Laura Tirado helped us immensely with all our questions and needs and the respect, courtesy and assistance was above excellent. Funeral home is extremely clean and quaint enough for a small and quiet viewing or a large and social one like the one we had for my father. I do recommend the third room if you are expecting a lot of people. By far, great experience and service from the first call with Ana the receptionist to all the details the day of the viewing and on the day of the funeral. Highly recommend without hesitation!

This week marks the thirtieth anniversary of my mother's passing. So for the last thirty years…read moreevery time I look down to my mother's grave I see the custom headstone that the Gateway Monument Company created for our family to commemorate our mother's life. I will always remember the care, patience and understanding I received from the staff at Gateway. It is a difficult time to make decisions when grieving the loss of a loved one. They helped us get through it, and produced a fitting memorial for our mother - something the funeral home could not provide from their stock options. Thank you for being part of the positives that came out of a heart breaking life event.

There has to be no more difficult professions than those dealing with human emotions. The funeral…read moreand monument business must be amongst the toughest. I can tell you from too much experience that Gateway Monuments, and its principal owner, Mr. James Kamercia, are indeed the best in the business. They care so much to get the job right, they certainly do "cross their T's and dot their I's". Not long ago I lost my Grandmother, my father-in-law and my Dad, all within a 9 month period. Mr. Kamercia worked with my family and me to design, engrave and install my Grandmothers marker, consulted us on the dealings we had with the company designated to engrave at a mausoleum for my Father, and researched and suggested casket and urn choices for my father-in-law's arrangements. The wealth of knowledge that this individual provides (I believe that he has taught mortuary science at The University of Miami and has worked in many aspects of the funeral services business) is emotionally invaluable and financially quite fair. This guy Kamercia is the best of the best, the go to guy if you ever need to know anything about the funeral business or need a true work of art in a memorial......but personally, I hope not to need to order another monument again..........As I said, its a tough business. However, my family knows who to call when my time is up.

I searched several companies before choosing this one to assist with my father's burial service…read more The location was good being that it is across the street from a restaurant. Everything went fine up until cremation. My husband and I arrived around 7:45 AM to ID the body. My mother chose a photo urn from the company. I told Tony that morning that I purchased something to hold some ashes also, and I wanted them to put a small amount aside for me. I told him to write it down so it would be done. He said he would tell the person doing the cremation. Today I was told his name is Lazaro. This past Saturday my mother went to pick up the ashes and she was only given the photo urn. My request for ashes for my necklace was not completed. I am deeply saddened by this issue because I thought I was going to have a piece of him to keep with me forever. My dad died in a span of five days. So far the only solution offered was bringing my mom's urn back. They mentioned it wasn't written in the contract. I bought the necklace after I decided to use the company. Also whether I bought the necklace before or after is irrelevant as the cremation had not taken place yet. I even inquired about a necklace purchase from Maspons. Maybe my request was not completed because I didn't buy it from them. Again, I asked Tony to notate it at 7:45 AM. How is the family supposed to move forward by making me come back to the funeral home and dealing with an past hurdle? I am a teacher and finally decided to come back to work because I thought I was past the next difficult thing and could remain composed for my students. Apparently not, because although my father died on October 11th, still is still no peace, not even for him. This is unacceptable.

I contacted the funeral home from MA as I had to rush and make funeral preparations, He described the price plans to me with no pressure and agreed to exactly what my family wanted, at no time did try to upsell us or anything like that. When my dad passed soon after Eric was extremely helpful over the phone and rushed to pick my dad up. Once I arrived in Fla we met in person in person and signed the documents and he very kindly explained the complex Fla process for a cremation. Everything went well and once he had all the legal clearances he kept me informed. Very kind regarding payment, he did not reuire payment until all the legal clearances were in place, so he put no pressure on my faily at all. Everything happened exactly as he told me from day one. I was treated with kindness, professionalism and compassion. They were not the cheapest around, but as a friend told me 'lo barato sale caro'. They were worth every penny.
