Losing a family member was one of the hardest experiences our family has ever faced, but King Fook…read moreFuneral Services made a deeply painful time feel a little more bearable. As this was our first time ever planning a funeral, we had no idea where to begin -- but from the moment we walked through their doors, we were met with compassion, patience, and professionalism. I want to give a very special mention to Joe, who was absolutely exceptional. He took the time to sit with our family and walk us through every step of the process with such care and clarity. What meant the most to us was how knowledgeable and respectful he was about our family member's Chinese Taoist beliefs and cultural traditions. He didn't just go through the motions -- he genuinely understood the significance of honoring their faith and guided us on exactly what we would need to do to carry out the proper Taoist practices and rituals. He made sure nothing was overlooked and that their wishes were respected in every way. Because of Joe and the entire team at King Fook Funeral Services, we were able to give our loved one a farewell that truly reflected who they were and the traditions they held dear. If you are looking for a funeral home that genuinely cares -- especially one that understands and honors Chinese cultural and religious traditions -- I cannot recommend King Fook Funeral Services highly enough. Thank you, Joe, from the bottom of our hearts.

The staff were exceptional from start to finish. A special thank you to Joe, who was outstanding. He was thoughtful, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to help our family. His calm presence and professionalism made a very challenging time much easier to navigate. During this very difficult time for our family, they were professional, compassionate, and incredibly supportive. They handled everything with discretion and care, and their experience was evident in the way Joe guided us through each step of the process. We had countless questions along the way, and Joe was always responsive, patient, and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we felt comfortable with every decision. We are deeply grateful for the care and respect they showed our family and highly recommend their services if needed.

We held my dad's funeral at Aievoli Funeral Home and the whole experience, from the initial inquiry…read morecall to going to the cemetery, was amazing. 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!

I tipped the limo driver in advance as per her instructions and give her the money but he ended up asking for an additional tip in front of your family. She didn't offer the additional money back. Of course the driver denied it. The worst was desecrating my father's body. She used a person unfamiliar with working with clients of color. She tried to light me into thinking it was the church lighting. Black people know what we look like in church with makeup! We ended closing the coffin early because he looks so unrecognizable. She's used person of European descent who was older, he did not provide a haircut and gave his mustache a 70s cowboy look even though we provided a picture. Sylvia had a picture of my dad post cosmetics to "prove" the quality. I of course declined. Who wants to see their father with skin glue on his lips and eyelids. Blotchy make up. No caps underneath the eyelids so he appeared to be squinting. It was a horrible experience. She states the funeral home works with a Haitian community, but that was obviously wrong . As a healthcare provider I am aware that the deceased don't resemble themselves but family and friends didn't know who that was lying in state. This is not my first funeral but this was by far the worst. She will make all sorts of excuses and offer no apology.

De Riso Funeral Home 5012 4th Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11232…read more718-439-6169 Praising an organization that truly comes through and then goes beyond its intended services is not difficult at all. We first heard about De Riso Funeral Home from friends that had used their services many years before we decided to ask De Riso to help us with the burial of our father in 2023. We were highly impressed with their dedication and their focus on making such a grieving moment a manageable and dignified experience. They were meticulous with the myriads of details required in this process, and meticulous and artistic in the preparation of our father's remains. They were flexible and very reasonable with the cost of the arrangements while providing the highest values. Almost two years later, our mother who was in her 90's passed away and although we still resided far away in a different borough, we decided to use De Riso again. The present team, Vanessa, Michelle, and the rest of the staff stressed the same focus and unwavering dedication to what is of importance to a grieving family. This culture of caring and attention to a grieving family's burial needs with such enthusiasm, dedication, and dignity is not something that an organization learns overnight. I can easily state that this is part of a tradition. The industry needs more specialized services like De Riso Funeral Home. They have proven to our friends and family that they possess the understanding, and are consummate professionals in this field.
