  My family called Dorsey Funeral Home after the passing of both my Mom (2023) and my Dad just recently. They were able to coordinate transportation between states both times, service details were handled exactly as my parents wanted and burial and headstone were seamless.
  My family is forever grateful for their compassion, professionalism and attention to every detail.

  Dorsey Funeral Home is professional and reliable. Their pricing is fair, with services available for any budget. They offer client-focused care, ensuring families are supported with dignity and respect.
  
  I have known the director, George, for over 10 years—he is a person truly proven by time, and their service quality has always stayed high. I can recommend this place; it is the best service in the area 💯

  This place was very fair and kind and really went above and beyond for me in a very awful grieving time. Anthony was very gracious and stayed on top of everything I needed.

  Awful treatment of grieving family My mother passed away on January 11. Because 3 of her 4 children, including myself live out of state, she assigned her eldest son as “agent” to handle her final arrangements. My mother was extremely organized and gave very clear and specific instructions for her final wishes which included (among other instructions) which funeral home to use, what she wanted written in her obituary and which outfit to wear for her viewing. Against her request, and without the consent of the deceased’s 3 other children, the agent decided to use a different funeral home, Dorsey Funeral Home, Inc., to handle her arrangements. Because we were grieving the loss of our mother, we did not challenge this as we just needed to mourn her passing. On Thursday January 16 there were 2 viewings from 2pm-4pm and from 7pm-9pm. During the evening viewing at approximately 8:30pm my niece was asked by an associate of Dorsey Funeral Hometo go with him under the guise of discussing her role in the funeral Mass being held the next day. The man took her to the funeral director’s (George R Camp) office where another man, the agent her uncle, was already waiting. The associate of Dorsey Funeral Home then closed and blocked the door rendering it impossible for her to leave. She was then verbally assaulted by the agent who interrogated my niece about a photo my mother (the deceased) had given her which was of my niece with her grandmother (the deceased) sitting with her great-grandmother. She tried to get away but was unable to because the associate of Dorsey Funeral Home prevented her from leaving. This poor young woman, who was grieving the loss of her grandmother, was barricaded in a room without her permission, with 2 men where she felt threatened, victimized and in harm’s way. After some time, she was able to get out of the directors’ office, fortunately without any physical harm, however given her fragile state she was emotionally distraught and extremely shaken up. These 2 men exploited and took advantage of a grieving young woman. They bullied and intimidated a woman who was in a very fragile and vulnerable state, mourning the loss of her beloved grandmother. Prior to that, on the same day January 16, upon returning from the break between viewings at approximately 6:40pm this same associate attempted to stop us from entering the viewing room where our mother was. When we informed him that we were the 2 daughters and 2 granddaughters of the deceased he blocked the room and extended his arms to prevent us from entering. We again stated we were next of kin to the deceased. He would not move, trying to block the wide entrance. Because the entrance was larger than his arm span, we were able to go to the edge of the opening and go into the room to view and spend time with our mother/grandmother. The next day, Friday January 17, was the final PRIVATE FAMILY viewing and funeral mass. We were told that the immediate FAMILY was to arrive the morning of January 17 at 9am to say our final good-byes to our mother/grandmother. We arrived 15 minutes early, having driven over 2 ½ hours from out of state bringing with us other next of kin who flew in from California and Massachusetts. When trying to enter we found the doors to the facility locked and were told we were not allowed to enter until the agent arrived. Even after the agent arrived, we were still locked out without reason. George R Camp, Anthony J Ribustello and the staff at Dorsey Funeral home allowed 7 other people to enter for the PRIVATE FAMILY viewing, NONE of whom were related to the deceased. One person admitted the day before that she never even met our mother. A total stranger was allowed in for the PRIVATE FAMILY viewing, but the staff would not allow her next of kin; her two daughters, two granddaughters and her son-in-law, to enter. When we again asked to be let in the person at the door, who I believe was Anthony J Ribustello, threatened to call the police. What we were doing to involve the police is a mystery. For the entire day p

  George, I and my family can’t thank you enough for how you handled our loss and services for Patty. You and your staff did all you could to get us through this painful time. Your planting of a tree in her memory was a tribute to her and a sign of your caring for all of us. Our thoughts, thanks and prayers are with you George and all the staff at Dorsey. May God continue to Bless you all.

  To explain how well George and his team ran the various aspects of my mother’s visitation and mass are two numerous to count. They are phenomenal at handling issues that
  crop up. They are flexible and compassionate. Also their communication skills are timely and thorough. There really isn’t another consideration in the area.

  I have known George for 50 years .Our very large family has got a lot smaller with all wakes and funeral services being done at Dorseys. With many chances to have a flaw or easy up because we are friends not one. George and Anthony plus should get 10 out 10 and buried my brother today another 10 out 10. You guys the one thing Ossining family always count on.

  Extraordinary personal and caring attention to our deceased love one at this most difficult time. They were most accommodating at each step of the funeral preparation and burial.

  Recently used Dorsey Funeral Home for my moms passing. We were all disappointed with the overall way they handled things.
  1. We arrive early for family viewing and to grieve together as a family. My brother gets interrupted not one, not two, but THREE times in that half hour to sign paperwork ! Everything should have been taken care of Before we arrived, or at worst just one time when we arrived.
  2.Also funeral director made a very inappropriate comment to my brother in one of these three signing sessions - 'I could have gotten you that deal on that better casket.'
  3. Dorsey did NOT provide a person to prevent non immediate family members from interrupting our Private half hour of open casket viewing and grieving. So we had to police that awkward situation and tell people this was the immediate private family time.
  4. WE had to tell Dorsey to close the casket after that half hour.(my moms wishes to only have open casket to family)
  5.
  6. The thirty plus guests at the grave yard service had NOT even driven off yet and the funeral staff was lowering the casket into the ground already. The family found this to be disrespectful.
  
  My whole family agreed on ALL these points. I think you can find a better funeral home than Dorsey in Ossining, NY.
  
  ***UPDATE: After talking with the owner, (At his request) he apologized for Only my first point. And I agreed to edit off point five.
  Considering me and my families dissatisfaction with there services, the money we paid and the fact that this poor review will reflect badly on them forever, I'm surprised he did not offer any kind of partial reimbursement at all.

  George at Dorsey Funeral Home was the most professional, gracious, and kind man who helped me through the process of my mom's passing. George, if you see this post, I wanted to thank you again for taking such good care of me during an emotionally trying time for me and the rest of my family. God bless you...

  Dorsey provided excellent guidance when selecting a burial for my mother which was not pre-planned. The family really appreciated that since it was emotionally difficult for us to do it. The funeral was well organized, impeccable, and it was so good to know that my mom was taken care of. I will cherish her memory all the more knowing she is resting at a wonderful place.
