Everplans Guru Guide Funerals in Westchester County, N.Y Everplans Guru Guide Funerals in Westchester County, N.Y. Overview: Westchester County, N.Y. Located in close proximity to New York City, some areas of Westchester County serve as commuter towns and range in affluence. The cost and opulence of the funeral homes in the area run the gamut. There’s something for everyone, but be aware you might have to look outside of a specific town to find what suits you best. Funeral Homes If you plan to have a traditional funeral service with the body present (regardless of whether you choose to bury or cremate the body afterwards) you must work with a funeral home to make your arrangements.

Name Typical Price Affordable Cremation Services of NY Low Bryn Mawr Chapels, Inc. Low New York Cremation Service Low Cemeteries You will work directly with the cemetery to arrange for a plot and the burial, but many of the details like buying a casket and body transportation will be coordinated by the funeral home you choose. Note: Westchester has a number of beautiful cemeteries. They are known for their natural and hilly landscapes; for some you might have the option to be atop or at the base of a hill or near a brook or lake.

The live plants, inviting music, comfortable chairs and beautiful décor make this funeral home incredibly inviting; it neither looks nor smells like a funeral home. The staff is competent and kind. Fox Funeral Home Inc. 2080 Boston Post Road Larchmont NY 10538 (914) 834-0144 www.jjffh.com This conveniently located and well maintained home has been family-run for four generations; the large portraits on the wall watch over as current funeral director Ed Fox upholds the family values. They are dedicated to working with all religions and making each family comfortable. Graham Funeral Home 1036 Boston Post Road Rye, NY 10580 (914) 967- 0129 www.GrahamFuneralHomeRye.com This a gorgeous independent funeral home is centrally located on Boston Post Road yet still has ample parking in the rear. The building was originally a bed and breakfast and Gene has kept the charm (and the original oak floors) to make this location warm and inviting. There is plenty of space and I feel that families would be quite pleased here.

Westchester Funeral Home 190 Main Street Eastchester NY 10707 (914) 337-4585 www.WestchesterFuneralHome.com While this family owned and operated funeral home is lovely and warm, the best part about it is the staff. The Benedict family is beyond inviting and helpful. They add lovely details to the home that make it stand out -- numerous products in the bathroom, a helpful planning book, and a seasonal memorial Christmas tree. Families will be very pleased with this funeral home and their robust website. Recommended Flynn Memorial Funeral Home Weinstein Memorial Chapel 1652 Central Park Avenue Yonkers, NY 10705 (914) 963-5178 www.FlynnMemorialHome.com This family-run, reasonably priced funeral home is also the location of Weinstein Memorial Chapel. Unlike other funeral homes that just have multiple licenses, there’s an actual separation of these two funeral homes under the same roof. If the family is Jewish, the funerals are done by James Weinstein. Jack Flynn handles any other type of funeral. James and Jack are both professional and help families create their ideal funerals. There is a large chapel that can either be used for sizable funerals or closed off and divided into smaller rooms for more intimate gatherings. Fred H McGrath & Son Inc. 20 Cedar Street Bronxville, NY 10708 (914) 337-6770 www.McGrathandSon.com Located in the heart of Bronxville, this is a very nice family owned and operated funeral home in Westchester. The building is beautiful both internally and externally. There are even large oriental carpets to make the location homier. The staff is professional and kind. Riverside Memorial Chapel 21 Broad Street West Mount Vernon NY 10552 (914) 664-6800 www.RiversideMemorialMountVernon.com This is the SCI flagship location of Westchester and caters to a Jewish clientele. It’s well run and the staff is professional and features a large and small chapel. Although the location is Mount Vernon, this funeral home is so well renowned families are willing to travel to it. It’s a bit more expensive than some others based on its SCI-ownership.

