"My sister, the deceased, made all of her own funeral arrangements many years ago. We did not have any contracts in our possession when she passed away and we were 2000 miles away. Menorah Gardens was able to locate the arrangements that she had made so long ago and provided the best possible funeral without us being there. Thanks to them and a special thanks to Steve Cheyney"

"During such a difficult time of losing a parent and seeing my mother lose her husband of almost 77 years, our funeral director, Josette, was instrumental in helping the process proceed smoothly with exceptional compassion. In this challenging time of Covid we were able to have a wonderful service for my father of 96+ years including the Naval Military honors with live Taps and flag presented to my Mother. We were able for all the children as well as some grand children attend the funeral service in a timely fashion."

"Steve went above and beyond throughout the process. He called me less than 2 hours after my mom passed to make sure we knew that she was being taken care of. Throughout the whole process Steve and his staff were there for us. They paid attention to every detail about my mom and they were even kind enough to check on my family before, during and after the memorial service. They made the process as easy as possible and alleviated so much stress from my sister and I during such a stressful and traumatic time. My family and I appreciate all kindness and support we have received from Steve and the staff at Menorah Gardens."

"Steve Cheyney and his team helped us throughout the entire process, when the time my dad passed away, until the Funeral Service was over. Steve then followed up multiple times to make sure we were okay and told me do not hesitate to call should myself, brother or sister have any questions or concerns. Due to Covid we had to do everything on Zoom and it worked out perfectly. Of course we all would have loved to be present, but that was impossible due to the ongoing Pandemic. I know that I keep mentioning his name, but Steve made us feel at ease during this difficult time, and we appreciated it very much."

"During this time of the Corvid virus, I was not able to leave New York for Florida to attend to my sister's funeral arrangements. Everything was handled by phone, text, mail and/or internet. Everyone was very helpful. Everyone returned my calls. I felt that my sister was in the best of hands. When I come down to Florida to have a service, I want to meet Josette, Laurie and Debbie, who provided exceptional and caring service."

"During our time of sorrow and need, the Furneral Director, Steven Cheyney and his staff went above and beyond especially during a time of the Coronavirus. My father a vet, Steven made sure we had a Navy honor guard with a bugler. We needed to Zoom the service and personally made sure we were able too. Had alot of family including my daughter and brother couldn't come down due to the fear of the virus. Spent 2 hours explaining how different the furneral would be conducted and he did that with my brother, who lives in Ct. at the same time. Patience, so much patience he has. I commend him and will let others who are in need to them"

"The most valuable aspect was that Steve Cheyney, the funeral director, really went out of his way to make sure all our needs were met. He went beyond our expectations. Because of Covid restrictions, we zoomed into the cremation ceremony. During the zoom call, we had our Hindu priest also zoom in. And we delivered all our special trinkets for the ceremony to Steve beforehand. Steve and his assistant did the entire cremation religious service on our behalf! They carefully did everything the priest asked them to do. Took a total of about 2 hours and Steve did it perfect every step of the way. Could not ask for more. My family and I are extremely thankful to Steve and his assistant Brooke Steinfeld."
