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.“

“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,
The Mckoy Family“

“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.“

“As native of the Wakefield section of the Bronx, the name 'F Ruggiero & Sons' has been a brand I have known for decades. I use to pass the former location on White Plains Road (close to East 237th Street) as a small boy everytime I went grocery shopping with my late mother during the 1980s. After their departure from the neighborhood sometime during the 1990s, I always knew that someday I would have to call on them to properly send one of my loved ones on their ultimate journey. After a horrific experience with a Bronx-based funeral chain that caters to the Latino community (not mentioning name) after my mother's death from cancer in February 2008, I told my sister I will not utilize that funeral home's services whenever it was my father's turn to start his voyage to Paradise. She understood completely and on September 15, 2016, she made the call me and my siblings dreaded when my father, Ramon, died peacefully in his sleep after 89 beautiful years on this earth. I flew into New York from my home in Toronto and zoomed up to Yonkers via Metro North. when I arrived, I found myself in a beautiful, solemn environment that brought peace to my heart. Viewing my father, who looked not only peaceful but handsome in his traditional 'guayabera' shirt and black slacks, I was moved to tears. I was so elated and proud of not only the facilities and services provided by the staff of this amazing instiution, but their kindness. They provided me a letter on request which I had to provide to my local unemployment office so that I was paid for the days I was away for my father's funeral. Furthermore, the staff did an amazing job organizing burial honors with the Department of Veterans Affairs. I was extremely moved to tears the morning of September 20, when the pallbearers who transported my father's casket from their Yonkers location to St. Francis of Rome Church on East 236th Street and Barnes Avenue in Wakefield (my family's parish for over two decades) brought the casket into the church and bowed and paid their respect to the huge crucifix depicting the Crucifixtion. Their staff also accompanied me and my family to my father's burial at St. Raymond's and took care of arrangements with the cemetery's officials. I can't express my sincerest thanks to the amazing staff and family at F. Ruggiero & Sons. Everyone was a class act and I returned to my home in Toronto knowing that my father got the goodbye he truly deserved. Highly Recommended! Not only are they a New York legacy, to me they are my heroes for giving my father a beautiful goodbye.“

“I want to express my deepest gratitude to Whalen & Ball Funeral Home, and especially to Mike, the funeral director. From start to finish, Mike showed professionalism, compassion, and genuine care for my family during a very difficult time.He honored my service as a City of Yonkers employee by providing a 10% discount, which meant more than he knows. Every time we called—no matter the hour—Mike was available, patient, and ready to help. He handled the memorial slideshow beautifully, taking that stress off our shoulders, and even arranged an on‑site casket viewing, which made the process much easier for our family.One thing that truly stood out was the flexibility and trust: payment wasn’t due until the day of the funeral, allowing us to focus on grieving and planning without added pressure.Whalen & Ball treated us with dignity, respect, and compassion. Mike went above and beyond, and my family is sincerely grateful.Highly recommend their services to anyone in need of funeral services.

“Writing a review for a funeral home wasn't something I ever expected to do, but I am so deeply grateful to have been guided to Edwards & Dowdle. I cannot express enough gratitude for their ability to lift the heavy burden of logistics, allowing me to focus entirely on celebrating my father’s life. 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. From the moment of my father’s passing through the final celebration of his life, they were exactly the people I needed. I am forever grateful, thank you.“

“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)“

“Thank you Ballard-Durand. Every detail taken care of by caring, considerate staff. No detail too small.

Thank you all at Ballard-Durand.“

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.“

“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!
