Visit Dates: September 27, 2017 to September 29, 2017…read more My family chose Fullerton to have a wake for my mother as she recently passed away. They were pretty helpful to us but there were two things I did not like so I have to give it four stars and not five. My first issue was the Sunday after she passed away we showed up to the funeral home and no one was around to help us. We thought they were open for business until 4 PM but maybe that was our fault and we misunderstood things. I was not happy to put off the arrangements for one more day but when my sister spoke to the funeral director over the phone he did say we would be able to have the days we wanted for her wake and funeral which was Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We met with the funeral director on Monday and he went over all our choices with us and explained our options. I let my family choose what they wanted to do. My family tends to be bossy specifically one of my siblings and I didn't want to cause more angst as we were grieving so I stepped back to the be the Indian and let everyone else be the chiefs. They opened up both Chapel A and B for my mom I guess they figured we'd be busy with my mom having four kids and they were right. They did a pretty good job arranging the room, and the service we held for my mom. The second thing I disliked was the make up job they did after embalming her. I felt she could have looked a little better. They made her look like she was sleeping which was good because it would have been pretty bad if she looked blue but I just disliked the make up job. They did a good job handling her burial as well. My dad wanted pall bearers but they explained that according to NYS specifically on Long Island they had to wheel the coffin and pall bearers weren't really needed except for a church service. However when it came time for them to load my mom in the hearse various family members including myself and one of my sisters helped slide the coffin out of the funeral home and into the hearse. It was pretty funny I felt like we were giving my mom a semi-comedic send off during a sad time. Overall except for the make up and a delay in availability I was happy with Fullerton and the job they did.

I suggest anyone looking to work with Metropolitan just call them on the phone and you'll get a very quick and professional response. Ultimately, I went with another place because of better location for our group. How I get to a rating of 3 stars: 5 for prompt response, minus 1 point for poor website functionality, minus 1 point for being in the middle on price (not the best but definitely not the worst).

Where to begin? When my Father-In-Law was placed in hospice and we first spoke with the director…read more(Lincoln), he was extremely kind and assured us that everything would be taken care of when the time came. For now, be with your family and take the time you need. It's hard writing a review for a funeral home but I feel this is necessary as the time itself is beyond difficult to have to navigate and you want to make the best choices for your loved one. Every Director we encountered thereafter (Sapphire, Michael and the 2 Director's for the evening services) made our family feel special and heard. My father-in-law was so well taken care of (as was our family) from the first visitation to sending him home to the Dom. Rep. We truly didn't have to worry about anything and our family can never thank all of the incredible Director's who took such good care of us enough. They all went above and beyond to make this transition for our family feel respectful. For that we are forever grateful. Thank you!

Firstly, Margaret is a gem. She was so helpful and kind during this very painful season for my…read morefamily and me and we couldn't be more grateful. She handled our loved one's ashes with care and ensured we had everything we needed. As for the remaining staff there that day, a dark haired man, Roger or Rob, was very unkind towards my family and me when picking up our loved one's ashes. His demeanor and behavior towards us made an already sad experience worse. He was very cold and I was ready to write it off until there was a painfully noticeable difference in the engagement between my family and another woman who was there about a loved one as well. When you lose a loved one, you hope to be treated with kindness and compassion. While I can understand that everyone may not have the capacity to do so, given the line of business this is truly unacceptable. I hope that going forward, EVERYONE who walks through the doors of Macken Mortuary is met with the kindness and compassion they deserve.

Horrific experience…read more I accompanied a friend to pick up the remains of their spouse today and it was one of the worst encounters in recent memory. We walked in and were greeted by a man (without a mask) with a, "Hey, what's up, guys?". The casual and insensitive tone was a bit jarring but not a big deal. But the transactional nature of the process was. We were treated as if someone had accidentally dropped a delivery at the wrong address and we were mildly inconveniencing him by picking it up. When another friend asked the man to kindly put on a mask, he was told (not once but twice) that he was welcomed to wait outside. Due to great restraint, nothing else was said but my widower fried was clearly confused and distressed. Very quickly, another gentleman stepped in to finish the "transaction", which tells me this was not the first time this level of disrespect had happened. The whole wretched experience of picking up the remains of a loved one was made surreal by an insensitive and uncaring man who has clearly been doing this too long. I highly recommend trusting your loved ones and their families anywhere else.

The knowledge they had and research they did to make sure that we were able to bury our grandchild brought closure to the entire family and gave us a place to visit and mourn and talk to our little one. That wouldn't have been possible Without Tom and William's advice and guidance. We will be eternally grateful and will never use another funeral home other than McCourt and Trudden..

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.
