Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Hawthorne

“I had purchased a granit gravestone and had my deceased daughters picture engraved on it, from Westchester Memorials in Hawthorne, NY. It was delivered in excellent conditions to Ellenville, NY. In just the first couple of days of it's delivery I had many compliments on it. It's one of the most beautiful stones in this cemetary. I will attempt to download a pic of it below. (Having a bit of trouble doing so)“

Danielle was truly amazing; her guidance was invaluable, and she perfectly executed the vision I had for the service. It is clear that this team genuinely cares about honoring the lives of the people who come through their establishment.

“Dear Lee Funeral Home,

I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the extraordinary care and support you provided to our family during this difficult time. The professionalism, empathy, and expertise displayed by your funeral director, Jennifer Lee and staff made an otherwise overwhelming experience much more manageable and bearable.

From the very first meeting, we were impressed by how thoroughly the funeral director educated us about the entire process. Their clear explanations and attentive guidance helped us understand each step we would encounter while planning our mother’s funeral. This knowledge not only kept us informed but also helped ease our anxieties, allowing us to focus on honoring her memory rather than worrying about the logistics.

The compassion and support provided by your staff did not go unnoticed. Their patience in answering our questions and their willingness to accommodate our family's needs made us feel valued and respected. We truly appreciated their efforts to ensure that everything went smoothly, and their attention to detail was remarkable.

Thanks to your team, we were able to navigate this challenging time with grace, knowing we were in capable hands. Your commitment to providing compassionate care and guidance during such a profound moment in our lives is deeply appreciated.

Thank you once again for everything. Your dedication to your work is evident, and we are grateful to have had your support.

Warm regards,

Ernie is a very special man with a big heart.“

“I highly recommend this business and this wonderful family. We worked primarily with Patrick Jr. on two different occasions. Pat’s kindness, patience and compassion helped immensely in getting through these emotional times. His professionalism and responsiveness eased the logistical challenges of funeral planning. Overall, the support received from Pleasant Manor Funeral Home and Pat Jr. was beyond expectations.“

“I went in here at night and some guy with no head riding on a horse asked me about where was his head. Nice fellow though“

“Jeff and Tom were outstanding from start to finish. Their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail were truly second to none. Losing my mom was incredibly difficult, but I felt like I was in very good hands every step of the way. Everything ran smoothly, and they handled all the arrangements with care, dignity, and respect.

We had prepaid in advance, which made a very difficult time much easier on our family. Jeff, Tom, and the team orchestrated everything beautifully and gave us great comfort during a painful time. I am very grateful for their guidance and support and would highly recommend Edwin L. Bennett Funeral Homes.“

“Dwyer & Michaels funeral home did an amazing job with the set up for my grandmothers wake and funeral services. They were very gracious and accommodating every step of the way. Carmine, Giselle and Nicole were a great help with around the clock access during a tough time for our family making things as smooth as possible for me and my family.“

“One is never prepared for the death of a loved one. When my husband passed away suddenly, I was totally lost and overwhelmed. The wonderful folks at Ballad-Durand were sincerely compassionate and helpful. I was able to get through the entire process as smoothly as possible, and I have even received lots of support and resources for everything needed after the immediate care of my loved-one's remains. Thank you Ballard-Durand.“

“Travis Monuments was such a pleasure to work with during such a difficult and sad time in my family’s lives. They were truly the easiest part of funeral planning. They handled everything with grace and compassion and were diligent with their efforts and time. They are knowledgeable about cemetery rules and made sure the entire process went smoothly. They are also affordable! I can’t recommend them enough!“

“Without a doubt the best funeral home around. Keith and his staff took care of everything, dotted every i and crossed every t. We literally had nothing to do. We lost my step dad and mom within 2 weeks of each other and at a time we were all in a huge fog, the burden concerning the burial was completely lifted from our shoulders.

A huge thank you to everyone at Hannemanns, for Keith’s attention to detail and making such a tough time a little more bearable. You guys are the best! The family of Reva Wolf and Glenn Stan.“
