Metropolitan Funeral Service

Metropolitan Funeral Service, a family-owned and fully licensed New York State provider, has been a pillar of compassionate care in Baldwin, New York, since long before its current leadership. Under the guidance of manager Dominick, a licensed funeral director since 1977 and an internationally recognized embalming and shipping expert, the firm has evolved to meet the changing needs of families while maintaining a tradition of dignity and respect. Dominick, who has managed the funeral home since 1984, is also a New Jersey funeral director and a Notary Public for the State of New York. His expertise has been sought by media outlets, notably regarding preparation techniques used after the death of Pope John XXIII in 1963.

Today, Metropolitan Funeral Service offers a range of affordable and ecologically responsible options, with direct cremation services starting at $1,462.00. The firm understands that modern families often seek simpler, more personalized alternatives to traditional services. They provide simple, dignified, and compassionate direct cremations, as well as low-cost funeral service alternatives, proudly serving Nassau and Suffolk counties, all five boroughs of New York City, and Westchester. Their services include complete arrangement assistance, pre-planning, grief support, and the ability to send flowers. They guarantee no hidden fees, ensuring that the quoted price is the final price, and accept major credit cards.

Accessibility and inclusivity are core values. The funeral home features a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot, and is proud to be recognized as LGBTQ+ friendly and a transgender safe space. Language assistance is also available to help families navigate the process.
