    Used this funeral home in 2013 when my mom passed as it was affordable and received excellent…read moreservice. 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.

    We had a good experience here. When my mom passed I had no clue of what to do or where to go. I…read morespent a day googling funeral homes and cemeteries and chose St. John's because it's a Catholic cemetery and not that far from where my dad lives so it would be easy for him to get to. The front desk staff was fairly friendly and the gentleman that helped us purchase the plot was very helpful and walked us through everything. He was also patient with me, in terms of decision making because I was in a total fog since it was barely 48 hours since everything happened. Once we finished the paperwork the gentleman walked us over to the actual location of the gravesite and showed us. On the day of the funeral everything went seamlessly and they did a great job of coordinating with the funeral home. They coordinated well with monument place when we purchased a headstone later in the year. It is definitely expensive but worth it for what you get. I appreciate that maintenance is included and we don't have to pay that on top of everything else you pay for. The location of the gravesite is perfect, about 2 mins from the entrance on Metropolitan. I appreciate the cleanliness of this place, every time we visit Mom's gravesite is clean as well as the surrounding areas. They also communicate well throughout the year, they will send you a flier for seasonal flowers as well as other mail for other things that may need to be addressed. If you are a Catholic and have a Catholic family member that needs a burial I would recommend this place.

    People die to get in this place…read more The Original Owner of Parkside sold out to Dignity more than a year ago. It's kind of like those mergers you hear about where a big fish consumes a small fish. In this case, the owner of Parkside reached his retirement years so he was looking for a buy-out. He was a responsible man who would return your calls that I chatted with a couple of times. I enjoyed chatting with him. After the merger, they closed down the original Parkside of many years on Queens Blvd and then combined operations with other Funeral Homes at this new location on Queens Blvd listed above. Economy of scale. My family and I did business with Parkside many times over the years--not Dignity--so not sure if things changed. Probably did. Reality is that there is nothing pleasant about Funerals and Funeral Homes. I had to pick out a casket and burial plan for my mom per her instructions before she past on and take care of the business end of things. I highly recommend doing that at least a few weeks in advance of death or longer if the person knows what they want--get all plans finalized and paid in advance is the way to go. New York State law requires that the funds go into escrow until the death. You won't lose them. The guy I was dealing with at the home was a retired NYC cop. Working at these homes was a retired cop doubling dipping kind of job. And they know who to call if you need heavy lifting pall bearers. And they make arrangements for a secure hearse and limo rides--retired cops part-time on those gigs too. People turn over cash at funeral homes and there can be violence sometimes as families meet who have not seen each other in a while or are unhappy with the will or someone trying to take jewelry off the corpse during viewing. They can tell you 100's of stories. It's a good thing to have cops there to make sure things go right. But I was also part of a funeral where the widow did not pay in advance for the funeral and on the day of, we were locked up in a room at Parkside negotiating and writing checks--you don't want to be there. I still have bad memories from that. Don't do that to yourself please. And as far as Caskets go--if your budget can handle it--try to get a nice casket. You don't need the Gucci, Burberry or YSL model with the logo on the side, just a nicely appointed one--that looks classy. Costco sells caskets too--not sure how that coordinates with the Funeral Home? And with Costco if you are unhappy with the performance of the Casket--they offer a lifetime return policy.
