Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Cliffside Park

“A. K. Macagna has a wonderful caring, supportive and excellent professional staff.
Our mom passed away suddenly last week and we didn't have a prior plan in place. I called many places, but from the very first call, Anthony was receptive, patiently answered all my questions and most of all was caring and empathetic to our grief. Even though we opted for a simple cremation, Michael made it a beautiful, smooth and almost effortless experience for our family; with Anthony listening to us and making adjustments according to our needs. I know I called them both a number of times and every time they answered with patience and understanding, knowing we were grieving and not always thinking clearly. The Funeral Home is beautiful and the Eastlawn Crematory Chapel as well. Our family was fortunate to choose AK Macagna and we are forever grateful for their caring and very professional assistance during our saddest time.
They are more than just a business, they are a supportive team successfully helping families through an emotional time of loss and grief.“

“I like to acknowledge this Funeral Home for there kindness, helpfulness, compassion for a few of my funeral arrangements! This last one was a cremation! I would recommend this funeral home to anyone that has lost a love one! Thank you everyone!“

“We have used Vander Plaat Memorial Home in the past, or I should say my family has. So when my mother had passed I figured this is the place I would reach out to.

From the opening conversation with them until the actual burial they were extremely curtious and sympathetic to our needs, they even had my father's info on file making my mothers one request of the same casket possible.

I cannot say enough good things about Connor and his team. They have even reached out a couple of weeks after just to check in. I would highly recommend Vander Plaat.“

“I have to tell you it’s not an easy thing to prepare for your own cremation services. But thank you Skyler (correct spelling?) for your patient empathy and patience during the process. Very detailed and focused. I appreciate the assistance and honest feedback. Anyone looking to prep for the “oven” lol look no look no further than Forever After Funeral Services. A beautiful quiet serene place.“

“This funeral home was a great host and I recommend them for any family. My funeral service at the Williams Funeral Home was a great experience.“

“We cannot thank Michael and his entire team enough for everything they did for our family during one of the hardest moments of our lives. From the very beginning, they guided us through every step of the funeral process with compassion, professionalism, and genuine care.

They took care of every detail, including arranging the church Mass, coordinating for a priest to come to the funeral home to pray with our family, helping us with cemetery information, and making sure all of the necessary paperwork was completed. We never had to worry about anything because they handled it all with such kindness and respect.

At the end of the services, they even gathered all of the flowers for us, which was one less thing for our grieving family to think about. Their attention to detail and support meant more than words can express.

Thank you, Michael and your amazing team, for honoring my dad with such dignity and for making this incredibly difficult time a little easier for our family. We will always be grateful for your compassion, dedication, and exceptional service.“

“When my aunt passed away I had no idea how to arrange a funeral and felt completely overwhelmed. I am not from the area so I had randomly contacted a few different funeral homes that were either dismissive or didn’t follow through on sending me information. From the moment I contacted Ruggiero they treated me with incredible kindness, patience and compassion. Andrew and Jessica went above and beyond in answering all my questions while never making me feel rushed. They genuinely cared about making sure everything was handled with dignity and respect. I would highly recommend Ruggiero funeral home to anyone who needs caring and compassionate funeral services.“

I truly appreciate all the support they gave us during this difficult time. I highly recommend this funeral home to anyone looking for caring and reliable services.“

“Loosing my dad was one of the hardest moments of my life, but Anthony’s warmth, kindness shown to my family meant more than i can put into words. His support, patience and compassion was extraordinary. I will always be grateful for everything he did.“

“We are incredibly thankful to Zamira and everyone at Seneca Chapel. From our very first meeting, she treated our family with respect, compassion, and genuine care. She patiently walked us through every decision, helped us complete all the necessary paperwork, and coordinated everything from the church service to the cemetery. During one of the hardest times in our lives, her guidance brought us comfort and peace of mind. Thank you for everything.
May my sister Yomaira Lazaro Rest In Peace.“

