Forest North Funeral Chapel, Staten Island NY

Beautiful place on Staten Island to say goodbye to your loved one. I lost my daughter unexpectedly over 2 week's ago and they held my hand through the grief and planning. Super friendly! Pat (owner) really knows how to tailor your wishes, and his staff treat you like family from beginning to end. Paula is a 'Gem', Very Attentive to family requests and needs. Gina never stops working to get it right. Nilda operates as a attendant and is priceless.she blended in like family while keeping things in order and running smoothly along side her husband who operated as security. They never missed on opportunity to ask if I was okay. I miss my daughter deeply and I thank Forest North Chapel for having the vision of celebrating her life over loss with 'Class.

Staff here was great! Everyone from Pat the owner to Steve who was here watching over and made sure everything was in place for us.we were treated like family and to me was the part that stood out from any funeral parlor I've ever been to. So once again thank you from my family and making ez for us during a difficult time.thank you! I would definitely recommend.

Forest North Funeral Chapel made the hardest day of our lives- worry free! They walked us through everything so there were no surprises. They were compassionate, caring and very attentive to our wishes. They went above and beyond to make sure we were more than satisfied. Thank you so much on behalf of the Valentin Family.

When a loved one passes, it's extremely hard to know what the next steps are. The staff at Forest North Funeral Chapel were not only kind and sympathetic, but helpful in guiding me through the process. They were able to keep on top of all the details when my family and I couldn't. I cannot say enough good things about Gina, who made herself available to me and my family around the clock. These things can move so quickly, and you need to make a ton of decisions, but Gina was calm and patient and supportive while never missing a single detail. We are forever grateful to her, and all the staff. Also the day of, our funeral attendant Kevin was so kind and supportive, and was always available for any of our needs. His presence was so appreciated.

The home itself is nothing like I've ever seen. There is only one service room, and so we had complete privacy. There weren't multiple rooms and multiple gatherings.the day was set for us and our loved ones. You don't realize how impactful that is until you are in it. Everyone in the home that day was there for our sister, and no one else. It was very special. They also have a lobby area that we were able to cater. We were able to bring in sandwiches, coffees, and drinks. This way, we didn't need to stop down and leave for food. It allowed us to spend every moment we could with our family- this was something I also didn't know was needed until the day of. We were able to make a slide show, and a Spotify playlist, which played throughout the home the whole day. Overall, between the music and photos and food and complete control of the space, it felt like a special place set up just for our sister and family to say goodbye.

If there ever comes a time you need funeral arrangements, I strongly recommend Forest North Funeral Chapel. They make something dark and difficult, into something beautiful and memorable. Thank you again for everything!

All staff members are friendly, responsive and compassionate. They'll do whatever in their capacity to extend a supporting hand to the grieving family.
Definitely recommend using their services.

Very nice send off for my Godfather! Beautiful funeral parlor. Pat helped the family set everything up and Steve was a wonderful funeral director! Steve was very attentive and nice! Thank you for treating my Godfather and his loved ones with dignity and respect.

Pat and his crew deserve 10 stars! They go above and beyond to make sure your saddest days go smooth. The place is gorgeous and not like a regular dark/earthy funeral home, bright and modern with up lighting along with built in speakers to play music of your choice. Adding a respectful twist on a classic funeral home. 10/10 will only ever trust Pat with our loved ones funeral services. Thank you and your crew of people for all you do!

The short review: We recently lost my father-in-law and I keep saying, I never knew I would be raving about a funeral home so much! Everyone we dealt with was absolutely incredible to put it simply and made the entire planning process a breeze, which is huge when grieving.

The long review: There was so many tiny details that made everything perfect to celebrate our loved one. The beautiful obituary website they provided allowed us to customize and post arrangements, share memories, and so much more.

We were able to play my FIL’s favorite music throughout the night through the Sonos app and have control of the whole system. It really made it feel like more of a celebration than a sad funeral.
We were able to setup my FIL’s favorite treats as a refreshment area with help from the team as well.

The room itself was beautiful and new and everyone kept saying, this doesn’t feel like a sad memorial, it feels bright and happy.
It was VERY nice to be the only family in the building and to feel like this was our place for the day.

Gina in the office made everything so easy with the gorgeous obituary page and all the details leading up to the memorial.

Owner, Pat us feel like family and made sure we had everything we needed from the music app, valet, and everything else.

John and Beck were also a huge help.

And then, if you’re lucky enough to have or request Steve as your day of director, then you are beyond lucky. Steve was our lifeline and made everything so easy. He explained each step of the day’s events and what we needed to do, he made sure our family always had water and whatever else we needed, and was one of the kindest people we ever met.

This was our first big loss of our adult lives and I truly don’t know how we would have done this without them.
