“From the bottom of my heart I want to thank the Ruggiero family and staff for the amazing support and compassionate care during the most difficult time. Michelle was by my side at the cemetery, empathetic and kind and at the same time very efficient and professional. She helped me so much.<br>Everything at the facility was beautifully organized, the video and the flowers, bright and welcoming.<br>Even years later, Andrew, Eileen, Michelle, were very helpful with other matters. I cannot say enough about the Ruggiero family and their expertise and commitment, sensitivity and respect that was afforded to me and my family. This is the best place and the best people to help at the hardest times.<br>Thank you so much.“
“Ed Fox and his staff were friendly, compassionate and professional from start to finish. Ed's heartfelt guidance and sincere expressions of sympathy was genuinely appreciated. I never felt rushed, prodded, or like it was business as usual. All the logistical items were clear, and Ed took the time to explain everything in detail. 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.“
“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“
“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.

“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“
“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! Rosalee T.“
“The staff at Coxe and Graziano is compassionate, caring, professional and wonderful. Growing up in Mamaroneck, over the years, I've attended a number of services at Coxe and Graziano - but this was the first time I needed to arrange services like this for a family member and I certainly didn't know what to ask or expect. I needn't have worried. Jen and Candace were very helpful and took care of everything. Literally everything. At the service, the gentlemen working that evening were kind and attentive to any needs. The only thing left to say is, Thank you.“
“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.“

“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.“
