Its taken me 8 months to write this review:…read more When we were in need of a funeral home we checked out Hawkins and Davis, and they stepped up, very kind, made the process incredibly easy for a grieving family. The quality was top notch at an affordable price. Funerals should not cost the price of a used car or more. Prices were fair and reasonable. We were giving the utmost respect even with breakdowns, these people understand and are sympathetic. I am very pleased with how fast and efficient services were during that very emotional time. We opted for direct cremation, no other services, no obituary, nothing else except direct cremation. The facility placed our loved one in the urn of our choosing, even though it wasn't bought from them for free. Very professional. Very Understanding. Very sympathetic. Very kind.

For my father's funeral, I found Hawkins and Davis to be very professional and respectful, and they…read moredid an excellent job in preparing him for his wake. In addition, I found the prepaid arrangement to work flawlessly. I basically had to make one phone call and they handled the rest. I appreciate not having to deal with making these arrangements at such a stressful time. Please be aware that with the Irrevocable/Medicaid Trust plan that we used, we did not get any of the interest that our deposit earned but we still had to pay taxes on it. This could add up over time.

My father passed away in his nursing home in Oakdale this week and while we were expecting it to…read morehappen, it was quite sudden at the end. So we needed to arrange for a funeral home to pick him up the same day, prepare him, bring him to the grave site and manage the process with the cemetery. The nursing home recommended Fives along with a few others which they had a good experience with. So I called around and Liana at Fives was very helpful in walking through every step and answering my questions. Their pricing was very clear and they emailed me a quote within minutes of me asking. They were reasonably priced, especially compared with funeral homes closer to the city and they offered the same range of services that met our needs. So we selected them. We drove out to see my father and collect his things, and Shawn (the owner, carrying on from his father) met us there, answered a few more questions and was very kind and professional as he moved our father out of his room. Fives was able to arrange for the burial the very next afternoon at our cemetery in Queens. So that was very efficient. Shawn met us at the cemetery office before the scheduled time and handled everything with them once he had all the relevant info from us. At the grave, Shawn accompanied us to the plot and offered a few words to get us started which was nice as we were doing the ceremony ourselves with a very small group. He also reminded us of some of the nuances of the ceremony which was helpful. So our experience with Fives was as good as you could hope for in a situation no one looks forward to. Highly recommended that you consider them. While our situation was relatively simple, but on a short timeline, based on our experience, I'm confident Fives would do a very good job with even more complex situations. And if you are reading this because you need a funeral home/director, I wish you the best.

I've used the cremation services of Fives Funeral Home in 2015 and 2026. Their guidance,…read morereassurance and professionalism kept me confident that things would be handled properly. Every call was answered by Shawn Fives or Leana - never voicemail. Emails were answered the same day. When you are overcome with grief and can't hold two thoughts together, the last thing you need is to worry about funeral arrangements. The courtesies extended by Fives are invaluable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommed them.

I cannot say enough about this funeral home and the staff and Director (and even the dog Jake). To…read moresay a funeral was beautiful seems a little morbid and inappropriate. but, that's exactly how I can describe my father's wake at Jacobson funeral home in Huntington. They went above and beyond in every little detail From the minute we walked in and met with them. They were comforting, professional, and absolutely amazing. even the little small touch with them standing at the door as we exited for the funeral progression to the cemetery- they offered a plaque for each car that said funeral and travel tissue packages. I've never seen that done before at a funeral. they truly care about the deceased and the family! Even if you do not live in the immediate area, I would highly recommend considering Jacobson funeral home. With love the family of Robert Peckham

Chris and his team could not have been more thoughtful, caring or sensitively attuned to what was…read moreneeded during the entire process of my mother-in-law's passing and funeral. Chris is likely to have attended to thousands of funerals, but there was no sense that this was 'same-old, same-old' with him. He was so in tune with where the family was emotionally, and was able to adjust accordingly. He was such a calming, helpful presence throughout. He has the wisdom of knowing that people's faculties are compromised at a time like this and guided us gently through each part of the process at just the right time, never invasive, checking in on what might be needed and offering just the right amount of guidance and preparation. Likewise, every inch of the funeral home and their chapels have been designed to make you feel the warmth, serenity and dignity you would wish for at such a time: The decor is elegant but homey; the background music is peaceful and settling; the fish pond and fountain in the reception area adds a natural, calming element, and of course, there's Jake. Jake (Chris's shadow) is a young, highly trained labradoodle who is the resident support dog, gently walking around, offering himself to anyone he senses may need him. He is a special soul and he loves his work. I don't think the process could have gone more smoothly. The chapel was beautifully set up and my mother-in-law looked so naturally elegant and peaceful at her wake in the chapel. They did an incredible job. They created a beautiful digital slideshow from all our photos and set up our photo boards and flowers magnificently. After the service, they packed up everything from the chapel and stored it for us carefully until we could collect it at our convenience. Nothing seemed too much for them as long as they could help make this process as easy and meaningful as possible for us. One final aspect worth mentioning: The funeral home allowed us to arrange a lot upfront, before my mother-in-law passed, which similar business services do not always allow. Once someone has passed, emotions are so high that it's really hard to concentrate on small details, which is required to plan accordingly. Being able to plan this all upfront was incredibly helpful.

All of our expectations were met and fulfilled. Thank you again. The process of losing someone is very difficult. We are at peace and your support was appreciated!

It's been almost two years since my father, A. Webster (April 2024), passed away, and I can still…read morerecall the kindness I was shown while making his arrangements. We had talked in the past about what he thought he wanted, but after a long conversation he decided on a direct burial -- "no fuss, no muss," as he always said. Everyone went out of their way for us. One man in particular -- who himself passed away months later -- made sure the details I provided were perfect. He wore his cap, treated my father with dignity, and was kind enough to place some of my cat's ashes in my father's hands. When I saw my dad two days later, dressed as best as they could in one of his favorite outfits, he looked like he was simply taking a nap. I even made a comment about the florist -- I had asked for one arrangement and they sent something completely wrong, but that was on them, not the funeral home. They closed the lid, and off we went -- just my husband and me in the limo. When we arrived, the Director read a beautiful poem and made sure I was safe walking on the ground, which was still soft from a week of rain. Even on the ride back, he checked on me, got me to chuckle, and made sure I wasn't alone in the heaviness of the moment. When we returned, I handled the last few things that needed to be done. Within a day or two, I had the certificates in hand, and we shook hands. It was perfect. Everyone I've known who has been in their care has been treated personally and with such attention that I am confident, when my time comes, I want them to take care of me as well. I know it will be done just right.

Everything took way too long to be taken care of. From the time he was brought from the ME office, to being notified that his body was picked up and the cremation was complete. I was NOT notified where to pick up his ashes. Then I was finally told, St James! It was supposed to be a funeral home in Freeport(much closer to where I live) Then I was NOT notified about the additional 4% charge for paying with my credit card. 5 death certificates were ordered. Neither my niece or myself have received any to date! This was paid in full, one month after his actual date of death on 03/15/26 Today is 04/13/26 another month has passed. No accounts can be taken care of without a death certificate! This is extremely unprofessional and I would never recommend the business to anyone
