"The owners may not recognize my Google handle, but I did use them for my dear Mother's cremation services back in September 2022 as her death was a bit unexpected and sudden, and Lori was kind, respectful and not pushy at all when I called nervously and emotionally to disclose that we could only afford the most basic of services due to finances"

Recommended by another relative, my family and I recently had to use the services of Williams Funeral Home and I cannot speak highly enough about the level of professionalism, attention to detail, and compassion they demonstrated. From the moment we walked through their doors, this funeral home was committed to ensuring a smooth and comforting experience during an incredibly difficult time. One aspect that truly stood out was their willingness to assist us in making pre-paid plans. Elliott and the staff went above and beyond to explain all of the available options to us, patiently answering all of our questions and addressing any concerns we had. Their expertise and guidance were invaluable, as they helped us navigate through the complexities of making the necessary arrangements. On the day my grandmother passed away, the funeral home maintained their exceptional standards and their diligence extended to all aspects of the funeral service. The staff managed everything seamlessly, ensuring that all logistical elements ran smoothly. The funeral home's skilled makeup artists did an extraordinary job preparing our loved one for the viewing. They truly captured her essence, creating a natural and peaceful appearance that brought us a great deal of comfort. The level of care and respect they showed was remarkable, making her look absolutely beautiful offering solace to our grieving hearts. Without a doubt, Williams Funeral Home has proven themselves to be a funeral home that truly understands the importance of every detail when it comes to providing outstanding service. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of compassionate and professional funeral services that go above and beyond expectations and honor and celebrate the life of their loved ones.
Williams Funeral Home provided our family peace of mind during one of the most difficult moments of our lives (my father's passing). Their staff was extremely professional and patient. They took the necessary time to walk us through the various options. The funeral director, Sowka Barcacel, was the best part of the experience. She was attentive, detail oriented and laser focused on making sure all of my father's wishes and that of our family were met in a timely fashion. Their team was extremely accommodating and the facilities were clean and comfortable. They provided our guests parking and answered all of their questions. They took all of the heavy lifting off of our plate and allowed us to grieve in peace. They provided us an exceptional experience despite the circumstances. I would recommend their team to anyone going through a similar experience. My deepest and sincerest condolences to the families having to read these reviews and figure out the next steps for their loved ones. As someone who had to take care of all of these arrangements for my father, I understand how you are feeling and I can honestly say this part of the journey would not have been as seamless if it wasn't for Williams Funeral Home and their team. I wish you and your family peace, serenity and guidance during these difficult moments.
The owners may not recognize my Google handle, but I did use them for my dear Mother's cremation services back in September 2022 as her death was a bit unexpected and sudden, and Lori was kind, respectful and not pushy at all when I called nervously and emotionally to disclose that we could only afford the most basic of services due to finances. She was extremely informational (as this was my first time requesting cremation/funeral services for anyone in my family), and even sent me a quote so that I could think it over. The cremation itself was extremely affordable to my surprise and they kept me in the loop, were very accommodating to my circumstances as the arrangements had to be made over the phone due to long distance, and then when I flew out to NYC to be with the rest of my siblings and her surviving spouse, we came to pick my Mother's remains and though it was emotional, she was there to wave hello to us from afar on our way out and wish us well (even though she was on a call with a client). Her front desk staff took care of the rest when we came in and walked out with Mother. I would sincerely recommend Williams Funeral Home to anyone in the local Bronx area looking for compassionate and caring individuals not looking to exploit grieving families. Thank you, Williams.
To Williams Funeral Home: Death is not a crime. Think about all the effort your funeral services put into the ceremonial events after you have picked up the body. Why did you tell Mrs H's son and caregiver to "call the police" when her death was carefully and intentionally orchestrated at home? Why can't your funeral home work together with the care team and respect that the medical team also has ceremonial care events for her dying process. Maybe we want some time alone with thoughts or together with a hug which doesn't require law enforcement because being cared for while dying is not a crime. You were given my phone number and just now told me, when I called you, that you knew I was going to sign the death certificate. I knew which funeral home her family had chosen. What could the police to do with guns and hand cuffs if you knew I was going to certify the end of life and I knew a day earlier that she was going to die? Death is not a crime, its a life event that requires professional services. Please do your part to work seamlessly with the care team. Don't call the cops on an important peaceful moment, after all no other funeral parlor does this. They have my number and they call me first.
