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.

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.

My mother had documented for my sister and I how she wanted to have her homegoing services handled…read more She did this to make it easier on us. So when that time came one of her wishes was to have Owens Funeral Home take care of the arrangements. When my mom passed, she was at a nursing home. When I contact Lilly Owens, she was compassionate and caring, acknowledging what we were going through. They immediately took possession of Mom and began the process of working with us to make all the arrangements. Before going with Owen I did some checking and Owens was the only funeral home that had upfront pricing on their webpage, It was recommended by my Mom's pastor, and it was directly across the street from Mt. Olivet Baptist Church which is the church that Mom was a member of and my sister and I grew up in. Now, whomever you go with to take care of your loved one, here are some options to help keep the cost down: - Don't buy a casket from the funeral home: Go to an online retailer to buy the casket because the The FTC Funeral Rule requires that a funeral home accept a casket purchased from a 3rd party. My sister and I purchased our Mothers casket from Costco (Yes...Costco sells caskets). - Create your own programs: My sister and I used an online service (Disciple Press) to create the programs for a fraction of what the funeral home wanted to charge plus we could ensure everything was accurate For our mothers service we ordered 4 Limos (including the mileage from the church to the cemetery in the Bronx and back), Pallbearers, a floral spray plus all they had to do to make mom look great for an open casket funeral. Everything was perfect. Overall they treated us with grace, dignity, respect and compassion throughout the process. I could not have asked for more.

Review of Owens Funeral Home - 216 Malcolm X Blvd, New York, NY 10027…read moreWe came to this funeral home during one of the most painful moments of our lives, simply wanting to lay our mother to rest with dignity, peace, and care. Instead, we were met with cruelty, carelessness, and a complete lack of compassion. The day before our mother's funeral, I received a cold and disrespectful phone call informing me that the service was being canceled because it was going to snow and the funeral director did not want to make the drive. There was no concern for our family, no understanding of the fact that many of us were traveling from out of state. I was already preparing to fly in from Florida. That call felt devastating and deeply hurtful at a time when we were already grieving. From that moment on, it became clear that we were not being treated with empathy or respect. Communication was dismissive and unkind, and it felt as though our grief was an inconvenience rather than something deserving of care. Even basic details were handled poorly. Our mother's obituary was printed incorrectly, with duplicate information, adding unnecessary pain and frustration. The staff appeared untrained and unprepared, which only added to the chaos. All we wanted was a peaceful goodbye. We did not want conflict or confusion. What should have been a single, coordinated day was instead broken into three separate days, the funeral, burial, and repast, forcing us to relive our loss over and over again. The most traumatic moment came at the burial. The hearse dropped off our mother's casket and then drove away, leaving us standing there in shock. We had to call the funeral home and find someone else to transport her to the burial site. That moment was emotionally scarring and something our family will never forget. Saying goodbye to our mother was already heartbreaking. This experience made it far worse and left lasting emotional wounds. No family should be treated this way during such a vulnerable time. I would not recommend this funeral home to anyone.
