Celebrating the "Founding Generation"

Many of our clients are the children of those who moved to Teaneck decades ago and built its flourishing infrastructure. A Gold or Platinum Memoir is the perfect way to honor their contribution. We interview them via guided sessions (Zoom, Phone, or In-Person at our offices), ensuring their memories of "how it used to be" are preserved forever.
