"Our family had an excellent experience with Alleva. The attention and services we received were both thorough (for example, navigating the logistics of the death certificates and obtaining copies for managing personal affairs) and personalized to our preferences. We felt cared for and confident that our family member was treated with dignity and respect throughout the entire process. I could not speak more highly of Alex-Michael and the way in which he helped us navigate the process."

"I was very pleased with my husband's arrangements provided by Alleva Funeral Home. I was a little nervous that day but Stephen and his staff made sure that everything went smoothly and it did. They were right there all the time asking me if I needed anything. Very attentive. A very nice gentleman met me at the back entrance and carried everything I had for my husband's cremation. We did not have to do anything. When the service was finished the team packed up my car with the flowers and belongings. This funeral home is excellent."

"Alex-Michael and his team were excellent. My dad passed away at home during the corona virus pandemic, when they arrived they were respectful and very professional. They respected our families wishes. After my father was taken to the funeral home, Alex - Michael sat with our family at the kitchen table and went over everything in a peaceful, calm and caring way. All our questions were answered. Nothing seemed forced. Alex-Michael extended himself to help is in any way needed, including an offer to deliver my dad's ashes back home."

"Excellent service from staff and FD. Made a very difficult time much easier. Questions were answered thoroughly and in a timely manner. Options were provided to help ease the challenges caused by the current pandemic, and the staff and Steve Alleva (FD) were most helpful and professional. This is never an easy thing to have to deal with, made even more difficult by the pandemic. Steve and his staff did a remarkable job of keeping us informed and offering solutions and ideas to make things work. I recommend highly recommend them to anyone experiencing the loss of a loved one at this or any other time."

"The moment our family called Alleva's and they arrived at our home for the deceased the team was professional, patient and very sensitive to our loss. The initial meeting at Alleva's was stress free and efficient. Alleva's team is beyond professional, courteous, knowledgeable and was sensitive to our needs. Phone calls/emails were handled promptly and all of our needs were considered and met. At the Church and internment the team anticipated any questions we were thinking prior to having to even ask. At a devastating time of loss the planning of a funeral waived heavy on our family though contacting Alleva's truly allowed us to mourn while their team handled all aspects of the funeral. Our family extends out thanks to Alleva's."

"What is the worst thing that can possibly happen to a loved one? They pass. Grief is a feeling like no other and it is so comforting to know that there are Funeral Directors like Terry Donohue out there who are there to support you through dark times like these. After my Dad's passing, he was transported to Alleva Funeral Home expeditiously. Terry was always easy to get a hold of and communicated each step of the process clearly and effectively. He even accommodated my last minute request to view my Dad's body (initially I wasn't sure if I would be strong enough to) prior to his cremation. Terry took care of my Mom and I - and my Dad - and was compassionate and kind. He helped my Dad have an ending with dignity. I don't know that you can ask for much else."
