"Unfortunately, I had the unpleasant task of needing to obtain a pre plan funeral for my dad. I was fortunate to talk with Eileen from IJ Morris who was very courteous and helpful. We spoke many times and she guided me with her expertise. I am very grateful and would recommend anyone needing to plan for a funeral to talk to Eileen. Thank you!"

"Planning a funeral is hard enough and during a pandemic, even worse. The staff at I.J Morris were on top of it and made it a lot easier. The Rabbi was able to perform the ceremony over the phone and made me feel as if I was there with him. Many Thanks to them all."
