    Calvary Cemetery - The location where part of "The Godfather" was filmed.

    Woodside

    Located in the Woodside section of Queens, established in 1848, I was only here a few times years…read moreago, but it has always remained a vivid memory. It covers 365 acres and is divided into 4 separate sections. In some significant ways, it's a quintessential urban cemetery- a sprawling, densely-packed, but historic necropolis imbued with an eerie beauty. If a city's history is contained in its cemeteries, NYC's history is very much contained here. I searched out the monument of pioneering hero policeman Joe Petrosino, the police officer who fought organized crime in the early 20th century and was killed in Sicily in 1909 while on a fact-finding mission. In another part of the cemetery is the massive mausoleum dedicated to his antithesis in every way-- Joe the Boss Masseria, who was killed in 1931 in a hit set up by Lucky Luciano (I recommend the book "The First Family" by Mike Dash, an exhaustively researched, fascinating history of NYC's Mafia that covers the careers of Petrosino, Masseria, and others). I also have to confess I sought this cemetery out because of my love for the film "The Godfather" (which is a mythology of the Mafia in much the same way "Gone With the Wind" was a mythology of the antebellum South, but in spite of that, "The Godfather" remains one of America's greatest films). It was here that Don Corleone's burial scene was filmed. I found the exact location where it took place. At the job I had at the time, I became friends with an older Orthodox Jew who had been best friends with actor Richard Castellano (Clemenza) and he recounted for me that Castellano and others of the cast, including Richard Conte, had been sneaking nips from a flask that Castellano was carrying on that very cold day; they had snuck down between the mausoleums to "micturate" when nature inevitably called. When I found the site, I halfway expected to find a stone with the words CORLEONE chiseled on it (I didn't). (A nice side story-- when I was a kid and became angry at my adoptive parents, who were in actuality warm, loving people, I sometimes, in my youthful stupidity, fantasized about being adopted into the Corleone family like Tom Hagen, the Irish-German orphan. When I recently told that to my oldest, best friend...we grew up together obsessed by the movie...he said, "Don't worry; you're MY Irish consiglieri!") A lot of famout people are buried here, including Tony Bennett, Dom De Luise, Una O'Connor (not so "famous," but she was the screaming crone in "Invisible Man" and several other old-time Universal horror movies), Tony Sirico (The Sopranos), Governor Alfred Smith, Mayor Robert Wagner, Texas Guinan (the speakeasy manager during Prohibition who "welcomed" her guests by shouting, "Hello, suckers!"), and others. There are also the thousands of graves belonging to honest, hard-working citizens whose efforts helped to transform NYC into the booming metropolis that it became, and still is. For Catholics, Calvary is a sacred place of reverence, mourning and remembering those who have traveled the path we'll all follow someday. For respectful visitors without personal connections to Calvary (like me), it's a rich and fascinating trip through history, and it also offers some glorious and magnificent views of the NYC skyline (especially of interest to the photographer, or...perhaps...the painter).

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.

    Not happy with their new location. The service felt more like a business transaction and all they…read morewanted was money. During the first viewing the director immediately came in and wanted money. Like really you couldn't let us grieve a little bit? The woman who worked the desk came over to us at 8:4pm telling us we had to tell our loved ones to leave. Lady that's your job. I'm so sorry we are taking up your time. We paid till 9pm viewing show some respect. The next day a limo was sent to us. Do you know it wasn't a limo it was just a Lincoln town car that only 7 people could fit it. No one could look at each other we were just packed in the car. No water or tea, nothing. This Quinn really isnt what it was before and I recommend you choose a different funeral home. QUINN died once it moved location. The parking is a complete joke and you get rushed during the services. Very displeased and shocked this is what Quinn turned out to be.
