I am very thankful the Hillebrand Funeral Home was there to take care of my loved one and help us…read moresay our final goodbye to him. The entire staff was kind, professional, and patient. Tara guided us through the entire process and explained each aspect of the funeral and viewing. Additionally, we were undecided about a few things but Tara gave us the space and time to finalize those decisions. She gave us her honest opinion and helped us make smart decisions about logistics. Tara held our hand throughout and didn't make this feel like a business transaction. Due to COVID-19, there were many restrictions at burial grounds within the city. I am extremely appreciative of how hard the team worked to find options for us that gave us the appropriate closure. I was able to sleep at night because I trusted the family with my loved one. They treated him with respect and care. We were especially touched when we left the funeral home and drove by our home for one last goodbye to the home. The funeral director, Brenden, stepped out of the car and placed a rose on our front step. He supported the entire family during the services and ensured everything ran on time. As a Guyanese Hindu family, we felt that the Hillebrand staff and family honored our traditions and helped us do everything that was necessary for my loved one's last rites. The facility was very clean and comfortable. It is beautifully designed. It didn't feel dark or gloomy. Additionally the parking lot was spacious enough to fit all of the guests. Even after the services I was amazed at how flexible the staff was when I needed to finalize details. My family and I left behind pictures and a few items from the memorial. They packaged everything with care and didn't pressure us at any point about pickup. If you are reading this review, I am sorry that you have faced a loss. Please know that I can confidently recommend this funeral home because the entire staff was caring, professional, and comforting.

The facilities are beautiful and provided a very comforting atmosphere for us to gather. They managed every logistical detail seamlessly, from coordinating with the church and cemetery to organizing the limousines. Having a dedicated parking lot was also a huge plus, as it made things so much easier for our guests. I want to specifically mention the incredible job they did with my mother's appearance. She looked just like herself, and the quality of the embalming and her overall presentation brought our family a great deal of peace. They also handled all the flowers and necessities with such care. The staff was incredibly caring, accommodating, and supportive, doing everything in their power to make the process easier for us. Having a team that is this professional yet deeply empathetic made a world of difference. We felt truly looked after and highly recommend their services to any family in need. Thank You!!

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.

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.
