Funeral Services & Cemeteries in Yonkers

“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.

“My mother passed away last Tuesday and I went to Flynn Memorial Home on Central Ave the following day with my father and uncles. It was a very difficult time for us and the professionalism and composure when we met with Jack put us at ease. We went through the many list of options (embalming, transportation, pallbearers, transportation, flowers, memorial cards, casket, etc) and Jack thoroughly answered our questions and concerns. Jack took care of the obituary the same evening. The funeral service was on Sunday and the facility setup was outstanding, my mother looked beautiful and the guests were taken care of during the service. Parking was a need for our guests without any issues. The following day was the funeral service and we were taken care of from my father’s house, at the church and then to the cemetery by Mike, our driver and the jack of all trades. I highly recommend Flynn Memorial Home and the experience with Jack, Mike F, Jim, Mike T. and Nidia during a very stressful and emotional time.“

“Weinstein Memorial Chapel, led by Russell Greenblatt, did a wonderful job sensitively and effectively handling the funerals of both my mom and dad over the past year. He and the office was super responsive, organized and compassionate. Highly recommended.“

“Peter and the staff were thorough and professional. The handling of picking up my mom and allowing me and some family members to see her for a few minutes before cremation was caring. We appreciated that. Ashes and all documents were ready for pick up on date indicated.“
