Disgraceful Experience with Caribe Funeral Home - Do Not Trust Them With Your Loved Ones…read more I am writing this review with deep sadness and frustration. Caribe Funeral Home handled my late uncle's body, and their complete lack of professionalism and care turned an already painful time into a nightmare for our family. My uncle's wife was given only two hours to view his body before the public viewing and funeral service. This limited time was nowhere near sufficient to properly assess his appearance or request necessary changes. His face looked horrible poorly prepared, with no attention to detail. There was no opportunity to ask for improvements because of how rushed and restricted everything was. To make matters worse, his body had to be transported to a church for the service, and by the time we arrived, his mouth had already started to open. It was disturbing, heartbreaking, and completely unacceptable. No family should have to witness that kind of deterioration during a final farewell. But it didn't stop there. When his body arrived in Guyana, where he was to be laid to rest, his mouth was completely wide open. The presentation was absolutely shocking. We had to pay additional money to the funeral home in Guyana to completely redo his mouth and face. They did an excellent job far better than anything Caribe provided proving that proper care was possible but simply not given. Caribe Funeral Home's handling of my uncle was negligent and disrespectful. Their actions caused unnecessary emotional pain and financial burden for our family. Their lack of compassion, rushed process, and poor quality of work are inexcusable. I strongly warn anyone against using Caribe Funeral Home. If you value dignity, care, and peace of mind in your time of grief, take your loved one elsewhere.

Heartbroken and Deeply Disappointed: A Family's Pain Made Worse by Caribe Funeral Home…read more Our family has faced an unbearable amount of grief in just a short period--burying three beloved family members within the last year and a half. We recently suffered another heartbreaking loss, and in our time of mourning, we turned once again to Caribe Funeral Home, hoping for compassion, professionalism, and care. Sadly, what we experienced instead was an utterly unacceptable series of failures that only deepened our pain. When trying to resolve yet another issue regarding the rented venue for the repass with upper management with a man named Bob, he was dismissive, argumentative, unapologetic and blatantly disrespectful. If he was to be considered upper management with this type of behavior, what is to be expected by staff? From the beginning, we were met with dismissive and unkind employees who lacked the empathy and warmth that should be foundational in this industry. It was clear that customer service and sensitivity were not a priority for most of the staff. Rather than feeling supported, we were made to feel like an inconvenience at a time when we needed guidance and compassion the most. There were numerous miscommunications, which caused confusion and stress at every step of the planning process. The most shocking of these was the change in service times on the very day of the burial--a change we were never informed about. This is not a minor oversight. It is a deeply disrespectful and disruptive error, especially during such a sacred moment of farewell. As if the logistical missteps weren't enough, the actual service was marred by an absent pianist, despite us having paid for musical accompaniment. The pianist left in the middle of the service to attend another event, leaving us without the element of comfort and celebration we had carefully arranged in honor of our loved one. This lack of commitment was not only unprofessional--it was heartbreaking. What's more, the final viewing of our loved one was tarnished by an inexcusable error: makeup had spilled onto the white dress she was wearing. This dress was chosen with love and intention to reflect her purity, grace, and dignity. To see it stained due to carelessness was both distressing and infuriating. In the midst of all this, there was one employee named Patrick who told us that he was one of the owners, but later shared that he was not, was the only person who showed kindness, consistency, and genuine care throughout our experience. We are immensely grateful for this person's presence and professionalism, and we sincerely hope their efforts are recognized by the management. Unfortunately, one good individual cannot make up for the overwhelming lack of compassion shown by the rest of the team. Given our history with Caribe Funeral Home and the depth of our grief, we hoped to be treated with the utmost respect and care. Instead, we were met with indifference, mismanagement, and emotional negligence. This most recent experience has left us deeply wounded and dissatisfied, and it is highly unlikely we will ever return should the need arise again in the future. We hope this review serves not only as a warning to others, but as a call to action for Caribe Funeral Home to take serious, reflective steps toward improving their standards. No family should have to endure this kind of treatment while mourning a loved one. -- A Heartbroken Family

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.

From the very beginning, they treated us with so much kindness, patience, and genuine compassion--it truly felt like we were being cared for by family. In a time filled with heartbreak and confusion, they brought us comfort, guidance, and peace. Every detail was handled with such care and thoughtfulness, allowing us to focus on honoring our loved one instead of worrying about the process. They made something so heavy feel just a little bit lighter. There are truly no words that can express how grateful my family and I are. We will never forget the love and support they showed us. I wholeheartedly recommend Miraglia Funeral Home--because what they provide goes far beyond a service, it comes from the heart.

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.
