I needed help finding information about my grandfather's funeral in 1981. I wasn't sure what they…read moremight have on record since it was so long ago, but anything would've been appreciated. I was able to secure what I wanted with the help of Heather Corcoran. She was professional, kind, and knew how to find what I wanted quickly. She went above and beyond to help me and I'm just so thankful. I would recommend Raynor and D'Andrea to any family, because during such a terrible time (death of a loved one), kind and professional employees mean everything. Even if it's been over 44 years! ;)

My Mom's funeral was at Raynor & D'Andrea earlier this week and I must say they did a fantastic job…read morethroughout the entire process. The place is impeccably clean and aesthetically pleasing. The staff was very caring and my mother looked beautiful and peaceful in her casket. Even when I had an issue where my flowers were not delivered on time (my bad - I mistakenly phoned them in to an outside vendor ) they had their personal florist deliver a gorgeous spray in time for the funeral. The deacon and the staff (especially Barbara) were extremely helpful and compassionate making an otherwise painful day a lot more bearable.

Ode to life and love, in the end we are all equal!…read more Thank you to the fundamental principles of human existence and dignity that this funeral home offered to the services of a loved individual. I'm sure all people feel their loved one needs to be protected and respected. We were so happy with the results they extended to our family . We definitely decided to cremate our beloved Mary Lou. All of our expectations were met and fulfilled. Thank you again. The process of losing someone is very difficult. We are at peace and your support was appreciated!

It's been almost two years since my father, A. Webster (April 2024), passed away, and I can still…read morerecall the kindness I was shown while making his arrangements. We had talked in the past about what he thought he wanted, but after a long conversation he decided on a direct burial -- "no fuss, no muss," as he always said. Everyone went out of their way for us. One man in particular -- who himself passed away months later -- made sure the details I provided were perfect. He wore his cap, treated my father with dignity, and was kind enough to place some of my cat's ashes in my father's hands. When I saw my dad two days later, dressed as best as they could in one of his favorite outfits, he looked like he was simply taking a nap. I even made a comment about the florist -- I had asked for one arrangement and they sent something completely wrong, but that was on them, not the funeral home. They closed the lid, and off we went -- just my husband and me in the limo. When we arrived, the Director read a beautiful poem and made sure I was safe walking on the ground, which was still soft from a week of rain. Even on the ride back, he checked on me, got me to chuckle, and made sure I wasn't alone in the heaviness of the moment. When we returned, I handled the last few things that needed to be done. Within a day or two, I had the certificates in hand, and we shook hands. It was perfect. Everyone I've known who has been in their care has been treated personally and with such attention that I am confident, when my time comes, I want them to take care of me as well. I know it will be done just right.

Calverton even offers a "golf cart" assist for individuals not able to safely walk deep into some of these grave areas to visit their loved ones. Just stop by the main administrative offices on your way in and let them know the grave you are headed to, and then drive to that grave. They will meet you there with a golf cart that can drive between the rows and bring you straight to your loved one's grave. Hugely helpful for anyone not able to safely walk on the grass, which is sometimes uneven, slippery, or just too far into the area. From the staff in the office to the individual who last met us with the golf cart (shout out to Matthew!), everyone has been kind, sensitive, and supportive.

Probably best that I spare y'all the sadnesses of this day. But I can tell you that sadness and…read moredepression isn't just a state of mind, it's far more. Foolish me, Mr. Machismo - Mr. Opinionated would tell others (thankfully not the deceased) *tell your problems to a therapist or Jesus, then go run a mile, you won't be sad after that.* Gosh what a foolish thing to say. Walking through the parking lot it started to rain again, one of those slow and musty New York rains that has a certain meanness to it that ya just can't define. And it gave the parking lot an oily greasy look to the blacktop pavement and the street beyond had an unhealthy glow. This young man, three years my junior, brought me eggplant parmesan every week because I told him how much I loved his. He did use three chesses Locatelli Romano, Parmesan and Granna Padanna, delivered hot to my door. He wrote my mother one of the most sincere Get Well letters years ago after she had sustained an injury. To kneel up upon him was about as sad as I've been in a good while, my female friend was flowing like Niagra, not a dry eye in the house, but enough of this. If cremation wasn't my choice, you can be rest assured that I'd be a handsome and proud corpse in any coffin within the walls of this beautiful funeral home, it didn't smack of sadness, the paintings, the six foot oval in wall fish tank, flowing staircases, ornate carpeting. Then to enjoy watching from above ground (maybe below, not completely sure about that just yet) my pictures being fingered and smiled at by my loved ones -- laughing and crying with my favorite music playing throughout. Lots of the Greatful Dead was strumming away with words that glow on this sad evening. My family owns a bunch of plots atop a beautiful hill with a variety of trees and they aren't thrilled of "that crazy cremation idea of yours" anyone wanna buy a grave? I'll hook you up -- but then your stuck with my family for eternity and I can assure you, that probably ain't no picnic. I am beginning to rethink this decision and it's in part due to Branch's modern touch. One wide and long room dwarfed any of the Brooklyn and Queens showing rooms, appropriate social distancing, cards to write find memories of the deceased. I filled up two which revolved around sneaking him into some clubs years ago, I was 22 he was underage and I had the best (fake) extra ID. It was the right of passage to be indoctrinated into acceptance with the older crowd and some light good 'ole boy hazing, only two are chosen and I was one when I was the young whipper snapper -- shocking, right?

In addition to her name being misspelled on the casket plaque, a larger issue which consterned mourners was the unacceptable embalming and cosmetic treatment of the remains. Her hair and facial features didn't resemble the reference photos in the least, as if there was little attempt to match the image of the dead to the living. Of course, funereal preparation of corpses is known to be an art and not a science, but there was little art on display -- certainly nothing worth the fee paid for Branch Funeral Home's service.
