anonymous 10/18/2021I was sad and in a bit of a fog. The Plaza staff made everything incredibly easy. They were so king and so responsive and one step ahead of me so I didn't have to think too much. The whole experience of dealing with my father's death really surprised me. I am so grateful to them and always will be.

anonymous 9/16/2021I was completely satisfied with you services. The friendliness and warmth of your employees convinced me to use you fort my family member's funeral after initially hearing about you on WNYC. Thanks for the best possible experience one can expect from a sad occasion.
anonymous 9/15/2021My experience with Plaza was top-notch. They are responsive, professional and fair. Just what you need at a difficult time.
anonymous 9/06/2021I cannot speak more highly of Plaza Jewish Community Chapel. 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.
Jack Chorowsky 12/12/2019I was fortunate enough to be one of the individuals selected (by lottery) to go with Plaza Jewish Community Chapel to the cemetery in New Jersey (Cedar Park) where my parents are buried. 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!!

I was fortunate to be included in the JASA and chapel cemetery visit on 9/17. 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.
It seems strange to leave a review for a funeral home. 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.
Jeffrey Luft 6/29/2019As a Rabbi in the community I work with Plaza on a regular basis. Stephanie Garry and the whole staff are compassionate, professional, respectful and helpful from start to finish. Whether a simple graveside service or a grand sanctuary funeral, I know that I can count on Plaza to take care of my congregants and to make everything run smoothly.
Howard Goldsmith 2/13/2019I spoke to James and I believe Dennis, and Vincent .. I cannot express enough how compassionate and understanding they were in my darkest time. 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 !
Liz Zacuto 12/12/2018I would absolutely recommend Plaza Jewish Community, where we held the services for my father. Everyone there was courteous and helpful and extremely kind, and they answered all of our questions patiently and thoroughly. The Rabbi was terrific; he clearly had the gift of oratory and used it well during the service. There was no upselling and no nonsense. I highly recommend Plaza Jewish Community...Josh
