The staff is very attentive and professional. Right now it is very soon after burying our Mom (1 day, to be exact) so words are not as forthcoming as they would normally be.

I just don't have words enough to describe just how well everything went and how smooth they made this difficult time for us.... God bless the staff and owners here.... And from the absolute bottom of our hearts we THANK YOU ALL!!!! for everything!!! Especially Alicia!!!! Please keep up the astounding work

There are so many different things to think about and attend to when someone dies, and the people at Duffy's are both very familiar with and very willing to offer you any degree of help you need throughout. Beyond the aid, the viewing rooms and general atmosphere of the funeral home were excellent as well. - Michael J. McFadden

Duffy's clearly a long-held trusted name in such services and so I can't say enough thanks for all they did.

Raccuglia is simply the best and honest people that do the right thing for it's clients, period.

Death is a very real thing, I had made peace and love with death, it is the most natural event that we all are gonna experience and can't escape, so why fear it?... When the Angel of Death knock on our door, there is no way to escape it. Sometimes, I think about the way, when, and how I will die, just being curious, how is my life going to end?... not in a worrying way but more in a curious way. I am surely ready for death, not that I am calling it, but I just know is gonna happen at anytime because it is part of nature to die and go on spiritually. Of course, while I am here in my existence, I do enjoy and love life, with a different point of view, loving and experiencing life in an unconditionally and unattached loving way. Knowing that at any moment, I can be gone, just like that, a candle that shuts off and expires. "If a person lives just one day, 10 years, 50, 75 or whatever number it is, that person has fulfilled his/her life purpose, what it was meant to be, have, and do, on this lifetime" Death is nothing but a liberation of the worldly pleasures and worldly pains, Death is a liberation of the soul. It is absolutely better on the other side, and that I can write it with my whole heart and confidence of knowing so, that the other side is where real living takes place. "We are gonna die, and that's for sure"

Be away from this funeral Home!!! We made a pre-arrangement for funeral services for my father…read more We signed all the documents. After that, we DID NOT receive the bank statements like other funeral homes do. We went personally to the office several times. We called and sent emails to the administrator "Michelle Ortiz" several times. She did not respond or return any of my phone calls or emails. We realized that they did not deposited the money for future funeral arrangements in several moths something that is illegal. They sent us documents and statements barely legible. It looked like a personal account. We could not even read the name and the account number. We requested a transfer to another funeral home, the difference is like a night and day. RG Ortiz Funeral Home is a very SUSPECIOUS business please do not use them for any future services.

Let me start by saying, I never had to do this before. After contacting multiple funeral homes and…read moregetting prices we knew wouldn't be good for our life after as it would drain us a bit, my friend recommended Las Rosas to me. I contacted them and was greeted by an Alex Hugo. He was an absolute professional and helped arrange a very beautiful service at a wonderful price point. Throughout the whole process he was incredibly helpful, kind hearted and professional. The service was perfect and they did a great job on my mom. I am so thankful for this funeral home. They truly made a horrible and dark time so much better for me. I'll never forget you guys. It was hard saying goodbye to my second mom whom I spent 26 years with almost each and every day of my life. She was a part of me, one of the most wonderful people on earth. Las Rosas helped make that goodbye special. I'd truly recommend Las Rosas to anyone.

The program will be held at the meadow near the Main Entrance (which is at Fifth Avenue/25th Street). If the weather condition is bad, a decision will be made at 8:00 a.m. on that day and a notification will be sent via Eventbrite e-mails.

It feels odd writing a review for a cemetery, but I have been here a bunch of times, either as the…read moremain part of walking tours or as part of other walks, such as to Prospect Park, or otherwise at various times of the year. Side note, I am pretty sure it's free for solo people, but if you go with a large enough group, they have a $5 fee per person, which is reasonable. In general, I would recommend coming here in the fall, not just because the weather will be nicer, but also because the trees are beautiful, and winter is nice as well, due to the frozen lake, among other things. The spring is nice as well, but there are better places to see leaves in bloom, as there are more wintery shrubs here. The area is massive, and you could honestly spend many hours going to various corners. There are highlights such as a well-known view of the Statue of Liberty, many sculptures, and graves for people ranging from Samuel Morse to Boss Tweed to Leonard Bernstein to Louis Comfort Tiffany to Henry Chadwick, among others, along with many people from various wars, of course, such as the civil war with one particularly interesting grave having a confederate and union soldier next to each other for reasons. The place is particularly well-maintained compared to other cemeteries I have been to, with the entrance being striking among other things.
