From our very first conversation, they treated us not just as clients but as family. Their process is so thoughtful and compassionate, and every step was handled with such tenderness and care. They patiently answered all of our questions, no matter how many we had, and always made sure we felt heard and understood. Their warmth and guidance brought us so much reassurance at a time when we needed it most. What truly set them apart was the genuine care they showed in handling every detail. Sept and Samantha made a difficult time much more manageable, ensuring that nothing was overlooked and that our family felt supported at every step.

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.

At the worst of times, Fives provided not only excellent service, but also immeasurable comfort…read more Every request was met with an answer of "Of course." and everyone was just so genuinely kind and empathetic. The last 2 years encompassed too many people passing, some timely, others not. We had recently been to Fives for a family member's service. Fives was originally chosen for it's transparency in pricing for a direct cremation. There were no hidden fees. Everything was included. They didn't try to up sell us on anything, yet we were given the option to have anything we wanted handled for us. We also appreciated that their rooms were available in a variety of time frames, and that we didn't have to decide right away. Mike's service was untraditional, with his urn set on a hillock of moss and wildflowers that our family florist made from his widows' vision. There was no problem at all with the longer than usual set up or break down time, in fact they were pleased to have everything reflect Mike so well. Weeks later my husband passed suddenly. John was not a fan of traditional funerary rites, so originally we only wanted transportation from the coroner's office to the crematorium. Or so we thought... but of course it's the funeral director that helps provide the Death Certificate and knows how to make complexities navigable while I was out of my mind. What will the ashes go in? Do we pick his ashes up ourselves? What does he come home in? Where do I find something nicer, meaning an urn? Who will transfer the ashes? Will there be an online obituary and place for people to find information on where and when the service will be? What about cards and a sign in book? Once again, Shawn and Liana were wonderfully kind and generously supportive in providing all the information I needed to honor my husband's memory in a way that he would have liked, even though this would include the event taking place somewhere else. Ultimately most of the things I had questions about were services that they already covered. With the support of everyone at Fives, and our favorite catering hall, my husband had a 4 hour cocktail hour, with an open bar and 1/2 hour service in the middle to honor what an amazing individual he was. His cards quoted the man directly saying, "When I go, don't stick me in a box and put me on display. Just burn me and have a party." followed by If I touched your life in some way, I hope it was in a way that made it better. Fives and everyone there made a bad time of our lives better. We are grateful.

My father passed away in his nursing home in Oakdale this week and while we were expecting it to…read morehappen, it was quite sudden at the end. So we needed to arrange for a funeral home to pick him up the same day, prepare him, bring him to the grave site and manage the process with the cemetery. The nursing home recommended Fives along with a few others which they had a good experience with. So I called around and Liana at Fives was very helpful in walking through every step and answering my questions. Their pricing was very clear and they emailed me a quote within minutes of me asking. They were reasonably priced, especially compared with funeral homes closer to the city and they offered the same range of services that met our needs. So we selected them. We drove out to see my father and collect his things, and Shawn (the owner, carrying on from his father) met us there, answered a few more questions and was very kind and professional as he moved our father out of his room. Fives was able to arrange for the burial the very next afternoon at our cemetery in Queens. So that was very efficient. Shawn met us at the cemetery office before the scheduled time and handled everything with them once he had all the relevant info from us. At the grave, Shawn accompanied us to the plot and offered a few words to get us started which was nice as we were doing the ceremony ourselves with a very small group. He also reminded us of some of the nuances of the ceremony which was helpful. So our experience with Fives was as good as you could hope for in a situation no one looks forward to. Highly recommended that you consider them. While our situation was relatively simple, but on a short timeline, based on our experience, I'm confident Fives would do a very good job with even more complex situations. And if you are reading this because you need a funeral home/director, I wish you the best.
