Scotto and Heyer Funeral Directors

For nearly a century, the Scotto and Heyer families have provided compassionate, personalized funeral services to the Staten Island and greater tri-state area community. Established in 1926, Scotto Funeral Home built a legacy of trust and attentive care in Brooklyn’s Carroll Gardens neighborhood. Today, as Scotto and Heyer Funeral Directors, the tradition continues at 530 Narrows Road South, Staten Island, offering a serene and accessible facility for families to honor their loved ones.

At the heart of the Scotto and Heyer philosophy is a commitment to hand-tailored care. The dedicated staff takes time to understand each family’s unique needs, designing services that reflect the life and values of the deceased—regardless of nationality, orientation, or religion. Whether a traditional burial, a cremation service, or a memorial ceremony, every detail is thoughtfully arranged. The funeral home offers a full range of options: traditional full-service burial (averaging $11,445), full-service cremation ($8,025), and direct cremation ($2,125), all provided with transparent pricing and financial assistance available for those who qualify.

Services extend beyond the funeral home itself. The team coordinates with local churches, temples, synagogues, cemeteries, and crematories to hold services in the most meaningful setting. For families facing the loss of a loved one far from home, out-of-town arrangements are handled seamlessly. Pre-planning is also a cornerstone of the practice; Scotto and Heyer partners with the New York State Funeral Directors Association’s funeral trust to secure funds in compliance with Medicaid law, ensuring peace of mind for the future.

The facility is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot so that all guests can attend comfortably. The staff also provides a list of trusted local vendors—including florists and caterers—to help families create a fitting tribute. Recent obituaries reflect the breadth of the community served, with visitations held at various locations across Staten Island and Brooklyn.

Scotts and Heyer Funeral Directors stands as a pillar of support during life’s most difficult moments. With a history rooted in Brooklyn and a growing presence on Staten Island, the firm continues to uphold its founding promise: to provide reliable, professional, and deeply personal care to every family it serves.
