I am writing to highly recommend Lewis Monument for creating a headstone. The stone was completed…read moreperfectly in spite of my location in Massachusetts and the location of the gravesite in New York. Mr. Michael Lewis worked closely with me and responded quickly to my many calls. He helped me redesign the stone twice and was very patient. He offered good advice as to the size of the stone, coordination with other family headstones and details. In the end, I purchased a headstone that was engraved with my mother's handwriting and carried the same floral design as another family member's stone. Pricing was straightforward. The headstone turned out perfectly!

I rarely write reviews, but wanted to express my gratitude to Mike Lewis and his team for the…read morebeautiful and tasteful headstone and engraving he created for my beloved wife, whose unveiling was last Sunday. Mike patiently, and compassionately, went through multiple iterations with me, and sent me many sample photos and layouts before we arrived at the final version, including a couple of well-placed small paw prints (as my wife was an animal lover) and a lovely eternal flame. The end result was perfectly executed, and I feel it somehow captures the warmth, artistry and sensitivity of the woman I loved so deeply. Purchasing a monument and inscription comes at a very sad time in our lives - Mike's compassion and professionalism made the process a little easier with a rewarding result.

I've been sitting on this review for awhile now. Our family had used Caggiano's last April for my…read morefather in law's services. They were amazingly kind and accommodating then. Unfortunately recently we had to plan my cousins services right after Christmas so we contacted Caggianos again. They were again very helpful and kind...Then the most terrible situation happened, eight days after my cousin suddenly passed my sister also passed away suddenly and tragically. Not only was Michael and Pat and all the workers here so helpful, they offered us their unwavering support through this entire process. We ultimately decided to have all the services for both family members within a three day period. Michael and Pat were there for us from beginning to end. We couldn't have had more perfect people to help us during the worst time of our lives. It is impossible to explain my sincerest gratitude and appreciation for everything they did for us. They felt like family and they treated us that way. I've never felt so taken care of by people who we didn't know well before these tragedies. Our limo driver Joe was also so kind and helpful throughout the day. We were all in such a daze and had such a hard time getting through everything. Without their support and love I don't think we would have made it through the way that we did. I can't say enough good things about this funeral home and the people who work here. This review doesn't even do them justice. Thinking about how supportive they were beings tears to my eyes. I hope whoever is seeing this review decides to use Caggianos during their time of sorrow.

I recalled when my dad passed over 24 years ago, we used someone that took care of basically all of the things required for a respectful service and burial. I asked my brother 'who did mom use to bury daddy'. Fairhaven on Fulton Street My late evening/early nighttime call to Mr. Sheppard was returned immediately as I was in the hospice unit at MJHS in Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn. 'No worries Ms. Wyatt' I was told as my mom lay across the room already gone home. We will contact the facility and take it from there'. That helped because it was after business hours and knowing someone responds after 7pm or later makes it less weird to do this business. I felt as if we were at 2am, I would have received a returned call and comforting response to ease my thoughts. A day later, a brief meeting and call with my sister to share the family wishes included an exchange of information. We picked a date, and they provided everything else at quite a reasonable price based on our needs and wishes. Even a place for the repass was recommended when we couldn't identify somewhere close to the church where we held services. The docs and the arrangements are a huge part of selecting someone knowledgable but in the end it's about the things like being sensitive to the needs of the guests of the family, providing an atmosphere that respects the deceased. Someone who can receive flowers and acknowledgements and make sure they are present at the church. The Fairhaven Funeral Chapel did an outstanding job for my inexperienced family at A time we were broken. The services were outstanding, memorable and were more like a celebration of life than morbidity and loss. I have told my niece to use them for me when the time comes. They are wonderful and I am proud to be their Yelp reviewer and and answer any questions posed to me. Do not hesitate to use them. They are also culturally sensitive so they have a broad and knowledgeable reach which helps also very much. Though we are black and baptist, I would trust them no matter my race or religion, burying locally or shipping remains. They do it all. Thank you to the Sheppard Family for making something painful more comforting
