His continual reassurance that I didn't need to worry about anything other than focusing on my family is all I could have asked. He was personable and gave us ample time and space to make decisions and still managed to give a turn around time of less than a week. I would absolutely recommend him and his services with zero hesitation.

I can attest that what the McCorry family says on their website is true -- they are the most…read morecompassionate, accommodating, and genuinely elegant family in this business that I have ever met. I've been to many funerals and, unfortunately, have had to arrange several myself. The McCorrys are everything they claim to be and more: kind, tactful, fair, and deeply understanding. They went above and beyond to help me make everything beautiful yet affordable, at a time when I was already devastated and struggling financially after losing my mom unexpectedly, at a time I had no work, during COVID. They worked with her burial benefits whereas the place mom had always wanted to be attended to (like many Cuban American from Union City) refused. Their compassion was not just professional -- it was human. In an industry where that can feel rare, the McCorrys stand out as extraordinary. I will never forget their kindness and will never go anywhere else. And I'm sure Mom would agree!

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.

But when they retrieved the body of my loved one they took the sheets and the pillow upon which he rested. Later, when they returned the sheets, the pillow was missing. The pillow was a family heirloom and I requested that it be returned immediately. I was informed that it had been discarded. I asked for Plaza to retrieve it immediately and they said it was "unsanitary." It was in perfect, pristine condition when it left our home. Plaza did not return the pillow, despite repeated pleas. Plaza claimed that the decedent 'spit up' on the pillow, and I told them I still wanted it back no matter its condition. They refused. The fate of the pillow should have been the consumer's decision, NOT the funeral home's. This part of the series of events was very upsetting for our family.

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.

My mother passed away and Mario and his staff at Barquin made the worst days of my life bearable.

At a time when your world is crashing in on you Barquin is there to guide and advise with YOUR needs and concerns above all else. The room we had was amazing, from the lounge area to the reception area, the 100 seat viewing room, elevator for your family, video editing of our photos in to a well produced video (which last minute before guests arrived they edited out a painful image that got in by mistake), covered parking, to its wonderful staff, I would rely on Mario to handle any funeral needs you unfortunately find yourself needing.

I cannot say enough about the Plaza Jewish Community Chapel.
