The young man from the funeral home who directed our loved one's service played the piano and sang like a pro--he was gracious, empathetic, and quietly dignified.

Please move away from money grubbing funeral homes like the one in Canarsie that everyone goes to -- they don't care about you nor your family member. Harmony proves that you can provide an important service to your community without emotionally nor financially blackmailing families to pay for unnecessary costs. Their prices are extremely fair and their service and attention to detail is top-notch.

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!

Disgraceful Experience with Caribe Funeral Home - Do Not Trust Them With Your Loved Ones…read more I am writing this review with deep sadness and frustration. Caribe Funeral Home handled my late uncle's body, and their complete lack of professionalism and care turned an already painful time into a nightmare for our family. My uncle's wife was given only two hours to view his body before the public viewing and funeral service. This limited time was nowhere near sufficient to properly assess his appearance or request necessary changes. His face looked horrible poorly prepared, with no attention to detail. There was no opportunity to ask for improvements because of how rushed and restricted everything was. To make matters worse, his body had to be transported to a church for the service, and by the time we arrived, his mouth had already started to open. It was disturbing, heartbreaking, and completely unacceptable. No family should have to witness that kind of deterioration during a final farewell. But it didn't stop there. When his body arrived in Guyana, where he was to be laid to rest, his mouth was completely wide open. The presentation was absolutely shocking. We had to pay additional money to the funeral home in Guyana to completely redo his mouth and face. They did an excellent job far better than anything Caribe provided proving that proper care was possible but simply not given. Caribe Funeral Home's handling of my uncle was negligent and disrespectful. Their actions caused unnecessary emotional pain and financial burden for our family. Their lack of compassion, rushed process, and poor quality of work are inexcusable. I strongly warn anyone against using Caribe Funeral Home. If you value dignity, care, and peace of mind in your time of grief, take your loved one elsewhere.

They have a quick turn around time to have your loved one cremated rather than waiting weeks to get your loved one the rest that they truly need. They were also very flexible with the payment method specially when you need to get the process moving. Any questions I had was answered with confidence or if they did not know, they would look for the answer and get back to me as soon as they were able. If you are going through what I am going through, I highly recommend Inpeace as the premier cremation service without any doubt.
