“My family member was entrusted to New Rochelle Funeral Home, when I saw her on the day of the funeral, I was amazed at how beautiful she looked. Bigger is not always better and Peter has the best price in town, trust me on that I have done my research. Do not judge this place based on looks, just trust the process and Peter will deliver. I was very happy that all the family members felt the same. He answers you when you call and that is considered great customer service. Our funeral was on November 4, 2023. Thank you Peter!

“Losing our father was one of the hardest experiences our family has ever faced. In the midst of the confusion, sadness, and overwhelming decisions that come with planning a service, Williams Funeral Home became our anchor. From the very first phone call, we felt not only cared for but genuinely seen as people navigating deep grief.

Two individuals in particular, Anthony and Skyler, went far beyond what anyone could have expected. Their compassion, patience, and professionalism turned what could have been a painful, stressful process into one that honored our father’s memory in the most meaningful way possible. From helping us understand every option to taking time to learn who our father was, they treated our family like their own.

Anthony guided us through each step with such gentleness and understanding. He made sure every question was answered, every detail double checked, and every concern addressed, never once making us feel rushed or like a burden. His empathy and attention to detail gave us a sense of peace we didn’t think was possible during such a difficult time.

Skyler was equally extraordinary. He took the time to arrange every aspect of the service exactly how we envisioned it, even going out of his way to accommodate special requests that reflected our father’s personality and spirit. His calm demeanor and steady reassurance made us feel supported throughout the entire process. It was clear he wasn’t just doing a job, he truly cared about helping us celebrate a life well lived.

What touched us most was the genuine kindness and personal attention from everyone at Williams Funeral Home. They never treated us like clients; they treated us like family. They went to great lengths, both emotionally and practically to make sure we were comfortable, informed, and surrounded by care at every turn. Whether it was helping us choose the right arrangements, coordinating with the funeral home, or simply checking in to see how we were coping, Anthony and Skyler were there without hesitation.
Williams funeral home itself is warm and welcoming, but it’s the people who make Williams Funeral Home so special. Every conversation felt compassionate and sincere, every detail thoughtfully handled. The entire team seemed to understand that grief is personal and that honoring someone’s life is sacred. They carried that understanding through every interaction, big or small.

In a time when everything felt uncertain and painful, Williams Funeral Home and especially Anthony and Skyler provided a sense of comfort, dignity, and peace that we will never forget. Their dedication, compassion, and professionalism went far beyond our expectations, and we will always be deeply grateful for the care they showed our family.

If you ever find yourself in the heartbreaking position of needing funeral services, I can say with complete confidence that Williams Funeral Home is a place of true compassion and integrity. They helped us honor our father beautifully, and for that, we are forever thankful.

Sleep easy Dad, (Horace Pace) It’s not good bye it’s see you later.

Sincerely,
The family of Horace Pace“

“Ballard-Durand handled my grandmother’s wake and funerary services beautifully. We are so thankful for the caring they took with her and with each of us.“

“I would like to take this opportunity to share my experience at Sisto Funeral Home. First and foremost, this establishment exemplifies peak performance in customer service and compassionate care. The facility is always impeccably clean and looks grand, as if it is ready for a grand opening at all times. I had the privilege of working with the funeral director, Ralph Faiella, who displayed professionalism from our very first conversation and demonstrated a genuine sense of empathy for the loss of my loved one.

There were no gimmicks involved; Ralph was straightforward and honest throughout the process. In my effort to make an informed decision, I visited approximately 25 other funeral homes, but ultimately, I returned to Sisto. Ralph set a high standard that others failed to meet.

Upon arriving at the funeral home, I was also greeted by two other gentlemen in the office who were equally welcoming. Although I regret that I do not recall their names, I recognize that this is a family-run business, and these gentlemen are essential in maintaining their outstanding customer service. Ralph guided me through the entire process, remaining communicative and informative at every step.

The day of the funeral was exceptionally challenging, yet funeral assistants Jose and another gentleman—whose name I cannot remember—provided remarkable professionalism and support. They treated all the guests with kindness, and I will update my review once I obtain their names, as they deserve recognition for their exemplary service.

I must commend them for the care they showed my mother; it felt as if she were their own family. My family and friends were profoundly moved by how beautiful my mother looked at the services. The mortician, who is also a family member, possesses a truly divine gift.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the send-off they provided. Ralph, thank you for your assistance during this difficult time. I wholeheartedly recommend Sisto Funeral Home to anyone faced with the daunting task of selecting a funeral home for their loved ones, as it will undoubtedly alleviate some of the burdens during a challenging period. Thank you once again, Sisto Funeral Home.“

“Following the death of my husband this summer, I turned to Riverdale Funeral Home. I made the right decision. Not just a business, they're neighbors. Both caring and professional, they allowed me to make my own decisions, then went to work to make everything as easy as possible for me. I recommend them highly.“

“Mr. Balsamo took us through step by step and made this painful process as painless as possible. Kept in contact with us at all times, very attentive, and didn't feel as though it was solely just a business. They made it smooth and easy for our loved ones to grieve.

From the Bottom of our Hearts, THANK YOU!!

