for that kind of expenditure. Thanks, Marc THIRD EDIT: The company took down their "review" that revealed my personal information. Thankfully, I took a screen capture so I can show just how rude and unprofessional they were. See the image attached...
