After that, we DID NOT receive the bank statements like other funeral homes do. We went personally to the office several times. We called and sent emails to the administrator "Michelle Ortiz" several times. She did not respond or return any of my phone calls or emails. 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. RG Ortiz Funeral Home is a very SUSPECIOUS business please do not use them for any future services.

When my granddaughter and I arrived at Arthur's from Dallas, TX the next day, I knew immediately that we were at the right place. Alan, and Arthur Dybaniwski, went far beyond the call of duty to assist us at a time when we were overcome with grief and desperate for support and assistance. From working with the medical examiner to get her death certificate in 48 hours, to sending a courier to pick up the documents, to guiding us through the surrogate's court requirements, to her cremation just a few days later, they compassionately served our all needs. I was especially grateful that Alan told me about the documents needed to go through security with her ashes. I rarely write reviews but I absolutely had to wirte this one!

Arthur and his assistant director Alan were incredibly professional and caring from start to finish. Every time we would start to ask about something, they would say that they've already taken care of it. Just amazing experience. Highly recommended for anyone in need. And honestly, I could could go on and on about how caring and compassionate they were in our time of need, but you get the idea...call them, they'll take care of you and your loved ones.

This past weekend they handled my Grandmothers funeral memorial.

The funeral chapels are in our hometown of Williamsburg and provide a calm and cozy setting. It's not easy to plan a funeral but Mr. Anastasio makes the process a pleasant and warm one. If you are looking for a funeral chapel here is where you need to go. They make you feel like family

Then in 2019 when my uncle passed we went back thinking we'd get the same quality service we received before, boy was I wrong. The moment we walked in we were met by pure ratchetness. Dudes that looked like they belong elsewhere eating wings and a so called funeral director (not the same one I dealt with in 2013) just as ghetto. No tact no empathy. I requested a change of casket since the one my cousin chose wasn't up to par and I was told it couldn't be done bc allegedly the body was already in the casket which I suspect wasn't true. Finally the morning of the burial they were over an hour late to pick him up and go to the cemetery. No reason given just kept telling us they were on the way. Unless this place has changed management and staff in the last 7yrs I would not use this place. I'd rate them no stars but that's not possible.

I was pretty much in shock when I contacted First Avenue Funeral Service in October from another…read morestate to make arrangements for a funeral. From the start they were compassionate, gentle and kind. There was no attempt made to upsell their services. They quickly took possession of my brother before I arrived in New York and it was a comfort to my family that he was no longer in the city morgue while I flew out to NY. They made the entire process of his wake and cremation as simple and gentle as possible. Mr. Lee was the one who prepared my brother for viewing. Mr. Lee is an artistic genius, due to throat cancer my brother did not look as he once did but Mr. Lee worked a miracle and despite the circumstances of his death my brother looked as if he had just settled down for a nap on my sofa. I half expected his ankles to be crossed as was his habit in life. While searching for a funeral home I found out that the one my family traditionally used was having legal issues over quality and was forced to look elsewhere to arrange funeral services. I'd contacted several funeral homes before deciding to go with FAS due to their location and was surprised to find that they were the least expensive out of all the funeral homes I'd contacted. They were budget friendly without being skimpy. Located in an area with several funeral homes, they are small, not so flashy and easily overlooked but they provide wonderful service and are kind and compassionate. I highly recommend them and will use them again should the need arise.

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. They took extra care to find a preacher from my relative's country to lead the services--that was such a thoughtful touch. 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.

What stood out even more was the incredible compassion, honesty, and integrity they brought to every step of the process. My mother was adamant about not wanting a traditional funeral home experience, and I am so deeply grateful that Sparrow was in my community. From our very first conversation, I felt genuinely heard and cared for. The team brought our vision to life in a way that completely exceeded my expectations. The send-off they created for my father was filled with beauty, meaning, and integrity. It was a sophisticated and heartfelt celebration of his life that warmed my heart and honored him in the most thoughtful way. I wouldn't look anywhere else for funeral services. Sparrow is everything you could hope for ,and then so much more. I feel like I not only found a trusted service provider, but also true friends.

The Funeral home director John was so incredibly nasty assuming I wanted to hurt the family in some way. I explained my position, he grew nastier, saying he would not allow me to invade their privacy, I again asked if he would pass my info along. I never asked for any information about the family NONE! The disrespect this man showed me said the world has changed in a horrendous way. If I had a loved one who passed, I wouldn't let this funeral home touch them... That man let me know who he actually is in a 3-minute phone call. I gave them 1 star because to write this review you have to, otherwise he would be missing stars...