From the moment I called Williams funeral home, I knew they were the funeral home to use for my mother’s services. Not because they are my name sake, but Anthony, Lori and Elliot were indeed patient, caring, empathic and compassionate in all their conversations and dealings with my family and I. We didn’t feel rushed and everything was explained and transparent. Most importantly, our voices were heard and honored by the staff. On the day of viewing, everything was perfect and went off without a hitch. One thing that stood out for me was my mothers dress was sleeveless and the staff improvised and made sleeves for the dress to make sure she was appropriate for viewing. Their attention to detail was on point and I am truly grateful for Williams Funeral Home for making a difficult time for my family a pleasant effortless event. I highly recommend them to anyone for top notch, compassionate and profession services.
I couldn’t have used a better funeral home to send my Dad off. Lori and team was very helpful and empathetic the entire process. I had never been in the position to plan a funeral, but they they made the process so smooth for myself and family. The pricing was great. They answered any questions I had. The facilities are very clean and welcoming. Thank you for treating myself and my family with such good care. The only issue we had was that the Zoom guy Will that they recommended did not show up. We hired him to stream the service for siblings and family in Africa, so that was disappointing. I was assured by the funeral home that they wouldn’t be using his services any longer. The funeral home was very apologetic and offered any help they could. Please don’t hesitate to use Williams Funeral Home, you will not regret it. They exude patience, kindness, and comfort.
I want to sincerely say thank you to mike the funeral Director and his staff. My brother in law Thanh died suddenly, we called all over the Bronx and found Williams funeral home. Since the beginning mike has been so compassionate and accommodating in what we needed as far as services. The way they prepared his body and helped us set up the memorial was amazing. Mike was with us the whole time and even rode out to my brothers building and honored him with a white rose. We are Buddhists and the amount of honor and respect given was truly appreciated. Everything was very affordable and straight forward. Mike and his staff went above and beyond to honor our family today and we will forever be grateful. I can say with a content heart that our brother will Rest In Peace happy. I recommend Williams funeral home 100%, thank you so much and we wish you many blessings.
Williams Funeral Home is outstanding! I recommend them without reservation. Our mom suffered a brain hemorrhage and passed away four days later. So we had a chance to contact Williams in advance of our mom’s passing and from the very first call, they were sensitive, caring and took the time to explain the options and everything we needed to consider. We never felt rushed, pressured or pushed into doing anything that wasn’t best for our family and our mom. The funeral home is spacious, well furnished and appointed and everyone made our mourners feel welcome. No one wants to plan or run a funeral for a loved one but it’s a harsh reality you may have to face some day and Williams Funeral Home met and exceeded all of our expectations. And special thanks to Elliot and Lori and everyone who worked on our mom’s arrangements. We appreciate you!
Our dearest mami passed away on Dec. 12, 2020 and Williams Funeral Home provided our family dignity and compassionate care. From the onset of the process of choosing a funeral home, to the end, we received nothing but excellent and transparent service. Andy Williams and his staff: Efrain, the funeral director, Ashley and Helliott were amazing. During this most difficult and unchartered time, us Gonzalez sisters were able to grieve our mami together in a peaceful environment. We would be remiss not to mention the compliments we received from our guests of how elegant, vast, and attentive the funeral home was. We highly recommend Williams Funeral Home for your loved one. —The González Sisters
Me siento muy agradecida por el apoyo, paciencia y comprensión que tuvieron conmigo el equipo de Williams Funeral Home del Bronx NYC en este momento tan difícil en el que me tocó usar sus servicios. Desde el momento que llegue a este local , su solidaridad y profesionalismo me hizo sentir que estaba en el lugar correcto. Hicieron exactamente todo lo que pedí y prepararon el cuerpo de manera impecable y sin desfigurar su apariencia física. También fueron muy generosos con el tiempo del funeral y entierro ya que siempre se toma más tiempo de lo acordado. Hablaron mi idioma y todas sus sugerencias fueron de mucha ayuda. Por mi experiencia recomiendo esta funeraria 100%.
