Canarsie Cemetery

Thank you, Canarsie Cemetery, for providing outstanding burial services for my father, Ferdinall Brown. I especially want to thank Mr. Desmond for his professionalism and sympathy throughout the entire process. On the day of the burial, Mr. Desmond orchestrated a last-minute miracle. I can’t put into words how this miracle made us feel as a family, but for me it brought tears of gratitude. Ever since, I have been on a mission to figure out a way to repay Mr. Desmond and his team members, and to make this cemetery famous! Unfortunately, I can’t share the details of the miracle here, but I hope this review encourages you to use Canarsie Cemetery to bury your loved one. Mr. Desmond and his team exceeded our expectations of what it means to be sympathetic to a family enduring a moment of vulnerability.

Accepting the passing of a parent is a challenge for me. My mother was buried on August 07th, 2017. I had three places to chose from. This was the first one on the list that was closest to my home. Before I even drove I'm in the lot, I KNEW this where I wanted my mother to be. Its not huge and swimming with tombstones like larger place. I visit at least three times per week and my flowers and balloons have not been tampered with. Flowers that are obviously useless were removed. But again, I'm there often enough to place fresh flowers on her resting place. I found the staff to be very nice. All three gentleman I spoken with. I like it so much that I have planned to be buried next to my mother. I dobt plan on needing it for another 50+ years, but planning doesn't hurt.
