O’Shea-Hoey Funeral Home

I was in total AWE with Mr. John Hoey at O’Shea Hoey Funeral Home. Prior to going there, I visited a few funeral homes in the Astoria NY Area. my father and I felt as we were taken advantage of our vulnerability. I had recently lost my mother. I had planned a funeral before. I walked around totally lost. my plan was to give my mom a great funeral at a reasonable price with all the bells and whistles. I was able to achieve this at O’Shea. Mgr John’s attitude, Empathy, Support and professionalism was above and beyond my expectations. they did a wonderful job with my mom. the cosmetologists is a total craftsman. My mom looked great.
The bottom line is that I will always highly recommend O’Shea Hoey funeral home Inc. they are a true credit to our community as well as their industry. thank you again for your wonderful support.
Best wishes,

Amazing services, lost my grandfather exactly 6 months ago and I still remember how amazing he made our experience in such a difficult time. After searching for a funeral home we decided to check this place out. After speaking with him we knew this was it. He helped us make arrangements and he didn’t try to make any extra money! He’s so sweet and very caring.

My experience = cremation in early ’09 & funeral very recently (plus comparison to another funeral home (different state) for a cremation in later ’09.
John Hoey is a personable, professional, creative, honest and thoughtful funeral director. In both cases, he listened to my needs and responded with the appropriate arrangements. He did not try to sell me services that I did not need or want, He answered many questions & calls patiently. Both arrangements went off without a hitch, exactly as planned /​promised plus all the related details ie; death certificates were delivered accurately & quickly.
I went back to John because I knew everything would be done well, right and for a fair price. I would do it again & again if the need arises.
I’ve experienced the «classic» funeral home where they try to take advantage of your grief & predicament — John will never do that.
I would suggest that if you have the opportunity to discuss the arrangements before your love one dies — in my case it was obvious both times the end was approaching — it will make it easier for all involved plus you will feel at ease with your choice & confident that the funeral will meet your needs.
