Funeral Services And Cemeteries near Amityville

“Never in my lifetime would I have thought that a funeral home would be a “good experience” because of the emotions attached to the experience but, I have to say this was by far one of the best experiences in dealing with a business. It started with Matt when we were planning ahead of time for my family’s terminal illness. Matt was so welcoming and compassionate regarding our situation and handled it with grace and ease. Unfortunately, my uncle passed shortly after and we had to meet with Matt again (no appointment) but he treated us with kindness and respect, finalizing the process.

As for the wake and the actual service Andy, Dennis, Wes, Randy (I think that was his name-our driver) were so attentive to details and ensuring our comfort throughout the process. When you are handling grief it’s so important to have a positive team to support you so it’s one less burden to carry.

In any case, I highly recommend Powell Funeral Home to anyone looking to plan their love one’s funeral. Thank you for everything!!!“

“I wasn’t looking forward to making arrangements for my dad but you made it so easy. I felt so comfortable and at peace talking with you. Your recommendations were exactly what we needed to give my dad the most respectful send off. I didn’t feel like I was talking to a salesman. It felt like family, working with me, to get through this rough time. I’d definitely use them again…..hopefully not too soon.“

“Eternal Memorials was used for My moms foot stone. I was dealing directly with Jessica the owners daughter. She handled everything from start to finish. What I liked about Jessica was her personality when I was griving she was very up limiting and calm with me and never pressured me to do anything. She worked with the deposits and payments and always kept me updated through out the entire process. She actually became a friend to me during this process. I would highly recommend eternal Memorials and specifically Jessica to assist you if you need there services.“

“When was the last time the funeral home was renovated/updated? I don't care for the red lights on the stands beside the casket I think that is old fashioned. My question is not to be rude. Just curious. My mother was laid out there is 2007.“

“It's wonderful to know that when needed, Star of David was/has been there to make this horrible experience simple, easy, painless and transparent...

We have used Star of David previously and sadly, attended many funerals thru them - All 100%, all flawlessly executed and all beautifully/professionally done.

I want to thank Kevin and the Star of David team for everything they did for us recently - It is all very much appreciated!!

And yes, I would highly recommend Star of David, if/when needed...

“We recently had to plan a funeral for our beloved mom, which was a very hard thing for us to do. We chose Leo F Kearns funeral home in East Meadow, as it was the place my mom had chosen for my dad‘s services. All of the staff there are wonderful, especially Paul, who went out of his way to make it the easiest experience for us. From saying prayers at the cemetery, to allowing us to stay longer to say goodbye to her, went above and beyond. Even afterwards, he helped us with some of the paperwork we had to acquire. He was just so accommodating, that it made a terrible experience one that was easier to endure. Thank you Paul so much for being such a kind and considerate person. We appreciate you more than words could ever say.“

“In my time of despair of losing a loved one, an angel appeared at this funeral home by the name of Nicole, who turned out to be the director. Pls ask for her. She was patient, kind, fair, trustworthy and communicative even at 10 o’clock at night while I was in the hospital and she was all the while dotting every I and crossing every T to help us. I highly recommend her and William E. Law funeral home. In gratitude to Nicole, Laurie and staff. My family sincerely thanks you, Carolyn ?“

The wake, American Legion escort, helping arrange a beautiful church service. The drive by of my Dad's house and Dan laying a white rose on the porch.

“Charles G Schmitt Funeral Home Seaford is a family owned and operated full service facility. Recently, my brother Glenn passed away in El Paso TX unexpectedly. He had no wife or family members that could assist with his burial. I am his sister, but due to family situation - my brother & I were put into foster care as children and didn’t grow up together so I hadn’t been in contact with my brother for over 40 years. I contacted Curt Schmitt and he provided me with a funeral director in El Paso TX who could expedite my brothers remains from the hospital morgue to Sunset Funeral facility. I then contracted him to cremate my brother in Texas after we went through some state and veterans paperwork we were able to have his Remains shipped to New York to Schmitt’s funeral Home in Seaford. The staff is so kind and professional.?. With the little information I was able to provide about my brother‘s army military service. - they were able to coordinate with the Long Island national veterans cemetery in Farmingdale to have my brother properly put to rest in a niche with other veterans. The staff at the Long Island national Cemetery were Kind, and the honor guard and clergy was heartfelt The funeral director Curt Schmitt truly is an amazing caring and kind individual. He made a day that would’ve been one of the worst days you can do by putting your brother to rest… Into a peaceful, calm, and lovely ceremony. I will forever be Thankful. I would highly recommend anyone who’s looking for a funeral home to Just call Charles G Schmitt Funeral and let them take care of everything! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“During a difficult time, as you can imagine, Michael and his staff were pure kindness and professionalism. Due to a medical issue we were unable to attend our dear father in laws service. Michael went above and beyond to ensure that all the details were taken care of every step of the way. Johnstons takes pride in every aspect and makes even the most difficult times soon flawless. Thank you again for all of you support both professionally and emotionally. We couldn’t ask for better!“

“Words can't express how wonderful it was to work with Esposito Memorials, specifically Gina and Ann Marie. The compassion and professionalism I experienced throughout the process of creating my parents headstone was second to none!!
Gina and Ann Marie were both very attentive to all emails or phone call. They were extremly helpful in in all questions I had on creating the perfect headstone. Most importantly they were so compassionate in our conversations, listening to stories of my parents and also sharing their own. Making this a wonderful experience while going though a grieving time.
Thank-you Gina & Ann Marie“

“Absolutely stellar service and compassion...My mom passed recently and we called The Wantagh Abbey at 10pm at night...Doug answered and during this most difficult time he walked us through every step of the way...having never planned a funeral before my brothers and I did not know what to expect...yet we could not have expected anything better than the attention we received...Top notch everything...Doug called us back as late as almost midnight making sure ALL the arrangements were set up and multiple times asking if we had any questions...On the day of the wake, between Doug and Logan we were taken care of as if we were family!! Not that I am looking to plan another funeral anytime soon but if needed--WE KNOW WHERE TO GO?!! 5+ STAR service and so compassionate and caring...Thank you Wantagh Abbey..Xoxo #neversaygoodbye“

“My family and I will always be grateful to Gutterman's for the incredible care and professionalism they provided during the services and arrangements for our mother. During the most difficult time of our lives, from the moment we called and then walked in to meet them, we felt supported, understood, and genuinely cared for.

Every detail — from the planning to the ceremony itself — was handled with grace, dignity, and warmth. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything reflected our mother’s spirit perfectly. Everyone there, especially Gary, who we worked with throughout, was patient, attentive, and responsive to every request, making a very difficult time feel a little lighter.

The facility was beautiful, peaceful, and welcoming, and the team’s compassion truly shined through in every interaction. We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful or respectful experience.

Thank you, Gutterman's, for helping us honor our mother’s memory with such love and professionalism. We will never forget your empathy and kindness.“
