It was a very stressful time for me and my family. We had a wake at Colonial Funeral home. The wake…read morewas beautiful and the staff were friendly and welcoming. When it came time for me to request a Death Certificate I was told that I would have to order it online. That was very strange and very unprofessional to me. I was told there were 3 of them and another family member had them. I was willing to pay what ever the cost was. A very kind person that worked at the cemetery told me the funeral home gives out 15 at a time, for families that need them to close out banking accounts and for insurance purposes ect. I am totally shocked by the behavior of the Under Taker Michael Lanza who takes pride in his website to tell others how sympathetic he is to grieving families and just shook me off by telling me to order on line. In a time of mourning and grief I would have hoped for him to be more helpful and understanding. People that are in mourning don't deserve to be treated like that. For this one reason I do not recommend this place. I was not trying to go behind anybody's back. I was friends with my ex-husband for over 40 years and I held his hand till he took his last breath so you know nothing about me. How dare you say that about me, you need to respect your elders because one day you're going to be there too. I'm glad to hear that there's no friction in your family. With a personality like yours, and a lack of respect for people, seems like the only reason you are employed there is because of your family. Good luck to you in the future. P.S. FYI I do not have any grandchildren. so wherever you're getting your information from is false. Looks like you're having a lot of fun going back-and-forth with me. I think you're the one that needs therapy because all you see is death every day. My advice to you is to be a much happier and mature individual. I hope life treats you good in the future and everything you wish for comes true. May God have mercy on your soul. Amen I wonder if your Father knows how Rude you are to the grieving families that come to your establishment. Not the proper way to treat people. Not good for your business.

It was as easy and as stress-free as it could be under the circumstances. We worked with Laura, our funeral director, who was extremely accommodating and helpful. Our requests were simple and nothing was pushed on us which we really appreciated. This was our second experience with ROH, having had our mom's funeral there, which was equally positive. Because of our streamlined requests for cremation without any extra trappings the cost to us was very reasonable. We had a beautiful video which was part of the service and a large room to welcome the visitors. The memorial service was lovely. Laura did a fantastic job leading the ceremony and invited others to share their stories and memories. I can't say enough. ROH is a real gem in the Riverdale community.

I didn't want to deal with anyone who would sell me something or people who were cold. Leo F. Kearns gave me everything I needed and more to plan the best funeral for my mom. Yrcania is genuinely phenomenal. She made everything feel natural, each conversation was focused on what would represent my mom the best. She never pushed me to do or buy anything, she was responsive to all my needs and communicated everything. I appreciated that they only hold one wake at a time so you feel like the space is really yours. One thing that really stood out to me is that my parents are from 2 different faiths and she ensured that both were represented at the wake. I didn't even consider it and appreciate that she would do that. On the day of the funeral, she ensured everything went smoothly and guided us through each part of the morning. Throughout this process, I never felt stressed or overwhelmed and I felt like my mom was safe and honored in their care. They provided the most professional service and I highly recommend.

The facilities are beautiful and provided a very comforting atmosphere for us to gather. They managed every logistical detail seamlessly, from coordinating with the church and cemetery to organizing the limousines. Having a dedicated parking lot was also a huge plus, as it made things so much easier for our guests. I want to specifically mention the incredible job they did with my mother's appearance. She looked just like herself, and the quality of the embalming and her overall presentation brought our family a great deal of peace. They also handled all the flowers and necessities with such care. The staff was incredibly caring, accommodating, and supportive, doing everything in their power to make the process easier for us. Having a team that is this professional yet deeply empathetic made a world of difference. We felt truly looked after and highly recommend their services to any family in need. Thank You!!

Ron not only worked with me to plan a wonderful funeral for my wife, but he worked tirelessly to get her body back from Morocco, where she had died suddenly. And Kayla picked my wife's body up from the airport late into the evening and prepared her body for viewing and burial well into the morning. The funeral was a complete success, with photos of my wife on a screen that funeral goers saw as they entered the building and a room large enough to hold all attendees. Ron also engineered the burial of my wife's body at the Town of Rhinebeck Natural Burial Ground and gave me advice on the perfect rabbi for the gravesite service. I cannot say enough about the help and attention I received when I needed it the most.

Prior to her death, I had been dealing with Ron Rogers, who was a pleasure to deal with and explained everything clearly to me. When I called the funeral home shortly after mom's death and left a message with the answering service, Michael Lonza, the funeral director, called me back in maybe 10 minutes. His initial words were not only very compassionate, but extremely calming. Long story short, he basically told me not to worry and he and his team would take over removal of her body and begin preparing it for burial. Mind you, this funeral home did all of this work without any contract or check given to them. When I went to the funeral home later in the morning to do the paperwork, Ron was already working with the cemetery to arrange a burial for the following day as well as getting death certificates from New York City. Although he is not Jewish, Ron is a real mensch. He even arranged for an excellent rabbi for our family for the service and some nice cards to give out to people at the burial. I express my gratitude to Manhattan Jewish Funeral Home, and especially Ron, for making a difficult time in our family's life a lot easier. I cannot recommend this funeral home enough.
