"The director, Phillip, took such special care with our loved one and made us feel secure in trusting them with the numerous details that were involved. His attention, professional opinion and responsiveness to our questions was greatly appreciated. In addition, his staff were equally as helpful and made the days of the service and burial a beautiful memory for my family and myself. Many who came to the services commented on how beautiful our loved one looked and that will always mean the world to me! Thank you so much for care you showed all of us and your work that day was seamless and meaningful."

"Joe, Phil and the staff made the services and arrangements seamless. They showed care of us and our deceased father during the entire experience. It ended up being a lovely two days even in sadness. We used Montclair-Lucania over 15 years ago for our mother & remembered them fondly when in came time for our dad. We would always recommend them."

"Phillip Hernandez, Anabel Bahena, Lizabeth AlvarengaSalgado and the rest of the team were very attentive to us from the beginning until the end of our experience. They followed up immediately with their commitments to us and were genuinely concerned about our grief and loss. They made me feel like everything was going to be done in the best way possible and they accomplished it. We got many compliments of how beautiful everything was done.

"I did not have enough space above, so I'm using this space to give recognition to the team that helped me plan our loved one's funeral care and services. Phillip Hernandez was incredibly kind and patient throughout the whole planning process, always ensuring that he was there to help me (and my family) plan the services for my father. He was very attentive and made himself available to answer any questions and/or concerns. Danuta (Donna) Janik was very pleasant and helpful during my interactions with her. Lizabeth Alvarenga was always courteous and gentle over the many phone calls that we made regarding any questions we had about planning and/or products."
