They not only were so on top of everything but their humanity and kindness came through in every interaction we had with them. A funeral home in Florida didn't send to NY the body of my father in law until very late on the night before the funeral and then the plane was delayed 5 hours, arriving at 2:30am in the morning. When I spoke with Plaza at around 10pm, they assured me they would be at the NY airport at whatever time the plane arrived and drive directly to the funeral in NJ if they needed to. At 6am Darren texted me to confirm everything was all set. Darren, our main point person was incredible, but so was everyone else we interacted with. read less - 12/12/2019

Plaza prepared for this event in advance by asking each of us to provide the deceased name and, if known, grave location. A representative at Plaza then looked up the exact grave location each of us provided and created a map for us and the drivers indicating exactly how to get to each grave. I exchanged several emails with the coordinator, Rachel, who was extremely efficient and prompt in responding. Plaza was incredibly organized and emailed us the day before with a reminder. Plaza started the day with a lovely breakfast at the chapel consisting of bagels, cream cheese, various fruits and coffee. Several individuals spoke to us in a very meaningful, inspiring way. After approximately a half hour of community mingling, we all left in limousines to go to the cemetery. Plaza even provided stones for us and yarmulkas. In each car was a lovely fabric bag for each of us containing water, a granola bar, and various memorials and prayers. Also in each car was a rabbi. The rabbi in my car, Chaim, was extremely patient, sweet, and very knowledgeable. He entertained numerous questions from all of us and we got quite an education on our ride to, and then back from, the cemetery. In my car there were five individuals and we were each taken to the exact grave that we wished to visit. Chaim walked me to the exact grave that I wanted to visit. He asked each of us how much time we would each like at the grave and was extremely accommodating. After picking each of us up from the grave after our visits, we then all congregated for a debriefing of sorts in which Chaim read several prayers and spoke with us. We then went back to Plaza where it all began. Of course, going to a cemetery is not an extremely happy event however I am extremely grateful to Plaza for providing this service to the community. I have gone several times to the cemetery on my own by public transportation and it is a nightmare of a trip, not only getting there but then, once there, actually locating the intended grave. So kudos to Plaza. I think they're terrific for doing this!! read less - 9/21/2019

I do not drive and there is no longer any public transportation available to reach Cedar Park Cemetery in NJ. The Plaza Chapel trip offered me such a good opportunity to visit with my parents and also with other relatives. I don't know how this would otherwise have been possible. We were all well cared for with a very courteous driver and a very knowledgeable and helpful rabbi.
I am extremely grateful. read less - 9/19/2019

But in all honesty, Plaza Jewish Community Chapel made a difficult time easier, by allowing me to grieve for my loved one, without having to worry and stress over details both large and small. With just one call, the caring staff put everything on motion. They coordinated with a local service in Florida who collected the body from the house and then prepared it for transportation to NY. When that time comes, Plaza Jewish Community Chapel, will be there for you. read less - 6/29/2019

They listened to me through my tears. They never pushed for me to buy, they listened to my needs, my requirements, my desires for my hubby's funeral. Everything was just as I wanted it. At such a sad time, they all made things so much easier for me. Rabbi Klein was wonderful. I want to thank PJCC for being there for me. Bless you all ! read less - 12/12/2018
