Report
I highly recommend Wien and Son for families who have lost a loved one. My brother passed away in June and everything was taken care of with one phone call to Barry Wien. Barry was sensitive and empathic which was reassuring during this stressful time. He even recommended the Rabbi and a fantastic car service to transport my brother's home healthcare workers from NYC to NJ. Everything flowed together nicely for a beautiful service. Barry Wien helped to create a wonderful experience despite the sadness of my brother's death.
