My family had been using this funeral home for, pretty much, my entire life. When my father passed…read moreaway suddenly, it was the hardest thing I've ever had to experience. Since Martin's is the only funeral home I was familiar with and couldn't otherwise think clearly, I immediately called Martin's to make arrangements for my father on the day he passed away. I don't want to mention any names, but the person who organized my father's service was extremely brash. When meeting with her to make the arrangements, I did not like her attitude at all. It was almost like it was a huge inconvenience to her because we asked for a later funeral service (6 pm-7:30 pm) but I begrudgingly moved forward with organizing my father's service. I'd like to add that her words were, "It's late, but I'll make it happen." On the day of the service, I was saying my last words to my father, and the woman interrupted my speech. She also struggled to run the Zoom service which was very distracting because she did not know what she was doing. I was later informed that friends and family came at around 7:00 pm to catch the last half hour of the service, and she locked them out and would not let them in. Then at 7:15, she made an announcement, "It's time for y'all to leave. Thank you!" I couldn't believe all of this was happening. I was embarrassed and upset. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. If the organizer did not want us to have the service at 6 pm, she should have made that clear instead of saying she will "make it happen," then treating my family and friends the way she did.

Many of the elders of my family were in Virginia and unable to come to the funeral. Many of them struggled with Zoom but Tiffany was wonderful with them. I got calls and texts about how patient and lovely she was especially with those who were having a difficult time. She even called my aunt the following Monday and instructed her on how to use or create a zoom meeting going forward. They made the overall process streamlined and this was greatly appreciated. They are very kind and compassionate in our time of need.

Driving into the cemetery, after a rather long, arduous drive on parkway north, we entered a beautiful, peaceful catholic cemetery.. so lovely, I thought. Unfortunately, I had to deal with two women working in the cemetery office. As we approached the counter, the workers took their sweet time to address us. Then unfortunately, this troll-like woman, whom I believe was Lydia, rummaged through our paperwork with much distain and rudeness. She was without a doubt, the most ignorant, and despicable person I unfortunately had to encounter. Believe me, these were especially trying times for myself and family. However, the other employee came to the counter and resolved the issue, which I might add, was caused by their office giving the funeral director of Evergreen Funeral Home, Middletown,NJ., incorrect or not specific requirements needed for the paperwork. Here's a thought Lydia, if you are so unhappy being employed by the Archdiocese, Gate of Heaven Cemetery, in which you deal with bereaved families , you should seek employment more suitable to your demeanor and personality...such as a garbage depot. ja

Want to say "Thank You" to Father Joe, the new Chaplain at the cemetery. When I dropped by the…read moreMausoleum to say a prayer in the chapel I noticed a table set up near the entrance where Father Joe had a sign introducing himself as the Chaplain, offering to say a prayer for those whose names could be written on paper provided and asking visitors to take one of the crosses on a mirror on the table. I planned to return to the Mausoleum after visiting the graves of my relatives to get a cross before leaving. While I was at the gravesite of a loved one, a car pulled up and Father Joe introduced himself. He requested that I write a name down of a loved one who he could pray for and he gave me a Holy Spirit Pin to hold onto. He felt like so genuine a human being and meeting him lifted my spirits and felt so comforting. Father Joe seems like a truly welcome addition to Gate of Heaven and it is so wonderful to personally experience how he is making himself available for spiritual guidance to visitors

And when I called Mia at the funeral home, I was told that they were closing due to the holiday weekend. I asked if I could please go to arrange my father's funeral. They simply said , please come down so that we can help you. If that don't speak respect and compassion, I Don't know what does. They greeted me at the door and even made the staff members return in order to get the process started They accommodated us in every single way possible they went out of their way to make sure that we were satisfied and comfortable with all the arrangements not to mention That they made my father look amazing.

The…read morenext morning after the passing of my Mother in Law (Paula Diaz/R.I.P.) the owner had the cemetery set up, the Catholic Church arranged(not our first choice due to covid-19 but was able to get 2nd choice) many churches not doing funerals due to Covid-19, all the vehicles needed, prayer cards ordered for day of funeral, and all complete with no worries. D'Bari was extremely beautiful, clean, and newly decorated. D'Bari Funeral home was the 4th funeral home we called because the funeral by our homes never answered or returned our phone calls but D'Bari Funeral Home answered and instructed us on every format to be done prior to coming to them. One note within 15 minutes of releasing out Mom to the funeral home(D'Bari) they were there professionally dressed and polite(caring) and took her straight to the funeral home. The day of the viewing(one day). It was set up beautifully and Mom looked beautiful and brought tears to us all. The owners, director, drivers and pallbearers formed a circle and did prayers with us before going to the cemetery it was really special, they were all professional. helpful, and caring. I highly recommend D'Bari Funeral Home in Little Italy of the Bronx and we were all happy we used them. A+++
