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. They took extra care to find a preacher from my relative's country to lead the services--that was such a thoughtful touch. 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.

The fact that I was able to contact the company after hours was a wonderful asset! I strongly view the Lisovetsky Memorial Home as the company based on the highest customer care foundation. I also would like to add much gratitude to Rabbi Yitzchak Shimunov. The Rabbi had spent his time with me learning about my past father and guiding me through the Jewish rituals. I was very content with his officiated ceremony where he hit all the right notes. At the burial Rabbi Yitzchak Shimunov spoke at length about Jewish beliefs and traditions on such occasions. He kindly advised me on more post burial Jewish enrichments to exalt my father's soul; it added much peace and comfort. Very gratefully, Elena.

My father was ill I was notified by the hospice nurse from the nursing home it could be any day. I reached out to a few well known Funeral Homes and did not like the interaction/level of professionalism or lack thereof especially at such an emotional and overwhelming time. I reached out to the owner David Williams whom I met a the local gym, we always exchanged pleasantries. I had no idea about the process and what it entails. He took the time to speak with my brother and I about the process. I went to visit the funeral home and met with his Funeral Director Tanya. Our paths could not have crossed at one of the lowest most emotional times in my life. I was filled with so many different emotions, anger, grief, sadness, it was just a lot. Tanya stood with me as I went through all these different emotions on our first encounter. The level of empathy, listening, understanding and just great advise she gave, The Universe knew I needed her in those moments. The day my father transitioned they went and picked his body up. They walked us through the whole insurance process and the planning of the funeral arrangements. Malika did a phenomenal job putting the whole program together per our communication. Malika is such a gem. They just made the process smooth and stopping in was always a great experience, exchanging some much needed laughter during that time of grief. The day I went in to see my dad after he was dressed for the funeral, I was overcome with grief but the level of support and empathy my family and I received from Tanya and Malika made the process a bit easier to handle. The keyboard player was just a one woman show. Melvin was always cheerful. Mr. Williams, your staff are true professionals, empathetic, understanding, great laughter(during such low moments) and overall a pleasure to deal with. Our family has since recommended them to other friends. You are all appreciated!

I wasn't totally dissatisfied with the service provided but since death is their business I thought…read morethat they would have been more hands on. I spoke to the receptionists more than anyone else. When I spoke to Mr. Williams about my husband, he said I could come in the next day between 11am and 3pm. I arrived the next day and the only person there that could help me was the receptionist. Maybe I was expecting too much. I was thinking that I would be walked through the process since I wasn't familiar with everything to do. There was a mistake the the prayer cards. Instead of saying Sunrise it said Sunday. I had given a saying that I wanted to be on the cards, the saying was there, but more than I had given them. Couldn't the person who told me that they already had this saying tell me that theirs had a little more to it? I was just expecting more.

This is a family-run establishment. They have been kind, professional, and extremely detail-oriented. My experience with them was everything I have wanted in a tough situations such as this. They have provided high quality stone and their artist was able to match the drawing the portrait of our loved one on that stone. They have completed the job as they delivered the entire finished stone into its assigned spot in the cemetery.

She was very knowledgeable, thorough, and straightforward when it came to explaining the process and how long it would take for the headstone to be complete. This location is type odd in terms of not having a front door. It's similar to a garage opening filled with tons of headstones that are either already made or in the process of being made. It's not the first thing that you want to see when going through this. Definitely going to look into another place or two before deciding on a monument company.

Deep Gratitude for Exceptional Care and Accommodations:…read more To the Management and Staff, the Houston family is writing to express our deepest, most sincere gratitude for the extraordinary care, professionalism, and comfort your team provided during one of the most difficult times for our family. Navigating the arrangements for a loved one is an incredibly heavy task, but the seamless accommodations and grace extended by J. Foster Phillips Funeral Home truly went above and beyond our expectations. From our very first interaction, your staff treated us not just as clients, but with the genuine warmth and respect of family. Every detail was handled with immaculate precision, and the environment you provided allowed us to focus entirely on honoring our loved one's memory without stress or worry. While the entire team deserves recognition, I must place a special spotlight on Erika Hinton. Erika is an absolute treasure, and her support was nothing short of exceptional. During moments when we felt overwhelmed, her calm presence, profound empathy, and meticulous attention to detail provided an immense sense of peace. She anticipated our needs before we even knew how to articulate them, handling every request with grace and a comforting reassurance that let us know we were in the best possible hands. Erika's dedication to her work and her genuine compassion for grieving families is rare and deeply admirable. She is a stellar representative of your funeral home. Please accept this note as a small token of our immense appreciation for everything you have done. You turned a period of profound sadness into a beautiful, dignified celebration of life, and we will never forget the kindness shown to us. With sincere gratitude, The Houston Family