“From the moment I called Barquin Funeral home in distress until all the final items, Mario and his team was the most gracious and professional people. It is a stressful time and they fully took care of everything and our mom looked beautiful!
I called all the funeral homes in the area, but Mario was the most ethical and professional person I spoke with. He has treated our family with respect and compassion, and offered best solutions for anything we have faced. Mario works tirelessly on weekends and evenings to accommodate his customers and provide the best service. I’m thankful for him and his team! His facilities are clean and beautiful, and offer a comfortable place for families and friends to say goodbye to their loved ones.“

They were professional every step of the way. I was able to prepay my cousin's funeral but when the time came everything was made as seamless as possible. Everyone was satisfied with the actual service. Even going to the cemetery was made as nice as possible. Once again I would like to thank you Walter B. Cooke Funeral Home from the bottom of my heart.“

“I am so happy I selected your funeral home for my husband's service. I am beyond grateful because I've never planned a funeral before and as you can imagine the anxiety I felt with loosing my husband and now having to plan his service was overwhelming. Ashley the funeral director was amazing, her professionalism and knowledge gave me so much reassurance planning my husband's funeral. My husband's funeral was so beautiful and my husband looked so handsome. Me and my family were able to celebrate my husband's life. It was truly beautiful experience.“

“The Campbell’s staff were exceptional, very supportive and took care of every detail, before and during the service. The reception room was quiet and dignified and guests were received at the elevator and accompanied to the room. It was a difficult day for so many of us, but having this level of support from the staff at Campbell’s ensured we were able to greet friends and family and concentrate on our private thoughts. We highly recommend the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel.“

““As a devoted Jewish wife to my husband, who was Roman Catholic, who wholeheartedly supported my decision to become a modern Orthodox Jew during our many years of marriage.

When my husband passed, Plaza Jewish Community Chapel director Anthony was compassionate and understanding, his presence made my experience with the loss of my beloved husband unforgettable.

On the day of his passing, which occurred on a Saturday afternoon at Calvary Hospital, Anthony arrived after Shabbat to collect us in his service van.

My husband’s final wish was to be near his home again somehow. I shared this story with Anthony and inquired if it would be possible for him to drive by our home, which is a short distance from the Plaza Jewish Community Chapel.

When Anthony confirmed his availability, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude and happiness. We embarked on the journey in his service van, accompanied by my 25 years of love and the casket of my late husband. As we drove, I reminisced about our beautiful life together with Anthony. He then guided us to the Plaza Jewish Community Chapel, where he expertly managed the remaining arrangements.

In 2019, Anthony served as a Funeral Director at the Plaza Jewish Community Chapel. He meticulously handled the preparation of death certificates and other necessary documentation, ensuring that the transition was as smooth as possible during my profound grief. I am deeply grateful for his unwavering support and assistance.

From the outset to the conclusion of my husband’s life, the exceptional service provided by the Plaza Jewish Community Chapel has left an indelible mark on my memories. I am eternally grateful to Anthony for his invaluable contributions to my husband’s final journey.

Sincerely,
RG“

“My family and I would like to give the Ippolito-Stellato Funeral Home the highest compliments for an exceptional memorial service. We lost our aunt on April 11, 2026. We had pressing schedules with all of our family members and the director, Lou Jr, went over and above to ensure all schedules were met for the services.
The Stellato family has been friends with our family since 1960, and from Italy also. Our aunt met with Lou 15 years ago to arrange all her final wishes. He was very accommodating and took time to discuss every detail.
When she passed away, I notified Lou’s office. He immediately replied to me and gave me a direct contact. He and his staff were extremely communicative throughout the entire process, making it easy for our family. They explained each step in detail. The memorial video screen in the room was so nice, so that each visitor could see memories of themselves with the deceased.
The Ippolito-Stellato Funeral Home will always get our highest recommendation for an exceptional job and professionalism. Thank you to all of you…“
