As a 3rd generation member of the United Hebrew Community of NY, the organization has saved my…read morefamily thousands of dollars at the time of a funeral. Their membership plans did not only save my family money but alleviated the concern of not knowing what to do and the worry of being taken advantage of at a time of need. The staff at United Hebrew ensured that everything done was kept within the tradition and the deceased's wishes. This was all done while maintaining the highest standards, respect, and dignity. The staff was available to "hold my hand" throughout the entire arrangement and post-funeral process, and I know they do the same for all their members. My grandfather had the foresight to join United Hebrew Community, to then encourage my father to join, and he has done the same to me. There aren't enough words to thank the organization for the peace of mind and savings of money my family and I know countless others have had, as a result of their or their family member's United Hebrew memberships. I encourage others to contact them and join this amazing organization.

Recently, I lost my mother. I was still traumatized by the funeral service I had 25 years earlier…read moreat the Jeremiah C. Gaffney funeral home and vowed to never make the same mistake. I have no idea if the same people run this service but I finally have an outlet to say my piece and hopefully let this go. I was six months pregnant when my baby brother died under suspicious conditions. He was 21 years old. Jeremiah Gaffney himself came to my home and assured me that he would handle all the particulars of this funeral and I would not have to worry. He also told me he would take pictures of my brothers body to prove that there were no injuries that caused his death. He claimed if he had been punched or hit with an object, blood would Pool on that location and he would be able to see it when he viewed the body. Our biggest concern was that we were Catholic and we didn't own a plot. And we were scared of the expense. We were not financially prepared for the finances of a funeral. He claimed he searched high and low and offered us one choice, claiming that we would otherwise have to go to New Jersey to be within a price pint he was offering. This was 1995 and we paid $2200 for a mausoleum is Long Island. We lived in Brooklyn. Having no experience, this seemed reasonable. Then the funeral happened. First, we asked to have the funeral near our home so he made arrangements with a nearby funeral home. Thank God we did that because his service never picked us up to go to the home. We walked each day and night. Second, the limousines had no shocks. We bounced and had the most uncomfortable ride ever. But what was most disheartening was he never told our priest that we were in the funeral home next door. So the priest never arrived to do the service at the funeral home, devastating my mother. The priest had traveled all the way to Inwood (I thought it was Far Rockaway) to find that no service was taking place and arrived back at his church too late to perform the service at my brother's coffin. It was one debacle after another. There was no coffin plaque, there was no cross. Also, we had to request the prayer cards be placed out and I understand they were rude to the owners of the actual funeral home we were renting. After my brother was buried, these items arrived bent. And we had two BLACK polaroids presumably of my brother's body. I was so ashamed that I had failed my mother and brother in all of these ways. The funeral was all paid in cash as was required. I have gone to bed for a long time hating this man for the shit show that was my brother's funeral. As a Catholic family, these what might be seen as little problems, mattered immensely. They were integral to our faith. I was further reminded of my brother's funeral in burying my mother. This time, I was had the financial means to do whatever I wanted. But what was most jarring was I was given a list of cemeteries all over Queens, Brooklyn and Long Island that had plot price points starting at $1000. We visited St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale, LI where I was shown perfectly fine resting places for $1000. I asked was this cemetery here in 1995 and the consultant was like Yes, of course. I was reminded of the pain my mother went to the grave, knowing her son was not put into the ground as she had believed would return him to heaven all those years ago. I will never understand why this man duped me into purchasing a mausoleum that he led me to believe was a godsend find all those years ago for more than double than prices in 2017. This man is the most dishonest person I had ever dealt with, taking advantage of a pregnant woman who had suddenly lost her closest friend. The person who had recommended him to me was my family's close friend and a mentor for me. I never forgave him, nor talked to him again after my brother's funeral. He died without knowing why I ended all contact with him. I will now go through the expense of moving my brother's body so he could be near my mother's body at St. Charles Cemetery. Perhaps the young boys he had standing in the January cold all those years ago are now grown men who have taken over their father's business. I will never forget my mother being upset at her own son's funeral as she begged this man to put coats on them because it was unbearable for her to watch them shaking in the January sun zero temperatures and he refused rather than help my mother feel at ease. My mother nested these boys in her coat instead.

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.
