"On the other hand, Sharon Memorial Park should be ashamed of themselves on many levels. They called me three hours before the funeral to tell me they couldn't bury my dad unless i paid a bill that i was not aware of. If I had the money to move my folks to another cemetery i would."

"Levine's Funeral Home was sensitive to the family's pain and suffering at our time of loss. They always were. I could not have asked for a more professional, caring staff at the most difficult time in one's life. They helped make the 'unbearable, bearable'. With sincere appreciation, Beverly G. Bavly"

"There were lots of questions that needed answers. I would have liked to have been given a checklist rather than lots of phone calls. The price list made no sense to me and seemed very random. We were not warned about extra expenses for weekend vault delivery."

"As a relative out of state, dealing with a very unexpected death, I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Levine Chapls, and to have had Tony supporting me and my family during this time. He was absolutely lovely - kind, understanding, incredibly helpful, incredibly calming, and went out of his way to check in on my mother and I, on a personal level, before and after the service. He assisted in being able to retrieve my brother's body, provided services that I know were important to my mother even though we weren't able to be there, arranged transportation of my brother to New York, coordinated with the local monument service, and even organized a local rabbi for us, who was wonderful. Everyone else we spoke to was incredibly professional and responsive. I honestly cannot even imagine what the process would have been like without Tony and Levine. Our deepest thanks to him and the staff for helping to carry us through this event with grace and generosity."

"Tony Massaroni and the staff at Levine Chapels, are simply the best. Tony was crucial in helping me get through the intolerable task of making funeral arrangements for my father. The advice Tony provided before my father passed was nothing shy of compassionate and caring, and when my father did pass, the entire process was smooth and seamless right through the funeral, taking a tremendous burden off of my shoulders during our families time of grief and devastating loss. Tony, Julie Berger and Marta all treated me and my entire family as though we were part of their family. They responded quickly to all my phone calls and emails and always answered all my questions. Their level of service was second to none, a rare find currently, made even more challenging with COVID-19. We are so thankful for their compassionate care and professionalism and truly feel that Tony, Julie and Marta all deserve 10 stars! Words simply cannot express how thankful I am for everything they did, from Tony picking up my dad and comforting my mother while at their home, to Marta consoling us while at the Chapel, to Julie seeing that the funeral went off flawlessly. Tony and his colleagues Julie and Marta were with us every step of the way providing unmatched support and comfort. They absolutely earned and deserve every 10 I gave them!"

"I had not arranged a funeral since 2004, also through Levines, but under its previous ownership. That one was handled well, but this one was handled even better. My director, Julie Berger, took care of EVERYTHING, while being totally supportive and comforting. I had to transfer my brother's body from NY--they did that instantly, no hassle for me, and at a very reasonable cost. Because Levine's is now part of a group, they were able to connect directly with the funeral director here in NY, which greatly eased the interstate process. No funeral is pleasant, but everyone should be as lucky with theirs as I was with this one."

"There are no words that can express how thankful I am to Tony and his team for getting my dad from Manhattan during the height of the Covid 19 pandemic to his final resting place with his parents and sister in Massachucettes.Tony was the kindest person I have ever dealt with as a consumer. He made miracles happen! My mom was so happy she cried tears of pure relief that my dad was able to be taken care of like he was the most important person in the world. He was to us, but he was treated like it by Tony and Levine Funeral Home. Please feel free to ask Tony for my contact information if you would like to hear my accolades directly from me. Thank you Tony, you were truly the answer to my prayers."

"At a time when the rules for funerals were changing daily, the professionals at Levine Chapels arranged my uncle's funeral from hospital pickup to a cemetery in another state, with no confusion, and no disasters. Our director made sure that everything was planned, and nothing went wrong. That is unusual in normal times, unheard of in quarantine times."

"The minute we called Levine and spoke to Tony M., we knew we were in good hands. Our father passed away March 1. He had been in contact with Tony over the years about his wishes for burial. Tony made sure everything was followed just the way Dad wanted. Tony helped us every step of the way!! We never had to worry that something was going wrong. He advised us with the most caring and compassionate guidance which made the entire experience bearable. We didn't have anyone to lead the service, but Tony found us Rabbi Joel Baron who was wonderful in every possible way. He spent two hours with us talking about Dad and he captured his spirit and gave a beautiful eulogy. Dad died at 102 and led a very good life. We are incredibly grateful to Tony, Levine Chapel and Rabbi Joel for making the service and burial so special and heartfelt."

"My family was better prepared than most to lose a loved one. I can't imagine how hard it could have been for others. One thing we knew we wouldn't have to worry about was the work done by David and the staff of Levines. I''m very relieved now that everything is finished. It could have been much more stressful. The next time we have a death in the family I know we won't have to worry about the arrangements."

"The team anticipated everything that needed to be done or given attention. The team performed beyond my expectations - not that I really had any other than expecting this to be just horrible in so many ways. Levine did their job flawlessly, tastefully, professionally and with compassion. My extended family has used Levine for generations so it was not a question about who to call when my father passed away. It was, however, my first time as the family member on point for funeral arrangements. If every organization performed their roles and responsibilities like Levine did for me, the world would be a much better place. Horrible circumstance, but I cannot imagine any organization guiding a family through it better than Levine."
