We are incredibly grateful to Boulevard Funeral Home, and especially Michael, for his kindness, professionalism, and compassion during one of the most difficult times for our family. Our father had to be transported from Florida to New Jersey for the burial, and from the very beginning through the final cemetery services, Michael was there every step of the way. He handled everything with dignity, and care, which brought our family a great sense of peace during such a heartbreaking time. He was also very honest with prices and expenses, which we truly appreciated. We are deeply thankful to Michael and his team for their support and for honoring our father with such respect and compassion. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
