"Covid created changes in plans for which my mother had pre-paid. They went over the original contract with me and they were able to save me close to $1000."

"I really relied on your staff immediately after my father's death. Your staff offered advice when I didn't even know what questions to ask and that was perfect. It became clear to me that I didn't have to worry about a lot of details because you all had them covered. I was and remain incredibly grateful for that. I knew that regardless of how flustered and disconnected I felt that everything would be all right because your staff really knew what they were doing and cared about having everything be just right."

"The Jewish community in St Louis is lucky to have such a deservedly renowned family business providing top notch, compassionate services at among the most difficult times. Berger is trusted for a reason - they give the utmost care to those who have passed but, more importantly, to those who remain."

"Richard Stein and staff were extremely professional during a very stressful time for our family. It was more stressful as a result of the pandemic of the virus. There were funeral and gravesite limitations which made it impossible to come together with family and friends. Richard and his staff make the funeral as painless as possible. I really appreciate their thoughtfulness and kindness. Thanks again--Harvey Brown"

"I went to Berger to plan for my father's funeral. I did not know what I did not know. Mike explained everything in a very calm, reassuring way. There was never any pressure to do or spend more than what I decided. I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the expense was, and how much Mike took care of so that I could attend to the needs of my family."

"The most valuable aspect of our experience with Berger Memorial was the care and guidance given to us by George Schuler, who helped from beginning to end. We were not prepared in any way for Mom's death. George walked us through everything, from having Mom properly transported from the hospital and then prepared for her burial, to helping with the Obituary and its distribution, to attending to the details of transporting and burying Mom, coordinating with a third party Funeral home and a Cemetery in another State. George Schuler and the staff at Berger's made Mom's route an easy one. Thank you."

"The people at Berger handled the interment of my stepmother with dignity, professionalism, understanding, compassion, supportiveness, tastefulness, nurturing, and sensitive guidance. Everything from the picking up of her body the night she passed away at home to the support and informational phone calls to the paperwork and the financial arrangements was flawless, impeccable, and extraordinary. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a funeral home."

"I met and worked with Alana Shapiro Bluestone to plan and pay for my elderly and terminally ill mother's funeral a few months in advance. When the time came, the funeral director was Michael Sniegocki. The day before the funeral, I met with George Schuler to complete the paperwork and pay the relatively small amount of outstanding balance that was not covered by the pre-paid contract. Everything that I experienced from Berger Memorial was thoughtful and compassionate, in terms of responding to my needs. I cannot think of a way in which any of these Berger Memorial staff members underperformed, or came up short of my expectations."
