“I would like to take this opportunity to share my experience at Sisto Funeral Home. First and foremost, this establishment exemplifies peak performance in customer service and compassionate care. The facility is always impeccably clean and looks grand, as if it is ready for a grand opening at all times. I had the privilege of working with the funeral director, Ralph Faiella, who displayed professionalism from our very first conversation and demonstrated a genuine sense of empathy for the loss of my loved one.

There were no gimmicks involved; Ralph was straightforward and honest throughout the process. In my effort to make an informed decision, I visited approximately 25 other funeral homes, but ultimately, I returned to Sisto. Ralph set a high standard that others failed to meet.

Upon arriving at the funeral home, I was also greeted by two other gentlemen in the office who were equally welcoming. Although I regret that I do not recall their names, I recognize that this is a family-run business, and these gentlemen are essential in maintaining their outstanding customer service. Ralph guided me through the entire process, remaining communicative and informative at every step.

The day of the funeral was exceptionally challenging, yet funeral assistants Jose and another gentleman—whose name I cannot remember—provided remarkable professionalism and support. They treated all the guests with kindness, and I will update my review once I obtain their names, as they deserve recognition for their exemplary service.

I must commend them for the care they showed my mother; it felt as if she were their own family. My family and friends were profoundly moved by how beautiful my mother looked at the services. The mortician, who is also a family member, possesses a truly divine gift.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the send-off they provided. Ralph, thank you for your assistance during this difficult time. I wholeheartedly recommend Sisto Funeral Home to anyone faced with the daunting task of selecting a funeral home for their loved ones, as it will undoubtedly alleviate some of the burdens during a challenging period. Thank you once again, Sisto Funeral Home.”

Joseph P. Clavin & Sons Funeral Home provided exceptional care our family. From the very first interaction, their staff showed genuine compassion, patience, and professionalism.

“I wish that I didn't have to find a funeral home. During this very bleak time, I wasn't concerned with online reviews, fancy websites, or anything really. I chose Schwille Funeral Home, simply because because of it's location. But after a few phone conversations with George Schwille, owner/operator of Schwille Funeral Home, I was grateful for Google's ability to organize results by distance. George was able to arrange things that I wasn't mentally prepared for, including contacting medical examiners' offices in the state that my stepdaughter perished in, & arranging to have her transported back to NY. George was very helpful & thoughtful throughout a very difficult process for my family. He was incredibly accommodating, the pricing was very reasonable, & he went out of his way to make sure that my stepdaughter looked beautiful as everyone said their final goodbyes. I couldn't be more grateful for everything...”

“Gloria answered my call in time of need. She gave me options. My first time doing a service for my dad. She walked me through it. Made the call to the cemetery. She gave us time on our final viewing. The driver was exceptionally patient with all. He was easy to follow. Explained everything we were about to do. Gave us time to use bathroom after mass and at cemetery. I five star because they both helped and understood how hard this was for me and my family.

The De Jesus Family.”

“I want to thank Lori for all her help in getting my Dad cremated and laid to rest in Calverton National Cemetery. She was professional and a pleasure to work with.”

“With our love ones leaving us forever is the most difficult reality we have to face. Mrs. Zhao, the owner of Wah Lai, had been there for our family on 3 occasions. Each time had been a reassuring experience; she took care of everything without us having to worry about any details. The many procedures were logistically and legally complex to us. I’m so thankful she knew exactly what to do so that all went smoothly without a hitch. I can’t stress enough how important her kindness and knowledgeable handling of the situations were to us because we weren’t able to think clearly while grieving.I also wish to point out one particular recent incidence where my brother’s headstone was damaged when I went to pay respect to him this past Ching Ming at the cemetery. Because Wah Lai kept such impeccable records and have used a reliable headstone maker for 30 years, the cemetery was gracious enough to work with them to take full monetary responsibility for a new replacement. Raymond, Mrs. Zhao’s son, went out of his way to pursue the case on our behalf and coordinated with all parties involved in a most professional manner. Without his determined efforts, the ending might have been quite different. I am grateful to Raymond at Wah Lai as well as the cemetery for there ethics and professionalism in doing what’s right so that the most visible part of my brother’s burial spot will be restored to its original pristine state.While service is important when we’re at the saddest moments of our lives, having someone who really cares and understands exactly what you’re going through, and would sincerely do all they can to make things right for you is invaluable. For us, even when things didn’t go right, they were still there to help us so that we can be completely at peace. I’m truly grateful to Wah Lai for all they have done for me and my family.”
