    Beautiful flower -- just like my mother.
    Linda L.

    My dear mother passed away in March. This funeral home in Flushing, Queens, took care of her remain from the day she passed away to the day she was laid to rest. She is buried at the Pinelawn Cemetary, next to my father, who passed away seven years ago and also had his service here. The funeral procession of going from Queens to Farmingdale went very orderly and smoothly. Augustine Chan and his wonderful staff helped us get through this difficult time. My brother and I are truly grateful for their professionalism and compassion in time of our grief. Thank you!

    I would like to thank you Mr. Ha and all the staff who took care of my father-in-law's funeral service from start to finish. The place was also spacious and pleasant, and the central funeral director's harmonica playing at the tomb was a great comfort to our family. Thank you very much again and I highly recommend this place to those who are thinking about the last one.

We believe Grandma would have been happy with her service. They spoke English and Cantonese during the service as per our request. We had to show up on time then they drove us to each locations and back to pick up our cars in their parking lot. I am the most impressed with the military precision of the fleet of drivers that controlled traffic to keep the car procession together! Thank you for your respectful service. I am not sure about the value, it was a lot of money but how we got a lot for it. I do recommend what they offer.

Jacky was never pushy or salesy -- instead, he provided clear, detailed explanations at every step, which was especially helpful as it was our first time handling funeral arrangements. He was extremely respectful and patient, taking the time to understand our family's wishes, as well as the cultural traditions and expectations from relatives, and balancing them thoughtfully with what our mother would have wanted. His ability to communicate fluently in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and to read/write both Traditional and Simplified Chinese made it easy for everyone involved to feel understood and included. It also gave us great peace of mind knowing that nothing would be lost in translation during such an important and sensitive time. We were also deeply comforted by how beautifully the makeup and presentation of our mother were done -- she looked peaceful and like herself, which meant a lot to us and to everyone who came to pay their respects. We truly appreciated Jacky's guidance, knowledge of traditional customs, and the calm, steady presence he provided from beginning to end. Thank you again to Jacky and the Chun Fook team for making a very painful experience a little more bearable.

    Understanding, the lack of interest and generally infrequent use of these types of businesses, I…read morewrite nevertheless to suggest you consider alternatives. We've had two experiences, both leaving much to be desired. It's a tough time and nerves may be understandably frayed, but in my direct experience, I have found this vendor's compassion utterly lacking. Physically this structure has been here a long time and could stand some modernization. The vertical steps just inside the front door make entering and exiting particularly challenging on the older population or those with leg issues. There is an elevator approachable from the rear, but not well advertised or offered. Mourners are interrogated by the front desk staff, rather than greeted kindly. Consumption of water via bottle is frowned upon though dixie cups next to an old water fountain are available. The technology is dated and those with digital photos are asked to print them for the funeral home to then scan individually, a ludicrous use of labor and waste of survivor time particularly as more and more photos will only ever be in the cloud. Their rules are their rules with no opportunity for even a discussion of another approach. Take a look at the attached photo of guidelines, which in themselves, are off-putting and inaccurate. For example, even though we followed these to a"T," their system could not read, because of the outdated nature of their technology. Be forewarned. Picking an argument in direct view of the family decedent over the display and placement of photos was the pinnacle of poor business judgment and further demonstrated a gross lack of situational awareness. It was truly shocking and not something I'd wish others to experience. Upon completion, cards, gifts, and priest vestments were gathered for our pick-up. Fortunately, shortly after signing a release, we discovered one such vestment was missing. We called, returned and the vestment was found. When asked "how does this happen?," the response was "it just got left in the closet." Given my experience and the fact that the vestment was not labeled, I believe if not for our quick discovery, that nice memento would never have been seen again. Shop elsewhere if you have the luxury.

    I came to Mt. Hebron when I was just starting to visit historic cemeteries decades ago. Founded in…read more1903, it's considered the Jewish section of Cedar Grove Cemetery, but my memory is that Mt Hebron was much larger, much more impressive visually and with a serene, stately aura about it. I came in the days before Find a Grave. I was motivated by an old copy of Life magazine I had bought, from March 1944. They had a photo inside of the burial of labor racketeer Louis "Lepke" Buchalter, who had been executed at Sing Sing. Mourners are clustered about the gravesite, but in the background, I could see the remnants of the 1939 World's Fair. With a friend, I drove and navigated my way through Queens (not my favorite borough), and, arriving at the cemetery and using the magazine as a guide, eventually found Lepke's final resting place. We took our photos and explored the rest of the cemetery. Lepke was a fascinating figure. From a poor but respectable family, Lepke chose crime as his life's profession and, paraphrasing the words of historian Albert Fried, rebelled against authority at the same time he embraced it. He ran the infamous Murder Inc. with Mafia boss Albert Anastasia and was responsible for much savagery and many murders. (An interesting book is "Pacifist" by Donald Wetzel. During World War II, Wetzel was a conscientious objector and for a time was jailed with Lepke in NYC. Although a gentile, Lepke thought Wetzel was a Jew and began to act almost as a surrogate father to him. Often, Lepke castigated him for his pacifism. Wetzel would later write, "Finally, my patience gone, I interrupted, 'What kind of a Jew am I? No, Louis, you know what kind of Jew I am. What kind of a godd**n Jew are you?' He jerked his head back, his eyes brightened with surprise, and then, remarkably, he smiled. Far from outraging him, something about my angry challenge strangely pleased him. That I'd had the guts for it perhaps." When Wetzel is transferred upstate, "I reached for and found Lepke's outstretched hand, seeing, with absolute disbelief, his face contorted like a child's, Lepke crying, his voice a hoarse whisper, his last word to me, 'Shalom.'") In driving around the cemetery, we saw a mausoleum with the name "Streisand" on it. Barbra's relatives? I assume so. Since Find a Grave, I realize that among the honorable citizens buried here are notable actors, musicians, photojournalists, politicians. Also, other notorious criminals I was chagrined to learn I had overlooked. Martin "Bugsy" Goldstein, a Murder Inc. killer also executed at Sing Sing; Emanuel "Mendy" Weiss, a Murder Inc. killer who was part of the death squad that dispatched Dutch Schultz in Newark in 1935 and also died in Sing Sing's electric chair; Irving Wexler aka Waxey Gordon, a Prohibition kingpin; and Abe Landau, a Dutch Schultz bodyguard who was shot down with his boss. To Mt. Hebron's credit, they don't shy away from that unsavory history. If you visit their cutting-edge website, they offer walking tours such as the Murder Inc. mob tour, the Composer's Encore Tour, the Holocaust Memorial Tour, and the Yiddish Walk of Fame Tour. A beautiful cemetery rich in NYC's history and tradition, it comes highly recommended. I just wish Queens was an easier borough to get to and navigate. It has some of the best, most historic and beautiful cemeteries in NY.

It is a difficult cemetery to drive through. ( see my previous review) ( see pix) . There are restrooms near office. If you need to park , go to the parking area on the left. The one on the right could get you towed. There is a yellow painted strip before the restroom. Where you can temporarily park /wait in car. Flowers not often available laced in this cemetery in leu of rocks. Flower vases are regularly taken out due to water collecting and mosquitoes. Red circles on grave stones are for seasonal care. Gold emblems are for Eternal care. Should delay from scheduled funeral service overlap another crew of workers is there for follow up at other location. Crews wait at site according to scheduled hour. Perhaps this is more than you need to know , as the driving directions and office info are the most important to getting to and around the cemetery.
