Everyone we worked with, Bruce, Pat, Jimmy, Mike, and others who I didn't get the names of, were extremely sympathetic throughout and we never felt pressured by them; they made sure the process was easy for us and that everything went smoothly during this difficult time. Communication was great and they always made us feel like we were priority even though they were working with multiple parties--I know they value each client and their service is phenomenal for everyone who chooses them. There's plenty of parking, clean restrooms, and just a comforting environment. My aunt who had attended funerals held by another funeral home who share the same space as Aievoli commented that this was by far a better experience. I will highly recommend Aievoli to anyone who will need funeral services in the future!

A close family friend recently passed away and McLaughlin & sons handled the transport to St Patrick's church and also to St Charles Cemetery ( there was no wake) The gentleman who served as Pall Bearers were just wonderful in every aspect. They took part in the Mass at both locations, and were also very gracious, kind, respectful, professional and, yes, personable. The staff at this funeral home really were helpful to my friends family during a very stressful time. So i felt the need to show a little Yelp recognition to a long time running Brooklyn establishment.

De Riso Funeral Home 5012 4th Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11232…read more718-439-6169 Praising an organization that truly comes through and then goes beyond its intended services is not difficult at all. We first heard about De Riso Funeral Home from friends that had used their services many years before we decided to ask De Riso to help us with the burial of our father in 2023. We were highly impressed with their dedication and their focus on making such a grieving moment a manageable and dignified experience. They were meticulous with the myriads of details required in this process, and meticulous and artistic in the preparation of our father's remains. They were flexible and very reasonable with the cost of the arrangements while providing the highest values. Almost two years later, our mother who was in her 90's passed away and although we still resided far away in a different borough, we decided to use De Riso again. The present team, Vanessa, Michelle, and the rest of the staff stressed the same focus and unwavering dedication to what is of importance to a grieving family. This culture of caring and attention to a grieving family's burial needs with such enthusiasm, dedication, and dignity is not something that an organization learns overnight. I can easily state that this is part of a tradition. The industry needs more specialized services like De Riso Funeral Home. They have proven to our friends and family that they possess the understanding, and are consummate professionals in this field.

Side note, I am pretty sure it's free for solo people, but if you go with a large enough group, they have a $5 fee per person, which is reasonable. In general, I would recommend coming here in the fall, not just because the weather will be nicer, but also because the trees are beautiful, and winter is nice as well, due to the frozen lake, among other things. The spring is nice as well, but there are better places to see leaves in bloom, as there are more wintery shrubs here. The area is massive, and you could honestly spend many hours going to various corners. There are highlights such as a well-known view of the Statue of Liberty, many sculptures, and graves for people ranging from Samuel Morse to Boss Tweed to Leonard Bernstein to Louis Comfort Tiffany to Henry Chadwick, among others, along with many people from various wars, of course, such as the civil war with one particularly interesting grave having a confederate and union soldier next to each other for reasons. The place is particularly well-maintained compared to other cemeteries I have been to, with the entrance being striking among other things.
