I contacted them months in advance. They provided me with an estimate to which they adhered exactly. I called a couple of weeks before the death just to confirm and they addressed my concerns respectfully and accurately. They arrived at my home within a half hour of being contacted. Two gentlemen came in, they were extremely sympathetic, respectful, and deferential. They told us everything they were going to do before they did it and offered us options about the procedure. I spoke with a close friend about their experience with a cremation though a funeral home. They had to sit with a funeral director for over an hour as he tried to sell them services. They bought a $400 urn; I took the included container. The only other difference is that their loved one was removed from a facility and mine from home. They spent over three times as much as I did. Some may find it tacky to shop for funeral services, but my wife would have been pleased.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone at Macken who helped with my grandmother's wake and funeral service. Their guidance was appreciated. From beginning to end, their staff was incredibly professional and thoughtful.

Google Reviewer

I am writing to share my family's very positive review of Macken Mortuary. My Aunt had been ill for sometime and had been staying with us in the Bronx. She wanted her services to be closer to home in Nassau as she lived in Long beach most of her life. When we called Macken and explained the situation, they were very understanding and handled everything. Apparently, there are rules about transporting between the counties that can get sticky. After handling the situation as sensitively as possible, the guys at Macken then set about helping us finalize the arrangements. Macken worked with us so that we could give my Aunt exactly what she wanted, which was complicated by the Covid restrictions. We can't say enough good things about the people at Macken, and would recommend them without reservation.

At the sad moment of losing a loved one, it was so comforting to have Kleinberg taking the helm in coordinating my wishes and every detail from passing to the cemetery. Steve also is taking care of the headstone. He is sensitive and compassionate, and on a very practical note, well priced.

I have used Kleinberg Funeral Services for both of my parents. Steve Kleinberg is a pleasure to work with. He is caring, professional and efficient. All the arrangements and costs were discussed and agreed upon and then completed without any issues, which is exactly what you need at such a trying emotional time. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone without any reservations.