With Regards The Akbar Family“

The gut wrenching process of situating funeral affairs was made seamless and we couldn’t thank this business enough. Clean and modern facility, spacious viewing rooms and plenty of seating. Without a doubt, best funeral home in the area.“

“During a very difficult time, Nick did an amazing job at assisting our family with all arrangements for my step son’s funeral. Everything was beautiful, organized and on time. We are very grateful to all the attention and compassion we received during this time by everyone at John. Dormi & Sons. Thank you so much!“

“Mr. Michael and the entire team at Whalen & Ball have been beyond helpful, comforting and accommodating to me and my family during the worst period of our lives. They made arrangements for us to see our loved one the day before, made beautiful prayer cards for distribution and even provided support and security throughout our events. Whatever extras you may need be it doves or a headstone they have contacts to deliver in a timely manner with empathy and poise. I am grateful for the immense amount of support, love and attentiveness Mr. Michael showed our family. He is someone you would want handling your loved one if the unfortunate reality comes knocking on your door. This is our second time working with him and I hope not to work with him any time soon but if needed he will absolutely be our 1st choice. Thank you Whalen & Ball for taking care of us. If you are reading this and debating where to take your loved one look no further call them now. They will treat you with love and respect.“

“There are no fitting words of praise that can be put together to describe the experience that Schuyler Hill Funeral Home gives when honoring your loved one. From the moment their team was contacted until services were over, my family and I were met with respect and empathy that cannot duplicated anywhere else. Every detail was thought of and carefully curated by Jackie and her amazing staff and we could not have asked for anything more. What could have been an extremely stressful process ended up being an emotionally beautiful experience that our family would not have had in anyone else's care. We cannot recommend Schuyler Hill Funeral Home enough.“

“We are from the island of Cyprus. We are Greek Cypriots. Our 15 year old niece was battling a 2 year fight with Brain cancer. We brought her to NYC for treatment. Since it had progressed too far she sadly passed away. We were devastated—coupled by grief and confusion about how to get her body back to Cyprus in a timely fashion.
Gus and John at Ferenga Funeral Home lead us along the way They told us exactly what needed to be done. They helped us with the choosing of the casket. Told us what they needed to fix Sofias body up. They arranged local and federal documents as well as international documentation regarding crating and transporting. They also arranged airline transportation back to Cyprus
They were hasty and very professional. We spoke daily about the progress. They gave us a very good price. The process was completed. in less than a week when it should have easily taken two.
The whole process was made so much easier than we could imagine.
We are indebted to these very kind and compassionate people.
Sincerely
Michelle Gould.“

“Riverside Nassau North made it easy to pre-plan and then provide actual funeral services for our mom. No hard sell. Funerals are expensive enough but they explained every charge and we were able to opt out of anything we did not need. They were respectful and helpful.“

“When a family member passes away you have to make an important decision about making there arrangements. At that difficult time I leaned on Farenga brothers to carry out my wishes and I couldn’t be more impressed with the Level of Professionalism, Care, and Compassion they had for me and my family. I wouldn’t go anywhere else in this time of need, Thank you Nick & Sal“

“During one of the most difficult moments of my life, Riverdale in Hudson provided comfort, compassion, and care beyond words. Anne and Laura were a true blessing. My cousin and I went to help dress my mom in a sari, and they treated her with the utmost respect and dignity. Every detail was handled so gently and thoughtfully — my mom looked just like herself, radiant and beautiful, exactly as I will always remember her.

Special note for Indian families: it is rare to find a funeral home willing to go the extra mile to honor cultural traditions. We dressed my mom together, but on the day, her sari pleats were impeccable — a small detail, yet one that would have meant so much to her. That care and respect for tradition touched my heart deeply.

In such a tender and heartbreaking time, Anne, Laura, and the entire Riverdale team gave me the gift of peace of mind. Their kindness made one of the hardest days a little lighter and turned it into a meaningful, memorable farewell. I will always be grateful.“

“Shastone Memorials (and specifically Russell) were such a huge help and support to us as we designed and ordered the gravestone for our mother. They could not have been more helpful! Thank you.“

“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 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, Hyacinth El-Mahdi Daughter of Dorothy Mckoy“

“During one of the most difficult times in our lives, the team at Edwards - Dowdle Funeral Home provided exceptional care, compassion, and professionalism. From the moment we walked in, we were met with genuine warmth and understanding.

Owner Joe was incredibly kind and attentive—he went above and beyond to make sure every detail was handled with respect and grace. Danielle, Josh, and Matt were equally wonderful. They treated our family with empathy and guided us through the process with clarity and patience.

Every aspect of the service was thoughtfully arranged and beautifully executed. The atmosphere was comforting, and the staff made sure we were never overwhelmed or alone in the process. Their support meant more than words can say.

“Ed Fox and his staff were friendly, compassionate and professional from start to finish. Ed's heartfelt guidance and sincere expressions of sympathy was genuinely appreciated. I never felt rushed, prodded, or like it was business as usual. All the logistical items were clear, and Ed took the time to explain everything in detail. Thank you for providing a beautiful funeral service for my dear mother. Mom would have enjoyed meeting you....and she would have liked you, too.“

“They are truly compassionate and the entire staff is so professional. They are make you feel like family during a difficult time. Thank you Guido and the staff at YFH for helping us with our recent loss and helping us lay our loved one to rest.“

“My mom suffered from cancer before she passed and did not look like herself. My siblings had decided to have a closed casket. Rich the funeral director assured us that his team would make her look like she did. When we arrived he stood in front of the casket and said my mom was a beautiful woman and it would be an injustice to have a closed casket but if we were not satisfied he would respect our wishes. The resemblance was uncanny and she looked as though she was asleep. They were very respectful and treated us like family. Guided us through every step and allowed us to grieve. I appreciate everything they did for us and my mom. My last memory of my beautiful mom is her sleeping at the funeral home and for that I thank you.“