October 31st 2016 veiwing . my father passed. I had made all my arrangements before the time came so we could all be ready. The staff was great the viewing was amazing they did a wonderful job with preparing my dad he did look very handsome just like the photo. I have been to other viewing and this place is one of the best. Lots of open space very clean. I want to thank all staff members. I will continue my business here in future. Also August 2017 Had my aunt's viewing great job thank you. The key to a successful relationship with the funeral home is plan ahead if you could it makes everything much easier with an open communication line.
We absolutely recommended this Funeral Home. My family and I were attended to beautifully when making the toughest decisions of our life to this day. We were welcomed, educated on all different services and treated like family. The staff was very delicate with us. They met all of our needs and were extremely respectful of our space. From the Gentleman at the front desk to the patron who closely watched us for any request. We genuinely felt good. The price was thoughtfully explained and the choices were many. Mr. Williams was also very loving and humorous. Thank you so much for taking care of our Father. PS, they also offered parking
I recommend 10/10 this place, all the people are very nice and they treated me with compassion, respect, polite. Soca is so amazing woman, and I never forget all she did for my son. Eliot is very professional. All the staff in general are very professional and they have compassion for your lost. The opposite other home funeral here in the Bronx, my son was at another home funeral and I need to transfer the body because was a lot of confusion. But this home funeral treats you like a family member. Excelente servicio y mucha compassion.Soca es extraordinaria persona. Willians Funeral Home la mejor del Bronx.
Beyond helpful before during and post funeral for processing of ANYTHING. Couldn't be more helpful and allowing for comfortable experience throughout the course of a trying time of the passing of my mother-in-law. As well, when a financial issue arose, they did not stress us out at all and took care of the problem without worry. A family atmosphere, very smooth experience. They have all resources, authority, and connections to any services required for the processing of all matters regarding pickup and burial of the deceased. Also, very affordable especially in comparison to other parlors. Thanks much
This funeral did the best job ever!!! My family and I will forever be grateful. They did an amazing job. They are super organized and very attentive. They accomplished our wishes. My grandmother also looked gorgeous! They made her look younger and her makeup was beautifully done as well as her hair. They had patience and worked with us. We had some issues with bringing in the day the day before. They let us bring earlier the same day as the service. Their work speaks for its self. The funeral room is very clean as well as restrooms and lobby. We recommend this place 100%!
This was my family’s first time using the services of this funeral home and let me just say I would highly recommend Williams Funeral Home to anyone and everyone. It was my first time having to plan a funeral and I wanted to make sure that my uncle’s wishes were met. The staff was very empathetic, compassionate and professional. Lori and Sowka were very helpful, kind and understanding. Sowka worked closely with me making sure everything was taken care of . Thank you so much for helping my family honor my uncle and for the kindness and compassion you showed to us.
My father recent passed away and Williams funeral home provided the funeral services to help send off my father properly. My father was very neat and presentable for the funeral. They were always responsive, promptly returned any calls that we have. The Funeral home has passed down through the family and current owner Mr Andy Williams has been very helpful in personally attending to my father's funeral and escorting him to the burial site the next day. The rooms are spacious and clean and all costs were made clear up front. Parking is available on premises.
Williams funeral home helped my family. My grandmother passed away on valentines day of this year. The time love and dedication that the staff showed my family was outstanding. The compassion that they have allowed us to say our goodbyes in a calm quiet setting. My grandmother looked so peaceful. Makeup was done beautifully and her nails were perfectly painted with not even the slightest smudge matched perfectly to her dress. Constantly checking in on us to see if they could have possibly helped with anything else. I would highly recommend their services.
My sister and I pre-arranged my mom's funeral six months before she passed. She passed away on February 4, 2021. The staff at Williams Funeral Home were very professional and caring from start to finish. Every detail was taken into consideration and handled by the staff. Our mother's makeup and nails were tastefully done. We were able to view her in a calm and quiet environment. The pall bearers were very respectful. The services provided were befitting of a person who was loved so much and will be missed dearly. On behalf of our family, Thank you.
I have to say it's something special to know just how helpful they was with everything. As soon as you walk in someone is already asking can they help you. They lady in the front went up and beyond for my family. Not trying to selling on things or say it's best you do it this way. They listen to what you needed to make this unexpected emotional day go just right. I have been to alot of funeral homes and they stuff they did I didn't expect at all. Everything clean. Parking under ground. Just a 10/10 for me. I recommend this place to anyone.
