Funeral Services & Cemeteries in Astoria

“During one of the most heartbreaking and difficult times in my life, Gus and the entire family at Farenga Funeral Home showed my family a level of compassion, dignity, love, and care that I will never forget.

From the very first moment we walked through their doors, Gus treated us not like clients, but like family. His kindness, patience, understanding, and genuine empathy brought comfort to us during unimaginable pain. Every detail was handled with such grace, professionalism, and heartfelt sincerity. He went above and beyond in every possible way to make sure my mother’s services were beautiful, honorable, peaceful, and filled with love.

What truly makes Farenga Funeral Home special is the personal care they provide. Gus was always available to answer questions, guide us through difficult decisions, and reassure us during moments when we felt overwhelmed. You can genuinely feel how deeply he cares about the families he serves. That level of humanity is rare.

The entire staff and family at Farenga made an unbearable experience feel a little lighter through their warmth, support, and dedication. They helped us give my mother the beautiful and respectful farewell she deserved, and for that I will forever be grateful.

I wholeheartedly and highly recommend Farenga Funeral Home to anyone looking for a funeral home that leads with compassion, sincerity, professionalism, and love. If you want your loved one to be honored with true dignity and care, Gus, John, and his family are the people you want beside you.

Thank you again, Gus and your family for everything you have done for me and my family. We will never forget your kindness.“

“My Father passed Friday Oct 17th. My family came to an agreement on cremation but after calling a few funeral homes, John at O'Shea-Hoey Funeral Home was quick to help us out, communication was clear, price was very reasonable and showed compassion to our family as we were going through a hard time. Thank you so much ?“

“Gus and the gang are the best! They have been handling our funeral arrangements for many years with courtesy and care! Today for example, Stephen helped with the interment of my Aunt's ashes at Calvary in a very respectful way!Thank you for your service!“
