Hawthorne Funeral Home

Last week my family had need of the Hawthorne Funeral Homes services. I live on the west coast and our departed family member lived in Florida. I had the responsibility to make her final arrangements. This included returning her remains back to New York and making final arrangements.nnErnest “Ernie” J. Carpentieri, and his staff made this entire process painless. Amazingly painless. With several very simple phone conversations with Mr. Carpentieri, his team got the ball rolling. They made all of the out-state arrangements to receive our family member. When she arrived in New York they handled everything.nnHer preparation for viewing was remarkable after just seeing her the week before, the transformation was amazing! Our family’s highest compliments to Ernie and Marlene for their efforts and care.nnAll travel, local burial arrangements, grave site services were extraordinary, courteous and very professional.nnOur family highly recommends to anyone needing these professional services to reach out to the Hawthorne Funeral Home team. Their services are above and beyond.nnSincerely,nTom H.

When we learned that my father had hours to days remaining we reached out to Ernie J. Carpentieri at the Hawthorne Funeral Home to preplan my father’s funeral arrangements.  Ernie was so compassionate and understanding and reassured us that when the time came he would take care of everything for us.  Ernie made himself available to meet with us for our first meeting.  He spent time with us going over every detail for the wake, obituary, and funeral services.   Even after our meeting, Ernie was always available when I called him with my questions.nnA special shout out to Marlena who was very kind and talented.  She was simply amazing, she listened to us when we told her that we wanted our father to look natural.  When we saw my father at the wake, he really did look like Leo.nnThe funeral home was recently renovated.  The new furniture, carpeting, and decor are very inviting.  We were able to use their LED screen to cast a slideshow of photos and Ernie and his staff set up the room so beautifully with all of the photo boards and flowers that were there for the viewing.nnThe staff at the Hawthorne Funeral Home were truly extraordinary, kind, courteous, and very professional.   Ernie and his staff made an unbelievably emotional and difficult time more bearable for our family.  We would highly recommend the Hawthorne Funeral Home for those needing these types of services.

They were very helpful, caring, and attentive. Staff was top notch. Ernie made my family's most difficult time a lot easier to deal with. Highly recommend.

Professional and caring people who go above and beyond to ensure a respectful final goodbye for mourning family and friends. I highly recommend them; this is my second time working with them, and I have zero complaints or concerns.

We used Hawthorne Funeral home for my father's funeral several years ago & for my mother's funeral recently. They were extrememly kind, caring and professional. It made such a difference during a terribly sad time.
