First of all my name is Steve the youngest son of Anna Konieczny who we just buried from Dooley Funeral Home. Well I've been home I had four operations I'm not the healthiest person anymore and it's because of the doctors the last time I was in the hospital I had double pneumonia mercer, went septic and life support. I developed Anemia and had a colonoscopy. The Dr ripped my spleen from my colon and sent me home. I lost half my blood but enough about me this is about my mom I just wanted you to get a background of why or do what I do well I asked the gentleman in the hall when I was there if I could, when everybody leaves at 8:00 if I could come back at like 8:30 and spend 10 minutes alone, I said or in theAM and he said I'm not the funeral director give me 10 min. I went to get my photo frame when I came back he said and how do you know the family, I could not believe it, I stood there with my mouth open and apparently my family just didn't mention me which is fine this is about my mom that's for another day. I'm the youngest son, my mom lived with me in Bayonne New Jersey for 17 years and she still does, she didn't live in Cranford she had some mail forwarded my sister did what she had to do it's not about her but my mom gets mail every other day with her Bayonne address my mom had two apartments, that's the way it was I didn't want to tell her no because I own a four family in Bayonne anyway when I came back in and he asked me who I was, he said he would go talk to the funeral director again, I said listen it could be 8:15 in the morning I just want 10 minutes he told me no I was in shock I immediately just said listen you know this is not going to look good after I write what I'm writing today. I mean backtrack to 2007 my dad passed away and I handled everything I did everything. My sister didn't even speak with my dad really and I let her do the reading in the church, when I bought a new suit my mom was with me you know funny story, it was the winter, what about a coat? I said don't worry I got a HOODIE, my mom just SAID NO. The woman giving me the clothes to try on brought over a P coat, put it on and damn I looked good but anyway, Dworzanskis in Bayonne New Jersey was the BEST. I also bought the same tie for me and him, thought that was the coolest I remember Rich told me listen come here anytime day or night sleep here, whatever I wanted. He was like my best friend. I didn't know him but you know he was like a friend I had for life. When my dad passed away in the hospital I spent a little too much time with him, the nurse said listen you got to go we got to bring him downstairs. I worked in the hospital in high school before it was remodeled and I have some bad memories of the morgue I got stuck on the elevator with somebody who just passed away and I didn't want him down there so I called RICH and said, listen I'm going to hire you for the services but can you please come here quick? I don't want my dad going down to the morgue, he was here in 10 minutes unbelievable and he told me I could come anytime day or nite and eve sleep there if I want. I took the tie to him at 11:30 at night I said can I go in and just you know spend a little time I spent a half hour it was after midnight. To say no to me, Dooley just took away something that I'm never going to get back I wanted 10 minutes alone with my mother that's it I tell you what the only reason why I put a one star because that's the only way you can write a review I am going to put this review up every day till the day I die until this gentleman calls me up in apologizes to me don't use Dooley...unbelievable.Steven Konieczny*SEE PICS BELOW OF MOM'S B-DAY PARTY I(YOUNGEST SON) GAVE HER AND OTNERS

Our mom passed in August and Stephan was really wonderful. He clearly explained all of our options and helped us make choices that were comfortable for our family. We walked in with questions and left feeling we were doing the right thing for our mom and family. All of the arrangements were taken care of and we felt fully supported throughout the process. Thank you!
