“Greenwich Village Funeral Home is the best to take care of your loved when the time comes. I had the pleasure to work with Jennifer and Joel on two different occasions. They both made the very stressful time very smooth and put me at ease. Their compassion and attention to detail is above anything you will experience. Jennifer helped me in June 2023, when my friend's mother passed and I was placed into the situation of having to take care of her funeral. She helped me through the process with an outstanding viewing and funeral. I then worked with Joel when my friend, a retired NYPD officer, passed in May 2024. He went above and beyond by calling the NYPD to have uniformed officers conduct the funeral of one of their fallen brothers. Both Jennifer and Joel have my full referral for any of your funeral needs they are the greatest!!”

She answered all our questions & we were not rushed in making a decision. She gave us a tour and it made us feel homey. Just what we were looking for. Right up to day of viewing Janice and her coworkers kept us updated Thank you Janice for being there in our time of need.”
