For my friend's funeral with my attending last week's visitation, major thanks for their services…read more Their very thoughtful works through preparation, venue, information (no one wants to sweat the details in such difficult times), obituary and media prep (slideshow, etc.), considerateness in all the details of flora and placement and such design in such times, lobby directing, and overall quality of venue all help to ease the distractions so the family, friends, and guests can focus on the difficult emotions at hand. Duffy's clearly a long-held trusted name in such services and so I can't say enough thanks for all they did.

After that, we DID NOT receive the bank statements like other funeral homes do. We went personally to the office several times. We called and sent emails to the administrator "Michelle Ortiz" several times. She did not respond or return any of my phone calls or emails. We realized that they did not deposited the money for future funeral arrangements in several moths something that is illegal. They sent us documents and statements barely legible. It looked like a personal account. We could not even read the name and the account number. We requested a transfer to another funeral home, the difference is like a night and day.

It feels odd writing a review for a cemetery, but I have been here a bunch of times, either as the…read moremain part of walking tours or as part of other walks, such as to Prospect Park, or otherwise at various times of the year. 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.
