The minute you walk through that door to the minute you leave the parking lot your loved one is in the best of care with the staff and members at this funeral home. They really took all the pressure off my family and allowed us to grieve in the way we needed to do so. All the directors and staff members were very warm hearted and caring. Without even asking the staff made about 10 hard drives of photoshop the immediate family and it was a very thoughtful and meaningful gesture. I couldn't have been more satisfied with the professionalism they showed during this hard time.

Thank you for everything, my father was honored in the most beautiful way.

In my 65…read moreyears, I have been to many funeral parlors and I can say, without a doubt, that the professionalism, accommodations, compassion and organization of Brueggemann's staff was wonderful. They made a very challenging time less painful and we were all able to truly celebrate the life of our father, husband, uncle, mentor and friend. The mass at the Church and 45 minute processional to the cemetery was handled with solemnity and precision. We felt we were guided gently through the process without being rushed or pushed. There was reason to be pushed because of the inclement weather and the funeral following behind us at the church. However, we were shielded from all of those concerns. The staff also collected all of the planters, flowers, pictures and mementos together so that we only needed to pick them, as well as thank you notes up the following day. In addition, they presented my mother with a lovely remembrance piece of my father. Pamela DeRiso Riedl

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.

Probably best that I spare y'all the sadnesses of this day. But I can tell you that sadness and…read moredepression isn't just a state of mind, it's far more. Foolish me, Mr. Machismo - Mr. Opinionated would tell others (thankfully not the deceased) *tell your problems to a therapist or Jesus, then go run a mile, you won't be sad after that.* Gosh what a foolish thing to say. Walking through the parking lot it started to rain again, one of those slow and musty New York rains that has a certain meanness to it that ya just can't define. And it gave the parking lot an oily greasy look to the blacktop pavement and the street beyond had an unhealthy glow. This young man, three years my junior, brought me eggplant parmesan every week because I told him how much I loved his. He did use three chesses Locatelli Romano, Parmesan and Granna Padanna, delivered hot to my door. He wrote my mother one of the most sincere Get Well letters years ago after she had sustained an injury. To kneel up upon him was about as sad as I've been in a good while, my female friend was flowing like Niagra, not a dry eye in the house, but enough of this. If cremation wasn't my choice, you can be rest assured that I'd be a handsome and proud corpse in any coffin within the walls of this beautiful funeral home, it didn't smack of sadness, the paintings, the six foot oval in wall fish tank, flowing staircases, ornate carpeting. Then to enjoy watching from above ground (maybe below, not completely sure about that just yet) my pictures being fingered and smiled at by my loved ones -- laughing and crying with my favorite music playing throughout. Lots of the Greatful Dead was strumming away with words that glow on this sad evening. My family owns a bunch of plots atop a beautiful hill with a variety of trees and they aren't thrilled of "that crazy cremation idea of yours" anyone wanna buy a grave? I'll hook you up -- but then your stuck with my family for eternity and I can assure you, that probably ain't no picnic. I am beginning to rethink this decision and it's in part due to Branch's modern touch. One wide and long room dwarfed any of the Brooklyn and Queens showing rooms, appropriate social distancing, cards to write find memories of the deceased. I filled up two which revolved around sneaking him into some clubs years ago, I was 22 he was underage and I had the best (fake) extra ID. It was the right of passage to be indoctrinated into acceptance with the older crowd and some light good 'ole boy hazing, only two are chosen and I was one when I was the young whipper snapper -- shocking, right?
