I see a number of previous reviews discussing how rude the office staff are, and that was my experience today. While sitting in our car for 15 minutes past the scheduled start time for a memorial, there was some confusion around whether or not it was time to drive to the grave.

We buried my mother two days ago. We had a great service ,wonderful Rabbi. the workers were wonderful.

It was impossible to find ppl as the sidewalks were not marked . You are using the Maps from 30 YEARS AGO . We were unable to fulfill that mitzvah. 2022 people. Please get with the program… this is shameful.

Just had a burial for my grandmother there and that went pretty well. However, trying to find other family members was nightmarish and their maps sucked! No exact placements, just a general area. We spent 20-30 minutes looking for our family members and were completely lost. Some of the maintenance folks tried to help but the office people left a lot to be desired. So many gravesites are crowded or overgrown. It’s just really sad.
