This was the second time I was in the inner circle of planning arrangements, and the closest family member.

I never thought I'd be writing a five star review for a funeral home, but here we are. If not for…read morethis business and their care and kindness, an extremely difficult time would have been impossible to bear. When it became evident that my mother was in her final days, we considered other funeral homes in the area, but despite the lack of reviews, the Wantagh Abbey has a stellar reputation for over 50 or 60 years, so we decided this would be the place to handle arrangements. My father had one request: that we also arrange for my grandmother who had passed 8 years ago, to finally come out of the basement and laid to rest (yes, you're reading correctly. Don't worry, she was cremated). We're admittedly a weird family when it comes to death and I can't tell you how 8 years had passed without figuring out a place for grandma, but with ashes you always have these grand plans for (illegal, don't worry we didn't do it) spreading in magical or important places. Or putting in a piece of jewelry. You get where I'm going with this. The problem was that we didn't have a cremation certificate for some reason, so while dealing with my mother's arrangements when she passed exactly one week later from our first planning visit, all kinds of hoops had to be jumped through and the Abbey went above and beyond to help us in this pursuit (it was not easy). I Doug, the Funeral Director, and his staff couldn't be more helpful and kind throughout the week of planning for my mom's wake, funeral (wish we would have just kept it all to here as the Catholic Church truly failed my mother with her funeral) and burial arrangements. They even recommended a five star florist (Numa's). Mom was laid out in the one large room (currently they only have one wake at a time). The space is not overbearing, rather almost comforting with plenty of types of seating from chairs to couches and loads of little tables, easels etc for photos and mementos. They assisted us with our USB for a photo stream and provided us with poster board for photo collages. What I also appreciated: no upselling to the Caddy caskets (or is that just done on TV? I think of Six Feet Under...) They show you all options and let you make your decision. We combed through the options and found the perfect rose gold casket for my rather glitter and glamour loving mother. Other stuff to know: They have a dedicated parking lot that's across the street. The other place in Wantagh we considered did not have off street parking. It's also literally a block walk from the Wantagh LIRR station. It's super convenient for your friends and family who wish to pay their respects. Thank you, Wantagh Abbey, for everything. I hope not to use you again for a long time, but it's comforting to know you're there in times of need.

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.

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.

This location was easy to find and had street and parking lot options to choose from. Personally opted for street as I knew I was running in for only a bit. The lot didn't seem that big, and in my mind save it for the family that is there the entire time. Location like many others was clean and conformable upon entry. Even the restroom (universal for all) was super clean and kept up well. What I found unique and different at this location which compelled me to post a review, was that eventhough not a mega sized locations with multiple rooms (in use at same time, usually), this one seemed very personal able, and have a second floor (basement level), which was a playroom type of space for kids. That's right...no fear parents of dreading to bring your little ones with you to say your goodbyes, as they can be brought in to see family and then escorted downstairs to ride out the time you want to stay and be with family safety. I thought this to be pretty different and unique. Who knows maybe other locations have something similar and I never noticed, but this time totally jumped out at me as being totally note worth.

They were also very flexible with the payment method specially when you need to get the process moving. Any questions I had was answered with confidence or if they did not know, they would look for the answer and get back to me as soon as they were able. If you are going through what I am going through, I highly recommend Inpeace as the premier cremation service without any doubt.
