Funeral Homes in East Syracuse, NY

“My family has been using Mathewson-Forani for generations, back when it was owned by Dominick Forani, who was a kind, compassionate man, to now Kevin Mathewson. Anyone who knew Dominick also knew his predecessor would have some rather large shoes to fill. Kevin has lived up to this expectation and has superseded it. He is a very kind, compassionate person who will explain things in a way that will help you understand them. This funeral home is also one of the most reasonably priced in the county. They will not try to up sell you either. They understand your grief and they will not take advantage of that. I can’t thank Kevin and his staff enough for their kindness, dedication, and their knowledge of helping our family through our time of need.”

“When navigating my mother in laws death, my family was thrown directly into foreign and dark waters. We had no idea what we were doing but knew she had wanted us to work with Delaney Grabel. From my first confused call to the very end of the services, the team was compassionate, patient, and easy to work with. I went from knowing nothing to feeling confident we had done a great job. I highly recommend for a really amazing experience but also highly competitive pricing. Would do business here again but hoping I don’t have to for a long time.”

“We lost our uncle unexpectedly and had to work through making arrangements from across the country. Not knowing the area or having any recommendations we lucked upon finding Kevin on the internet - and let me tell you what a blessing he has been to me and my family! He walked us through everything over the phone, was very patient with all my questions and ended up handling everything for us so that we could focus on other things. When we landed in Syracuse, we had to hit the ground running to take care of other odds and ends. Kevin met up with us eliminating the need to stop by his office to obtain the death certificates. He definitely went above and beyond to make things easier on us - amazing customer service! Warms my heart to know that there are still good people in this world - and Kevin is definitely one of them. I would highly recommend to anyone needing his services! Thank you Kevin!”
