Pillars beyond the casket gave a perceived depth of further distance, not of another world, one…read morevery much of our own. Laid to rest was an acquaintances father, sturdy and gentlemanly the kind soul that he was, he left his earthly body at the celebratory age of ninty four. The man who received us was very fair and frail with the flaxen hair of a Nordic man, his mannerisms were well enough and spoke beautifully, more nobly than his job - assumingly not the owner As the parish priest spoke, I drifted back to the pillars defying the notion of any possibility of being called upon as if sitting in class, yet he did. Something about Star Wars, father and son, God the father and Jesus - I'm beginning to think that my desire to listen in most situations is rapidly eroding, even with men of the cloth. I'll need to address this sooner than later. Easy to locate off the Cross Island Pkwy upon exit as, as my buddies 2016 Mercedes-Benz S550 navigational system took us on a local, displeasing scenic route on our way to the wake. Waze it home partner. Barring the extreme heat inside, I found the funeral homes apoearance and staff to do well for the family in mourn.

Our funeral director, Joseph Camolli, was beyond helpful and professional; his attention to the details of an otherwise overwhelming process made for a truly memorable tribute. We are thankful to him, James and other staff members for their attentiveness and services including a thoughtfully selected addition to the casket. The facility was clean with a convenient, ample parking lot; easy accessible throughout for physically-challenged attendees. One suggestion would be an upgraded / stronger wifi/router signal as in these times streaming services will become the 'new-norm'. We would like to commend them for a job well done, from our first appointment to the burial. Rhona Mason-Fogah

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.

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.

Very classy, quiet funeral home, pretty on the outside and on the inside (I did not take pictures…read moreout of respect, but you can go to their website at http://kraussfuneralhome.com/ and click on "facilities" to check it out). Very traditional-looking, of red brick supported by white columns, and with floral wallpapering inside. A good, respectful place to hold a service for those within the Long Island area. The employees were very courteous yet solemn, holding doors open for all, and thanking them for coming. I went there for my friend's funeral and it was well-put together and quiet. We had the whole funeral home to ourselves. There was a decent amount of parking in the rear, and considering it's New York where parking's always a challenge, it was stress-free, which is helpful when dealing with an already stressful, heartbreaking event as a loss.

This place is a dump…read more Furniture was ripped or quite clearly hasn't been changed in at least 50 years (really) The sold tacky jewelry and other crap in the front room. Didn't offer hand sanitizer, masks or anything for COVID safety. They did give me a bottle of hand sanitizer after i asked with the promise i wouldn't put it on their fine wood tables (im not kidding) The woman who seemed to be in charge argued with my grieving mother about pictures she swore we never gave to her. Two seconds later one of the employees brought them out right as they were having the conversation. No apology. Didn't even feel the need to vacuum between the days we went. I think they have lost their passion for this work. Go elsewhere
