Respect, compassion, dignity and empathy is given to families by the entire staff. Thank you for being there for so many members of my family.

In a very trying and painful time for our family, our experience with Farenga Brothers was a…read morecomforting one. I was not able to personally manage any of the details of our son's funeral. My family worked with them to make sure that we were able to honor our child the way we wanted. The staff at Farenga was very helpful and above all, understanding and kind. These qualities were so important in this difficult time, where all we could do was grieve. We were so distraught and in a lot of pain that I was dreading our baby's funeral. It was something I never imagined I would have to do. However, the funeral service was a beautiful moment of peace. I didn't expect to feel this way yet it was the perfect way to pay respect and honor our baby's physical body and the amount of love he brought to all of our lives. I truly wouldn't have been able to experience this without my family and Farenga. I am extremely grateful for their genuine care and understanding, in particular Sal and Lisa, who I had the pleasure of interacting with directly. Whilst I wish we could all avoid going through the loss of a loved one, if you ever find yourself in this darkness, I highly recommend reaching out to Farenga Brothers. Their service has the human element which can be hard to find nowadays. And this is what makes all the difference. It did for us and I pray it does for you as well.

Personally I have used their services twice and both times was treated with the upmost respect and professionalism. Gloria goes above and beyond to make sure everything goes smoothly. She makes herself available the minute you meet her. She treats you like family. When my aunt passed I went to Gloria and requested services. I explained it was my first time and needed guidance. She stepped right in and told me what needed to be done made suggestions and everything went smoothly and my aunt looked like an angel. I reviewed condolences and complements. Shortly afterward my mother got sick and I knew I would need Gloria's help again. I went to her and again she greeted me warmly and we were able to set everything up. She told me to call her at anytime and not to worry. When the time came around 11:00 pm I made the call. I was expecting to leave a message but to my surprise she answered and remembered me. I was relieved and grateful. Again everything was beautiful and went smoothly. I speak about my experience from time to time and always send people to Porta Coeli. Thank you Gloria for your valuable assistance and most of all for your kindness. God bless you.

For every one of the four funerals we have had there, Porta Coeli has handled all of the pertinent aspects. From their Funeral Director to their Drivers, each time their services were performed in a caring, sensitive and professional manner. The fee for their services are reasonable and more than competitively priced. I believe in giving recognition when recognition is due. In a time of loss and grief, ease the process by contacting Porta Coeli San German Funeral Home.

That's what we found here. It took me a while to get around to writing this, but I'm glad to be sharing good news about Pelham Funeral Home. They were respectful, warmhearted people who asked what we wanted, thoughtfully offered us options and didn't try to up sell like some funeral homes might. They're sensitivity was truly impressive, from start to finish. The funeral home is also nicely furnished, immaculate and well managed. We were impressed at what a nice multimedia presentation they could prepare with photos and memories. They were really dedicated, patient and helpful, using photos from various family members to craft some beautiful memorial booklets, related printed items and video screen images for the memorial/wake. Clive, a dignified, outgoing and very friendly man originally from Ireland, is the best. He was reassuring right from first contact and we actually enjoyed talking with him during the planning. We enjoyed his warm personality and clear interest in doing things right. That says a lot. Clive's colleague Hanah was also wonderful during all of the planning and at the funeral. She kept track of everything and, like Clive, treated us like friends. They're professional, warm and outgoing. If you're looking for a place that will do things right with class, respect and humanity, this is the place. They put us at ease, treated us like family and helped us all get through some difficult times. I am deeply appreciative of that.
