We live in New York and our mom went home. The services provided by Luis and his team for cremation far exceeded our expectations. Their compassion and patience during a time that was needed is very much appreciated. He guided us during our difficult times and now after times passed, we understand because of experience he could provide great service so well. Completing everything online and being able to talk to someone on an early Sunday morning also help to put us at ease from the start. Blessings and great service.

My mom has gone home to the Lord, and in my time of grief, I came across Whelan Schwartz. From the very beginning, they were truly a blessing. They clearly explained the pricing, what was included, and all the services they offered, which gave me peace of mind knowing my mom was in caring hands.
They did a beautiful job with her makeup and hair, and the service itself was peaceful and dignified. During such a difficult time, they eased the burden by handling everything with compassion and professionalism.
If you’re looking for a funeral home that is compassionate, honest, and supportive, Whelan Schwartz is a place you can trust to care for your loved one. Thank you… read full review
