It was a very stressful time for me and my family. We had a wake at Colonial Funeral home. The wake…read morewas beautiful and the staff were friendly and welcoming. When it came time for me to request a Death Certificate I was told that I would have to order it online. That was very strange and very unprofessional to me. I was told there were 3 of them and another family member had them. I was willing to pay what ever the cost was. A very kind person that worked at the cemetery told me the funeral home gives out 15 at a time, for families that need them to close out banking accounts and for insurance purposes ect. I am totally shocked by the behavior of the Under Taker Michael Lanza who takes pride in his website to tell others how sympathetic he is to grieving families and just shook me off by telling me to order on line. In a time of mourning and grief I would have hoped for him to be more helpful and understanding. People that are in mourning don't deserve to be treated like that. For this one reason I do not recommend this place. I was not trying to go behind anybody's back. I was friends with my ex-husband for over 40 years and I held his hand till he took his last breath so you know nothing about me. How dare you say that about me, you need to respect your elders because one day you're going to be there too. I'm glad to hear that there's no friction in your family. With a personality like yours, and a lack of respect for people, seems like the only reason you are employed there is because of your family. Good luck to you in the future. P.S. FYI I do not have any grandchildren. so wherever you're getting your information from is false. Looks like you're having a lot of fun going back-and-forth with me. I think you're the one that needs therapy because all you see is death every day. My advice to you is to be a much happier and mature individual. I hope life treats you good in the future and everything you wish for comes true. May God have mercy on your soul. Amen I wonder if your Father knows how Rude you are to the grieving families that come to your establishment. Not the proper way to treat people. Not good for your business.

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 tried calling the office the next morning to check on the maximum capacity of their rooms, but the staff was unable to provide proper information. On the evening of my church member's wake we had a huge turnout and the space was definitely not set up to tend to groups larger than 150 people. The MAIN downside was trying to show a DVD on the life of my church member that was deceased. The 30 inch TV was set up in the middle(waiting) room. Imagine your TV is in the living room but you're in the bedroom (this was how I felt). The guests were seated in three different rooms and the microphone system was ineffective even in the main room where the casket was placed. The set up, IMO is not up to standard to other funeral homes that I had visited in Brooklyn and Staten Island. With the cost they are charging it feels like Highway Robbery to someone whose loved one had just died, possibly going through a severe emotional downfall and is vulnerable to being taken advantage of financially. From that experience, I learned to check around for the different costs on funeral services in Brooklyn. You never know sometimes these info may come in very hand to your family or friends.

My ex showed up with 5 family members, ready to bury my son, that I raised alone- with no say of mine. I found out about it, and showed up at the Funeral home. They went out of their way to help me have a fair say- and not be outnumbered. When it became clear that I was being put under attack, the director Joanne had everyone leave the room except my ex husband and I, who then came to an agreement within 10 minutes. They were very sympathetic to my loss as well as the difficulty I was given by my ex, his new wife, and some of his family, yet very professional. During my time of weakness and vulnerability, they made sure they gave input and made compromises themselves in order to lay my son to rest peacefully. The way I was treated was far more respectful than I'd expect from even other funeral homes in my own neighborhood. RIP My son, my best friend....Joshua Avery 4/24/90-10/18.12

Every moment was handled with dignity, grace, and class -- a true reflection of the life we were honoring. A special and heartfelt thank you goes to Megan, our funeral director and granddaughter of John Vincent Scalia. Megan is an exceptional professional -- passionate about her work, highly experienced, and incredibly dedicated. From the first conversation to the final moments of the service, she handled everything with precision, warmth, and care. In a time when it's difficult to even think straight, Megan makes the process simple and worry-free. She coordinates every detail seamlessly, lifting the burden off your shoulders while guiding you through decisions with empathy and expertise. She takes great pride in what she does -- and it shows. Her calm presence and thoughtful suggestions, including innovative touches to honor our loved one, made all the difference. Megan is a beautiful representation of her grandfather's legacy, and I have no doubt he and the entire Scalia family are incredibly proud of her. If you are ever in need of funeral services and want to be treated with compassion, professionalism, and care during one of life's most difficult times, I cannot recommend John Vincent Scalia Funeral Home -- and especially Megan -- highly enough.
