Funeral Services And Cemeteries near Valhalla

“My parents have a family plot there. I love visiting and sitting with my sisters, enjoying the serenity of the location when I visit. It is a beautiful cemetery.“

“The heartfelt service unique to a family-run business and the willingness to accommodate any request from the bereaved family were truly wonderful. The progression, background music, altar setup, personal makeup, and the Buddhist monk’s service—all were carried out just as we envisioned for the funeral and burial. I believe my late wife would have been pleased as well. Thank you very much.“

“I was very pleased with the professionalism, kindness, and concern that was offered to my family.“

“The owners, Patrick McNulty Sr. and his son Patrick Jr., are the most professional and compassionate people I have ever dealt with. What truly stands out is their extraordinary ability to make one of the most difficult experiences in life — laying a loved one to rest — feel possible, handled with such ease, grace, and genuine care. Patrick Jr. who is the funeral director is someone you can truly trust. From the very beginning, he reassured me that he would be there every step of the way, and he absolutely was. The wake and mass at the chapel were absolutely beautiful. They also arranged a live stream and recording so that our family in Colombia could feel like they were part of this special day — something that meant the world to us. I will always be grateful to Patrick Jr. for the kindness, patience, and dignity they brought to such a painful time. They are a true blessing to every family they serve.“

“I would absolutely ditto what reviewer Marie Raghnal wrote about Lee’s Funeral Home.
My husband and I set up a Funeral Trust for my father-in -law several months ago with Lee’s with the full understanding we could use any other funeral home once needed. Once we needed this service we knew right away we would use Lee’s because of our 1st visit. Jennifer was very kind, patient and attentive during this process. The service for my father-in-law was beautiful and stress free bc of Jennifer and her support staff . We are truly grateful and we highly recommend Lee’s Funeral Home.“

“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.

Thank you, Joe, Danielle, Josh, and Matt, for your kindness and dedication. You helped us honor our loved one in the most dignified and meaningful way. We are forever grateful.“

“Like it or not, everyone has to face the mortality of a loved one at sometime.Yesterday we laid our Mom to rest. I cannot say enough good things about Flynn Memorial Home on Central Ave in Yonkers. Jim, Mike and the rest of the staff were all wonderful. Their compassion and professionalism made a difficult situation for us managable. My Mom looked beautiful. It was obvious Mom was treated with care and love. Everything went so smoothly from start to finish.We knew some of the procedures as we lost our Dad almost 2 years ago. The way we were assisted back then made our choice of a Memorial Home a very easy decision. There was no question we were going back to Flynn. The men and women at Flynn went above and beyond to help us see our parents will Rest in Peace.We highly recommend Flynn Memorial Home.Margie Duvall Schweizer“

“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.“

“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)“

“Take the morning 2 hour walking tour with Nadia. I wish all tour guides as well as teachers would be so interesting teaching history. She makes the information her own with her vibrant personality. I was all smiles the whole time. Such an interesting and fun tour!“

“As we know when a loved one passes many emotions are running in all directions. Often times we forget to think about being level headed and understand what is needed from us to ensure our loved ones are remembered at their best and most peaceful. My mom passed the same day while I was on the west coast celebrating my friend’s next decade birthday.
My emotions were on a marathon pace and I had to collect myself on what to do.

I asked my husband to look at the most economical cremation services. And he found City Funeral Services (CFS) online. I kept reading the website and I called up a few funeral homes to compare prices. My goodness no one prepared me for the price gauging when you are the most emotional and irrational. I went to a funeral home in downtown Manhattan and they were priced insanely high and shown all types of caskets from top tier 20k to the least expensive of $3.8k casket just for cremation only. This just doesn’t make any sense and I understand it’s business however there are other ways to make it less transactional.

In the end I went and called up CFS and left a message with the receptionist. She’s rough on the edges but took my name and number and said the owner will get back to me as he’s on the road. I got a a callback within 30minutes. I told Peter I wanted something very simple such as a viewing with a few family members flying in from out of town with a 3 hour viewing / wake. I wanted my mom to look her best and after she’s been seen her cremation would follow. All this was a fairly reasonable priced and I committed. I completed the necessary form and my mom was retrieved in Peter’s hands. Everything was communicated via email with all the necessary additional forms such as Death Certificates, Contract, Permit for Cremation etc as these are all relevant paperwork that you must read carefully including the name of the deceased especially if you need to sort out the bank accounts, policies, etc.

We are all responsible to do the right thing and in the end when my mom’s viewing was taken place, she looked amazing with her dress and scarf I provided as she needed to go in style, her nails were did and lipstick on point. I purchased a bio degradable Urn from Amazon and had it sent to CFS. She looked so peaceful and the Chapel was surrounded by family and friends who popped in during the timeframe. A few flower arrangements with my mom’s picture frame in the circle made it easier by Wallyfloristandgifts (Alex) who understood what I needed and he helped arrange for the frame of my mom to help celebrate her. That’s all we needed.

Stephen the front door manager was very cool and he made it easier for us ensuring if we needed anything just let him know during the viewing. Perhaps we were a bunch of chill folks who wanted mom to be at peace and we celebrated her. We live in Long Island and we chose to celebrate mom in the Bronx. I hope review helps others if you wanted a simple wake without the extra trimmings as cremation can be the way as we are all trying to be planet friendly. To each’s own. No photos were added as the Chapel room was cozy, clean with plenty of sofas and chairs.“
