If I could give Anthony and Menorah Chapels 6 stars I would. He was incredible in dealing with a long-distance burial of my grandfather. Not only was he compassionate and helpful in making this an efficient and comforting process, but he also went above and beyond to communicate with the cemetery when there was a dispute over my grandfather's burial plot. He told us not to worry and worked extra hours with the cemetery to ensure my grandfather could be buried next to my grandmother as planned. We are so grateful for his presence during this difficult time in our life and can be at peace knowing our grandfather was in his care. While I hope not to have to use his services again in the future, he would be the first person I would call if I needed funeral services. So impressed with the professionalism and demeanor in which this chapel conducts their business.

I'm in the unique position of doing auxiliary work for this chapel, work which gives me the extended chance to see how they really are when the public's not around. All funeral homes are good with the families of the deceased, but these folks are just as professional and patient with one another and even with contractors like me. They're the same in private as in public - warm and caring. No yelling. Bottom line: Not phony. I've dealt with over 20 funeral homes, and this is the one I'd recommend most for its sincere vibe. Even the place is furnished unpretentiously, just like management and staff are.

It's a weird feeling to give a funeral home 5 starts, but Menorah Chapels in Millburn did a great job. My mother was a sr. citizen who passed away after a long illness. Vincent was the funeral director who handled it and he was so organized, even keel & he returned every telephone call when he said he would. He was highly professional. Menorah Chapels did an excellent job with the added burden of the COVID crisis. Two years before my mother's passing, we met at Menorah Chapels' office to discuss my mother's final wishes. This is called pre-planning. This eliminated all of the stress & family bickering of what were the deceased's funeral wishes. When my mother passed, I called Menorah Chapels and explained which cemetary the plot is located. They retrieved the body from the hospital. Prepared it for burial according to Jewish traditions. They coordinated with the cemetary the opening of the grave site. There were no surprise charges. They gave us an itemized bill which matched our estimate from two years ago. I know that pre-planning is awkward. I highly recommend it. This is why, at the time of death, there is much emotion and general chaos. Having a written plan of what to do is really valuable. Also, if later someone irrelevant to you complains about something; you can just tell them you are following the written instructions of the deceased and to get off your a** so you can mourn in peace!

They arrange everything but I had to pay fir everything before the funeral and didn't get an itemized bill. I was charged $900 for make up even though it was a closed casket which was decided from the start. this has really bothered me and I would never use them again or recommend them.
