“We recently visited to purchase a family stone. We worked with Ray who is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He helped guide us and help us to pick the perfect stone and style for our loved one. We have looked at multiple memorial places, and Ray was by far the most knowledgeable person we have encountered. He really made this that experience much easier for us and we left a very satisfied.“

“My father passed away about a month ago, we knew it was coming for some time. I had never had to plan for something like this and was overwhelmed trying to make arrangements while taking my father to appointments and spending time with my mother, who was also in decline. I got in contact with Ballard-Durand and they were fantastic! There was always someone getting right back to me about ANY question, and there were LOTS. Even after he passed, they continued to reach out with condolences and aftercare arrangements to help relieve me of many of the little jobs that none of us ever think about. I honestly don't know how I would have pulled it all together without their help.“

“Travis Monument was recommended to me and they did not disappoint. I worked with Floriana and she walked us through the options. Floriana put pen to paper and drafted a visual representation of what we discussed. A few weeks later, Floriana emailed me with a computer generated depiction of the headstone. Everything they committed to they did. The customer experience was excellent and I couldn’t be happier. They did a beautiful job. Many thanks to Floriana and everyone else that worked on this. I strongly recommend Travis Monument.“

“Tom DiCarlo and his staff were great. They were incredibly respectful and ensured all of my family’s wishes were honored. We truly appreciated their professionalism and care during such a difficult time.“

“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.“

“Pat Sr. and Pat Jr. are the best. From the moment our mother passed away at Calvary hospital until the day after the funeral they were there for us.<br><br>The moment our mother passed away my wife call Pleasant Manor asking if they could come to the Bronx to pick her up so she would not have to go to the morgue. Pat Sr. was there within the hour.<br><br>My wife called Pleasant Manor on the drive home and Pat Jr. said come by once you get your thoughts together. My wife, SIL and BIL arrived that afternoon and Pat Jr. made them feel so comfortable. They were in and out in no time with nothing to worry about.<br><br>The wake was beautiful. Pat Jr. did an amazing job on my MIL. The video slide show was perfect. I gave him a flash drive with over 175 pictures and his program created a slide show. I brought him four flash drives the morning of the funeral and he had the slide show download on all four drives before we left for the church.<br><br>The next day we sent a text to Pat Jr. asking for Thank You cards. He said they would be ready by 9am. We arrived at 9am just before another funeral was about to begin. Pat Sr. waived us in and said Pat Jr. had the cards. We drove up to the home and Pat Jr. came out and handed us the cards.<br><br>Later that week we were back at the home for another wake. Pat Jr. was a gem. We cannot say enough about this family. They are amazing and they've earned all our future business. Let's just pray that is later rather than sooner. LOL“

“During our time of grief, planning a funeral for a loved one is extremely difficult. My mother pre-planned her funeral with Lee's Funeral Home and the one thing I learned from Lee's Funeral Home is never judge a book by its cover. The waiting room is outdated but the service is impeccable, honest, warm, comforting and calming. Jennifer took us through every step, showed us what my Mother had chosen, asked if we wanted to change anything...we didn't. A staff member came in and asked us questions about Mommy, which made us remember the little things and we were presented with a tapestry of her life that truly brought a smile to my face. Lee's took great care with Mommy, gave her dignity every step of the way...she looked peaceful and beautiful. Lee's was also able to provide some options for a caterer in the area for the repast. They put together a bag at the end of the service with the cards from the flower, the sign in book, the additional programs and the cards, and the tapestry. We didn't need to go look for anything or gather stuff, they had thought of everything!!! I'm not sure I have completely conveyed how great Lee's Funeral home is but I am giving it my best effort. I thank them for taking care of my mom and in turn taking care of the family. If the star scale went to 1000, that is what I would give them.“

“Tatyana and Matthew provided professional and caring service for my mother. They arranged for her to be flown from Florida to NY. They made sure our family's wishes were carried out. The rooms are lovely, modern and bright. Everything was explained and itemized for us so there were no surprises. They were there every step of the way and believe me it matters when a family is grieving.“

“Every interaction we, as a family, have had with the Ballard-Durand Funeral Home in preparation of the funeral service and burial our beloved family member was carried out exactly as we had envisioned.

“Billy at BeecherFlooks did an amazing job for our family in the burial and celebration of our late Mom. We had a complicated situation with my Mom living her last decade in Texas and her wishes to be buried in her family cemetery in Westchester Cty. BeecherFlooks was recommended to us by a local friend and they were terrific, handled all the logistics of getting my Mom from TX to NY, serving a Catholic priest and many other details. We were 100% satisfied customers.“

We greatly appreciated someone there that was informative as we took our tour. Thank you Helio! Take your time and enjoy the walk.“

“I was recommended to this funeral home by some of my friends here in Nyack. I walked into this funeral home with two bricks on my shoulders and left without those bricks. Sat down with Mr. Keith R. Taylor and with his expertise he made all the arrangements that were necessary to give my beloved Daughter a decent burial. I will recommend this funeral home to everyone that might need a funeral home. I THANK YOU Keith a thousand times for making this possible and easier for me. I give this funeral home 5 STARS they are the BEST. God Bless you Keith.“
