The gentleman I spoke with asked why I wanted to have our wake there as opposed to somewhere else. He told me that I should make arrangements somewhere else. I received this treatment for no reason at all. You would think that a funeral director would have more sympathy for someone who had a relative pass away. I would never recommend for any of my friends or family to use this establishment.

Then in 2019 when my uncle passed we went back thinking we'd get the same quality service we received before, boy was I wrong. The moment we walked in we were met by pure ratchetness. Dudes that looked like they belong elsewhere eating wings and a so called funeral director (not the same one I dealt with in 2013) just as ghetto. No tact no empathy. I requested a change of casket since the one my cousin chose wasn't up to par and I was told it couldn't be done bc allegedly the body was already in the casket which I suspect wasn't true. Finally the morning of the burial they were over an hour late to pick him up and go to the cemetery. No reason given just kept telling us they were on the way. Unless this place has changed management and staff in the last 7yrs I would not use this place. I'd rate them no stars but that's not possible.

I was pretty much in shock when I contacted First Avenue Funeral Service in October from another…read morestate to make arrangements for a funeral. From the start they were compassionate, gentle and kind. There was no attempt made to upsell their services. They quickly took possession of my brother before I arrived in New York and it was a comfort to my family that he was no longer in the city morgue while I flew out to NY. They made the entire process of his wake and cremation as simple and gentle as possible. Mr. Lee was the one who prepared my brother for viewing. Mr. Lee is an artistic genius, due to throat cancer my brother did not look as he once did but Mr. Lee worked a miracle and despite the circumstances of his death my brother looked as if he had just settled down for a nap on my sofa. I half expected his ankles to be crossed as was his habit in life. While searching for a funeral home I found out that the one my family traditionally used was having legal issues over quality and was forced to look elsewhere to arrange funeral services. I'd contacted several funeral homes before deciding to go with FAS due to their location and was surprised to find that they were the least expensive out of all the funeral homes I'd contacted. They were budget friendly without being skimpy. Located in an area with several funeral homes, they are small, not so flashy and easily overlooked but they provide wonderful service and are kind and compassionate. I highly recommend them and will use them again should the need arise.

Everyone we worked with, Bruce, Pat, Jimmy, Mike, and others who I didn't get the names of, were extremely sympathetic throughout and we never felt pressured by them; they made sure the process was easy for us and that everything went smoothly during this difficult time. Communication was great and they always made us feel like we were priority even though they were working with multiple parties--I know they value each client and their service is phenomenal for everyone who chooses them. There's plenty of parking, clean restrooms, and just a comforting environment. My aunt who had attended funerals held by another funeral home who share the same space as Aievoli commented that this was by far a better experience. I will highly recommend Aievoli to anyone who will need funeral services in the future!

She was so rude yelling instructions at us the whole time. When we entered the sanctuary she was yelling so loud EVERYONE already seated turned around to see what all the commotion was. Sooo beyond rude, disrespectful and uncaring. When the service was concluding, the pastor was looking for her, so that they can do their part.She was nowhere to be found. So he started doing the final viewing, halfway through, she comes running up and trying to shush everybody so that she could read some random poem, by that time, no one was interested in hearing anything she had to say. While the pallbearers were moving the casket out of the sanctuary, she told the daughter of the decease to move out of the way, not excuse me but, move out of the way. Based off of these other reviews, I'm not even sure how this place is still open. Please don't send your loved ones here.You WILL BE highly disappointed.

I feel so fortunate to have worked with Jae and his professional staff. With one phone call he empathetically spoke with my grief stricken father and arrived at his home to discuss our wishes. Within 48 ours he coordinated the details with the ME's office, Church, Cemetery as well as casket, flowers, service programs, prep for open casket, creation of a beautiful 8x10 painting of my mom and so many small details including an online obituary, photos that his staff had taken. He helped to make a sad and tragic event transform into a beautiful memory that my mom would have been filled with joy knowing that her many family and friends gathered to celebrate her life. His expertise helped us to have more quality time with each other to honor my mother. I would highly recommend Jae and Haven.
