  • Debra Foster

The staff was very professional, courteous, attentive and made me feel at ease. Ms. Sylvia was a huge support for me and my family. She took care of us from the minute we meet her until the very end of our serves. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was in order. To finding us a bilingual Priest to making sure that we had copies of the readings. She made sure that we had everything that we needed. We had a beautiful service that went smoothly. She thought of all the little details that I couldn't even remember because I was grieving. There was nothing that she couldn't handle. She called me, e-mailed me, took my calls and made me feel like I was her only client. I highly recommend her and her team to get you through the process of taking care of your loved one. Thank you Sylvia and your entire staff for helping us and being there for us. Mrs. Foster

After I submitted my mother’s obituary to Greenwood, I was sent their posting. It was as I sent it to them. The night before the funeral, I had occasion to pull up the obituary on their website. Unlike the copy I’d reviewed, on the website an ad interrupted the text of the obituary. The ad was for the sale of “fingerprint jewelry.” The ad used my mother’s name and hawked jewelry that purported to feature her actual fingerprint. I was stunned by the placement of this crass ad. At no time did Greenwood request or receive permission to use my mother’s name for commercial purposes or to sell any image or imprint of her remains. The removal of the ad after I told the funeral director of my dissatisfaction did not detract from the outrageous liberty taken by Greenwood with my mother’s memory and remains. What a breach of trust.

On behalf of our family, we would like to extend our sincerest appreciation and thanks to Mrs. Jeanne St. Upery and the Greenwood Funeral Home staff for their sympathy and professionalism during the loss of our mother. Losing her was hard, but knowing her last wishes were carried out with such perfection, style and grace comforted us all. During the funeral planning process and service,, Jeanne was patient, kind, and so very compassionate. She contacted all needed parties (florist, cemetery, physician) quickly to get everything we needed done. Her caring heart comforted us every step of the way. She was truly a blessing to our family during a very difficult time.

  • Lauren Lopez

Thank you Greenwood Funeral Home. From the very first phone call, we knew we were in great hands. Everyone there has made a very difficult process easy and stress-free. You gave our family a peace of mind in dealing with all the details of our grandmother's funeral. You helped us accomplish her last wish by bringing her back to her home country. We sincerely thank you, especially to Jeanne, for your dedication, caring heart, and excellent customer service and attention to details. Jeanne, thank you for taking care of everything and giving us all the time we needed to grieve.

  • J Lusk

I want to thank everyone at Greenwood Funeral Home. No one ever wants to plan for a loved ones passing but life does not spare us that pain. Sylvia Mantia was great to work with. She understood our wishes, did not try to sell us frivolous things we did not want or need. She contacted all needed parties (coroner, physician, crematorium) quickly to get everything handled and was in contact with us so there was no cause for concern. Her kindness and sincerity was felt by all of us. She is a true professional with a heart.

  • Catherine Jones

My family and I extend our sincere appreciation to Ms. Sylvia Mantia and the entire Greenwood Funeral Home staff. Our mother's passing was a difficult time for us, but their kindness, sympathy, and professionalism in handling every aspect of the visitation, mass, and burial eased our burden in planning the services. Sylvia took care of every detail, including overseeing the arrangements which needed to be made with the Greenwood cemetery staff. We cannot thank her enough.

  • James Heneghan

Greenwood's kindness, patience, and attention to detail at my father's funeral and interment in March of 2023 was absolutely second to none. Everything from submitting the obituary I wrote to requesting the death certificates went without a hitch or issue. Over the years, we have had several burials at Greenwood for various family members, and each and every one been handled with the utmost care, respect, and professionalism. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Greenwood was, and continues to be, extremely professional and attentive in the services for my wife. Sylvia, one of the funeral directors was unbelievably compassionate and never once tried to upsell me throughout this difficult process. She continues to check on me and ensure that everything was to my satisfaction. I would strongly recommend Sylvia and Greenwood and would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

On Oct. 10th, met with Laura Lamandre and purchased a pre-need cremation policy from Greenwood Funeral Home. Laura was professional, friendly, patient, answered all our questions and helped us make the best decisions for our needs. We appreciate everything she did and feel that Laura exemplifies the high standards that Greenwood Funeral Home is committed to providing for all their clients.