Thank you Williams Funeral Home for making our father's homegoing service a wonderful experience. When you have to plan a funeral, you don't realize all of the details. Elliot, John, Mike, and the staff at Williams maintained a level of professionalism and quality of care that helped my family and I through this difficult time, and they did it with care and concern. My family and I are appreciative of your excellent service. They offer parking and most importantly, my father looked like he was sleeping peacefully.
The staff at William’s funeral home, Ashley, Heliot, Ally, Ronaldo and Mr. Andrew Williams were professional, kind and compassionate. I highly recommend them. Although it is never easy to lose a loved one, Ashley, Heliot, Ally, Ronaldo made the process more manageable through their compassion and expertise. They were always available, well organized and very accommodating. We were able to mourn the loss of our sister and never worried about the details knowing the staff had everything under control. Thank You!!!
I am eternally grateful for Williams Funeral Home. I had such a great experience with everyone here. It was very hard for my family & I dealing with the sudden loss of my grandmother. Having the support especially from Ashley who helped me through the entire process & I called every five seconds it felt like was tremendously appreciated. I cant thank the staff enough as well as Mr. Williams himself. The kindness, compassion & support was one of a kind. Truly the best funeral home I have dealt with.
We had to coordinate services for my father in law, and we dreaded having to go through this process after hearing so many horror stories, but the Williams team really did make this painless. They coordinated all of the logistics for us in a super timely fashion, and the services were setup in a way that was mindful of our budget, and family preferences. The day of staff were very friendly and supportive. It’s a tough experience but I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you from our family!
To Ashley and the entire Williams Funeral Home staff. We greatly appreciate your sincere professional hospitality that you and staff have bestowed to our family at this difficult time of grievance . You have extended well beyond our expectations and it has been greatly appreciated. Keep up your goals and you will be an excellent Funeral Director with compassion and high regard for grieving families to come. Follow your dream and thank you once again. Sincerely the Pando Family.
We recommend Williams Funeral 100 percent. The place is remarkable. Aesthetically pleasing, clean, and spacious. They did an amazing job with our grandfather. He was 100 years old and he looked great. But what truly stood out was the attention that we received during a very difficult time. Sowka, the young lady who was attending us, was out of this world. I cannot imagine a more respectful, thoughtful, gracious person. She helped us with absolutely EVERYTHING! What a blessing!
In this time of Covid, the task of coordinating my aunt’s last wishes with travel restrictions and the need for isolation was undaunting. To make matters more difficult, all this had to be arranged from California by phone and e-mail. Nevertheless, Williams Funeral Home, specifically Helliott and Ashley, was able to guide me through the process and get it done. I imagine their in-person assistance would always demonstrate empathy, care and attention to detail. Thank you!
My brother in-law passed away suddenly and the staff at Williams was wonderful. Ashley (don't know her last name) is the BEST! She walked us through all the logistics and did so with a compassionate heart. This is not an easy job, but this young lady helped us tremendously. The place itself was very clean, we were the only funeral there and it was very comfortable. Just a blessed experience in the midst of such a sorrowful situation. Don't go anywhere else!
On behalf of the Freeman family, I want to thank the Williams Funeral Home family and staff for helping us during a difficult period in our lives. From first contact through internment, they were very patient and exhibited comfort and empathy to the entire family each step of the way while caring for our brother. To accommodate those that could not attend in-person, a Zoom service referral was provided and used. I highly recommend Williams Funeral Home.
Williams Funeral Home staff was wonderful especially Ashley and Heliot. Ashley is the Absolute best! She helped us with everything you could possibly think of, and she has such a great heart. This was the hardest times in my life but she made everything easy. she helped me with my grandma Irma Roman, my father Luis Hernandez and now my mother Lydia Hernandez all 3 within the past 10 months. I will forever recommend this funeral home to anyone in need!
Losing a loved one, especially a mother is overwhelming and very hard. Williams Funeral home has made it better. Lori, William, Elliot and other stuff treated us with respect, politeness, and care. They cared about us and helped us make the right choices to save goodbye to my mother. My family and I are very thankful ❤for all the help and understanding. I would definitely recommend this home for a loved one. Thank you again for everything
The William’s Funeral Home team treated my family like family. Aside from the location being convenient and providing a garage, they welcomed my family with care and respect. The prices are better than competitors around and the treatment, superb. Mr. Williams, Eliot, Marcos, & the rest of the team, thank you for providing such a smooth experience during such a difficult time. Your efforts aren’t unnoticed. Sincerely, The Cruz Family
Williams Funeral Home helped my family so much. My grandmother passed away during the pandemic due to a major stroke. While other places were taking advantage and over charging, we were treated fair and with respect . Ashley was great and easy to deal with, helped us with everything. The staff is very compassionate and treat everyone with dignity. My family and I definitely will recommend them to anyone in need.