Cannot Recommend Yet Craft Memorial Home Inc. 40 Leicester Street Port Chester, NY 10573 (914) 939-0131 www.craftmemorialhome.com Farenga Brothers Inc. 899 McLean Avenue Yonkers, NY 10704 (914) 237-5800 www.farengabrosfuneralhome.com Harrison Funeral Home 329 Halstead Avenue Harrison, New York 10528 (914) 835-0284 www.harrisonfuneral.com Direct Cremation Companies Affordable Cremation Services of New York (516) 712-6942 www.affordablecremationservicesnewyork.com A complete cremation will cost under $1,500. To operate in Westchester, they add $3 for every mile outside of the NYC border. (Call in advance to find out what the exact cost will be.) They operate the crematory on their property, which means your loved one is physically moved less and tracked better. All answers can be found on their informative website. I was, however, not pleased with the follow-up call I received even though I asked not to be contacted and hadn’t even left my number. Bryn Mawr Chapels, Inc. (914) 965-0033 www.brynmawrchapels.com We were very impressed by how kind, helpful, and easy-going the staff (especially Steve) was at this location. The cremation takes place at Woodlawn crematory and the ashes can be returned within 36 hours. Although the price can fluctuate a bit, it can all be done for about $1,300, which is very reasonable. New York Cremation Service (877) 274-5152 www.nycremation.com The staff at this family-owned and operated business were consistently a pleasure to speak with. Unlike other companies, they weren’t prying for information or trying to sell us on anything we did not want. Their website definitely needs an update, but that shouldn’t sway your decision to use them. If you have any questions, just call and they will be more than happy to help you. The cost is also about $1,300. For more help with funerals and other end-of-life challenges visit www.everplans.com Everplans Guru Guide Funerals in Westchester County, N.Y.

  • Circle of Remembrance: Memorial to the Enslaved of African Ancestry” April 16, 2021
    Village of Irvington RFQ Design Professional for a Memorial Space “Circle of Remembrance: Memorial to the Enslaved of African Ancestry” April 16, 2021 1. PROJECT OVERVIEW The Village of Irvington is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from design firms for work associated with the Village of Irvington project. The goals of the project are: To design a space for contemplation, reflection, remembrance and learning about the enslaved of African ancestry who lived and died here To design a space for public use on Village property To design a sitting area within the space for small groups (adults or children) to engage in an organized learning experience, or for individuals, couples or small groups to use for personal contemplation To include in the design supporting informational signage and/or engraved textual information for those who visit the location (texts may be both historic and poetic) To include near the space, wayfinding signage To consider including in the design, features of “circle” and ways to convey “reflection” Illustrative Example: The core element would be a circular stone bench, perhaps 15 feet in diameter, located in the widest area of the triangular park (the north end). This bench might have one or two openings in it to allow easy egress (so, two semi-circles). The circular space in the middle of the benches would hold engraved remembrance text. This central area might be raised as a table-like feature, or could be left at grade. (If raised, this area would be potentially useful flat surface for teachers and students.) Existing walls could be enhanced or raised where necessary, and informational signage and a map could be mounted on the wall if appropriate.

  • THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY REVIEW a Journal of Regional Studies
    SPRING 2018 THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY REVIEW A Journal of Regional Studies The Hudson River Valley Institute at Marist College is supported by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This issue of The Hudson River Valley Review has been generously underwritten by the following: Peter Bienstock THE POUGHKEEpsIE GRAND HOTEL SHAWANGUNK VALLEY AND CONFERENCE CENTER …centrally located in the Historic Hudson Valley CONSERVANCY midway between NYC and Albany… Conservation • Preservation • Education www.pokgrand.com From the Editors Welcome to our bigger, and more expansive, issue of The Hudson River Valley Review. As well as the enlarged format, we’ve widened the publication’s scope to accommodate more than 300 years of history. And while the topics covered in this issue might be broadly familiar, each essay offers details that reveal refreshing new insight. While the origins and evolution of Pinkster may be debatable, its celebration in seventeenth-century New Netherland offered an opportunity for residents—including enslaved African Americans—to relax, enjoy and express themselves. In the years leading up to the American Revolution, a French emigrant farmer drafted chapters of a book describing his new home in Orange County. These now-classic recollections would not be published until after he had been accused of disloyalty and chased out of the country. His eventual return—and the story of his trials and travels—is the stuff of cinema. In the early nineteenth century, another globetrotting writer, Washington Irving, helped to mold the young nation with his fiction and biographies. But the story of Irving’s own life is best conveyed at Sunnyside, his Westchester home, now preserved as a museum.
