Lowenstein’s Funeral Home Inc

My mother passed away on 3/​22/​14-​like most families we needed to receive my mother’s insurance policies in order to pay for funeral expenses. My mother was in Absecon at the time of her passing. My family had not discussed what funeral director to use, so since it was late at night we called Lowenstein Funeral Home because it was close by and we thought it was a good choice because it was located nearby several family members who needed to meet there and complete final arrangements. We called Lowenstein Funeral Home and the funeral director only sent one person that could handle carrying my mother. There were two people but one was a tiny lady who we questioned about being capable of doing the job she was there to do. My mother weighed no more than about 150 lbs. She was extremely under weight but yet we had the horrible experience added to our grief of them asking a family member to help them do their job of carrying my mother. This horrible experience has a lasting effect on our entire family that had to endure witnessing such a thing as this especially, our poor grief stricken grandson who was forced to do something so unthinkable and to this day is unspeakable.
This was not our only devastation with these people that we encountered before having my mother moved to a much more humane establishment. After our family endured the passing of our mother at home and the added trauma of an unprofessional funeral home all very late on a Sat night.
We were pressured to come to a meeting at the funeral home very early Monday morning. Immediately after making some necessary decisions that could possibly be made at that point without having talked our pastor about the availability of the church etc (the first business day after my mother’s passing) we were handed a bill for over $ 10,000 and told it had to be paid in four days before the tentative day of the funeral service.
We had no other alternative at that point but to find a professional funeral home that we could trust and that would work with us and give us time to collect the insurance policies. The dignified humane way funeral arrangements are normally handled.

Now I know it is hard to review a funeral home, but this place really does desrve the 5 star rating. My grandmother’s funeral services were done here, this past weekend, and I really appreciated the service we got from the staff.
I know that when someone passed everyone’s shows empathy, and since this place is in the funeral business, they specialize in «seeing the dead.» However, this place really shows that they care, not only for the family of the person who has passed, but about the guests that attend the services too.