My family recently used the services of Williams for my sister-in-law Angela who passed away last week. We were treated respectfully, professionally, and kind from the entire staff. Mr. Williams, Ashley, Elliott and others whose names I do not know were so incredibly comforting at a difficult time. I would recommend them highly to any family who loses a loved one. My sincere Thanks to Andy and your staff!
I will like to appreciate the staff of Williams Funeral Home. The whole process was smooth and they helped us in everything we needed. Thank you and I would definitely recommend to everyone that is looking for a good service. By the way they dressed my mom very good and the makeup they did on her was wonderful. She looked beautiful. Thanks again to Williams Funeral Home.
I recently had services there. Everyone there were very welcoming and comforted. I felt working with them was easy and they made the process very easy. They are so amazing. They really listen to what i wanted, and that I had gotten everything i wanted for my mother. The place was nice and clean and offer a parking lot aswell. if you go there you won't be disappointed.
My experience at Williams Funeral Home was very good .... during the hard time my family and I was going through the Micheal and rest of staff made it very comfortable and very attentive to our needs during our time of grief.... the planning of the wake and the actual day of the wake was a very smooth process ... my siblings and i were very pleased with the result...

Thank You So Much from the bottom of my heart
Over the past years my father and both of my in laws were waked at Williams Funeral Home. The staff was very professional, caring and helpful during the very difficult time we had as a family. They answered all of our questions, took care of many details that arose and provided a quality of service that was second to none....and all in the Bronx, go figure!
I have recently used the services of Williams Funeral Home. This was not my first time using them. I continue to return because they have a family feeling. They care for your entire family, I felt comfortable with Andrew Williams, Funeral Director. Finally, in this time of the virus, all precautions were observed. Thanks again to all your staff.
Williams Funeral Home was very kind and caring to our needs. No pressure; gave alternatives; very considerate of our feelings. Ashley was very respectful to our wishes as to how we wanted our loved one to look. She really looked peaceful after all she had been through on her last few days. Thank you for making this a peaceful experience.
Best funeral home in the Bronx borough!!!!!!!! The funeral director Micheal was an angel he helped me and my family so much and was very genuine. His staff is amazing, they were super nice and supportive in this hard time. 100% recommend for all funeral functions. Thank you so much for everything.
This place is amazing and the staff is perfect!!!! They made my husband look like he was sleep not to much make-up. I mean just perfect. The reason I picked this place cause I attended a service in June and the lady looked perfect as well. PLEASE take your love one's there you won't regret it
I recently lost my father in law due to COVID . While other places were engaging in what I believe to be price gouging, I believe that we were treated fairly here . Ashley was great to deal with . They are compassionate and treat everyone with dignity. I highly recommend them
Andy and Ashley were so compassionate and professional during this very difficult time for my family . They really went out of there way to make this situation easier for us. The entire staff was so accommodating and most of all showed such kindness to my entire family .
I am a social worker working at a hospital and called them three times to get a quote for a patient and was clicked on twice and the third time was left on hold for god knows how long. Unprofessional and rude. Would've given them zero stars but google doesn't let me.
Staff are very helpful and compassionate at a very difficult time. We had prepared many aspects of the funeral in advance which did alleviate some of the stress. My friend looked very much like her younger self, which I know would have pleased her very much.
The Williams Funeral Home just recently were responsible for the funeral arrangements for my uncle. Our family is forever grateful for the professionalism and sincerity of their staff. Many of those who attended the service were very impressed as well.
My family and I appreciated how lovely Lori, William, Elliot and other stuff worked with us. They are lovely people and were amazing each step of the way. They helped us say goodbye to my grandmother. My family and I are very thankful for everything.
I recently used Williams Funeral home and I highly recommend them as they made the process easy and comfortable. Staff is very professional and accommodating. The rooms are spacious and there is several spots for parking allotted to the family.
