GonnellaRead More
Dear Geri & Mike, I'd like to thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness since the passing of my husband Mike. You were wonderful in how you handled everything from beginning to end. The newsletter Transitions which you gifted me has been a big help. Although it sometimes brought me to tears, it also helped me to cope and understand a little better. Their words were very consoling and encouraging. Thank you again for all that you did. Sincerely, Frances Gonnella

DiComo FamilyRead More
Dear Geri & Mike, I want to thank you for all that you did to ensure that my mother's viewing and funeral were as perfect as one could hope for during those difficult days. Fortunately, I knew what to expect with regard to your professionalism and your empathy with the way you performed your services with my dad and my aunt Lou over the past five years. It was so reassuring to know that from the time that I was notified of her death through the day of her funeral that I did not have to deal with any stress or uncertainty. While I never expected as many people to attend her viewing as did, it was comforting to know that Mike was right there helping in every way that he could. I cannot begin to tell you how many comments we received about the way she looked, especially by those who had seen her just before she died. I commented to my wife when we first arrived, that my mom would have been very pleased with her appearance and the way you both handled everything. Again, please accept my gratitude for all that you did and please know that I would highly recommend your services to anyone in your area. Sincerely, Michael P DiComo

Dear Mike & Geri, Thank you for helping us through such a trying time. You two are an inspiration to you profession. We will not soon forget the caring professionalism you showed in every detail throughout this ordeal. When such a crisis occurs, one is at a loss to the proper procedures, or even the first steps to take. I am glad my mom had me make the first phone call to you. Every step of the way you were there to gently guide me through the path of least resistance. Thank You, Dr Brian P Killian

Molinia FamilyRead More
Dear Geraldine & Michael, Thank you so much for helping us get through a very difficult time. Your caring, kindness, understanding and suggestions made it a little easier for us. Your home is so lovely that anyone would be pleased, as we were to have their relatives and friends visit to pay their last respects. My husband, Joseph Molinia, looked so nice and natural. You did a wonderful job. We were very pleased with everything you did for us, setting up the religious and fraternal services, taking care of all the arrangements up North Jersey and accompanying us to Madonna Cemetery in Fort Lee. You were very comforting at a hard time. Thanks for the video, it is a beautiful memorable keepsake. Thank you again, may God bless you for being kind, caring and professional at the same time. Love and Peace, Mary Molinia & Family

Louise SkopakRead More
Dear Geri & Mike, Words are totally inadequate to express to the both of you my everlasting gratitude for the care and kindness you showered on me before and after Ed's death. Geri, you made the preplanning for his funeral as painless as it could possible be and when we were finished I was thankful that I did this before Ed died. I never believed that he could look so good after what he had been through and what he looked like when he died. As a matter of fact, I kept on commenting that he really looked like he was peacefully sleeping, and for that picture of him I shall always be grateful to you. My deepest appreciation always, Louise Skopak

I have to admit, it's the first funeral home I have ever been to that was so white and beautiful. I love the angels everywhere. Everyone was so nice, and my mother looked so beautiful. I thank you for making such a difficult time in my life just a little more bearable. Sincerely, Melissa Paley

Franklin CarlsenRead More
My Dear Geri, On behalf of my family and myself, we want to thank you and your husband, Mike, for the manner in which you provided all the services regarding my wife Marion's funeral. As you know, Marion lost so much weight in the last few months , that we had originally thought to have viewing for the family only, but when we saw how lovely she looked we decided to have all our friends and neighbors see her for the last time. Again, we want to thank you for all your effort and compassion toward my family and myself. Sincerely, Franklin Carlsen

Skopak FamilyRead More
Dear Geri & Mike, We just wanted to drop y'all a quick note saying thanks again for all you did behind the scenes to make John's dad's funeral as nice as it was. It was without a doubt something he would have wanted, and both of you couldn't have been more helpful in a sad and difficult time in our lives. There are so many different personalities to deal with and y'all did an excellent job of adapting to them all. Even though we had seen John's dad's health decline, I don't think we had ever prepared ourselves for this death. Perhaps you can never prepare for the death of a parent. In fact, it still seems a bit weird to me. At any rate-y'all did a wonderful job and in case you don't ever hear it-Thank You., John, Nancy, Kim & Matt Skopak

Eileen & Ron EckertRead More
Dear Geri & Mike On Behalf of the Joscak Family, I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Geri, you are truly in the right vocation. Your business is run by your heart and thats almost unheard of today. We were so very pleased with all your special details. Mom looked so beautiful-it was so heartwarming to see her this way at peace again-with no suffering shown in her face. She went through alot-so this was a blessing for us. From the time we walked into make arrangements your gentle caring way helped us at this difficult time-Mike at dad's house the night mom passed away was also a comfort and a gentleman. Every detail in your funeral home was taken care of-from your kind coldcut platter, to the gently taking of dad's hand down the aisle in church and the prayers you did at the cemetery. Everything was taken care of for us. Mom & Dad always insisted that when their time came, we were to only use "Oliverie Funeral Home", now I see why. I feel God chose you Geri at a young age to be an "Angel on earth" for God, by helping so many at their most difficult time in life! Keep up the great job you do. Sincerely, Eileen Joscak Eckert

I will always remember your help in this sorrowful time. God Bless you both, Frank

Capodici FamilyRead More
Dear Geri & Mike, Thank you so much for all that you did to make my grandmothers funeral beautiful. All of my family thanks you for all of your hospitality. You have a gift of remembering all the things that families forget, but what makes you so special is the little things that you did that I will always remember-especially the rose that was left on my grandmother's chair at her home.
