"Tracy Casella will forever be our guardian angel. Planning a funeral service from 3000 miles aways during Covid is a herculean task and Tracy made it feel personal, respectful, spiritual, comforting and healing. She helped us with every detail - choosing the appropriate casket, picking out the proper dress for our aunt, arranging for the rabbi and connecting us with a videographer who could record and zoom the service to family who would be unable to physically attend the service. Most of all she made our family feel secure that our aunt was treated with the utmost respect and dignity. I do not have words describe the depths of our gratitude and her outstanding professionalism and kindness."

"The death of a loved one can be indescribably painful. The unavoidable interactions with non-responsive, inattentive doctors, lawyers and administrators only add insult to injury. The comforting exception during this difficult period was Eric Anderson at Schwartz Bros. I never had to call Eric twice to reach him. He was consistently sympathetic, professional and reassuringly informed and competent. Everything he handled proceeded smoothly and as promised. 10 out of 10."

"The Funeral Manager, Doug Familia and Staff were professional, caring, courteous and helpful. Care was given to every detail which included providing the same Rabbi who officiated at our father's funeral and who we requested to be at mom's funeral, if he was still available. The staff made that possible for us. I am very satisfied with the services Schwartz Brothers-Jeffer Memorial provided us and would definitely use them again and refer them to family and friends."

"Schwartz Brothers dealt professionally and competently with my father's funeral. He passed away in Florida and needed to be transported to New York. Schwartz Brothers told me they would take care of everything, and they did. They contacted their Florida affiliate, helped me deal with the cemetery and, best of all, were available 24/7. Of course, no individual can work around the clock, but the way they kept our file and seamlessly coordinated among themselves left me feeling very confident about their team. I have already and will continue to recommend Schwartz Brothers to anyone needing their services. A real professional and caring company."

"Schwartz Brothers-Jeffer Memorial Chapels did a wonderful job assisting me through the emotional process of making last arrangements for my mother. Chastity helped me prearrange services. She listened carefully to my ideas, clearly outlined my options, assisted me with paperwork, followed through on everything that needed to be done prior to Mom's passing and what needed to be done when the time came. She made a difficult process easy. There was no pressure to do more and there were no surprises. Furthermore, she even called me a few weeks later when Mom passed while she was out on vacation to wish me condolences and let me know there was ongoing support available at no charge. That's what I call great service and care! Eric took over when the time came and he was equally great."

"Since this person's passing occurred during the Covid-19 situation, the funeral had to be very simple. There was only a small grave side service. None-the-less, Eric Anderson walked me through the entire process from getting the religious person who would preside over a Jewish funeral, to making suggestions, working with me to make the purchase of casket and monument an easy process, and much more. The selections for casket and monument were excellent and quite nice, and Eric worked to reduce the prices to make it easier and more cost effective to purchase these items. I was looking to purchase these items elsewhere on line, which would have complicated the situation, but Eric made the prices competitive for these items with everything I saw on line, thus making the whole process much easier. I had never prepared a funeral for someone before, but Schwartz Brothers, Jeffers Chapel and, especially, Eric Anderson made this a very painless experience at a time when all who knew the deceased were under a great deal of stress. Thank you."

"Joel Simon's service was above and beyond outstanding. In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, my mother died in San Diego and needed to be buried in NY. Joel and his team essentially held my hand throughout the process of working on transporting Mom's body from San Diego to NY, including personally meeting her body at JFK, preparing it for burial and attending and organizing the gravesite funeral service, all in accordance with Jewish law. Joel also kept in touch with me throughout the process."
