St James Funeral Home 829 Middle Country Road, Saint James, NY 11780

"I cannot say enough good about this funeral home, they have been there for us since before I was even born and they have never disappointed! From all of my grandparents, my godfather, and especially for my mothers passing in 2010 they have always been attentive and supportive. Kenny, Mike and Marty have helped me and my loved ones an immense amount during so many of our moments of grief, we will never go anywhere else! If you’re looking for a dignified service for your loved one I could not think of another place that compares."

"St James Funeral Home provided excellent customer service. They explained every option, guided us in our decision making process and kept in constant contact as we navigated some challenges issues. Marty was super helpful when there was a delay from the town/county so he hand-delivered the death certificates. Ron made himself available to answer questions and we made us feel relaxed and comforted. Mom looked great, her makeup was appropriate and we knew she was cared for with the utmost respect. Having the option to pay a team to do all of the pallbearers duties was a real relief to the family. We are grateful for the family atmosphere and family style treatment. Our sincere thanks to everyone at St James Funeral Home."

"I never thought I would be writing a review for a funeral home but St James Funeral Home went above and beyond for me and my family when my wife passed suddenly and I just felt like I needed to thank them. Mike treated us with kindness and compassion at our most difficult time. He was thorough with everything and we never felt rushed. Ron provided exceptional service the day of my wife’s visitation. We are grateful for them during such a difficult time in our lives."

"I had the most heartwarming experience with St James Funeral Home and it was all due to Kenneth Maher and his family. I've known Ken for many years and he has always been a great friend but he really showed his love when it came to my moms memorial service. He was incredibly professional, honest, flexible and caring but most importantly he was compassionate about my situation. He made the hardest day of my life much more comfortable and easy. I would trust my family with him, I already did and he was amazing. Thank you for everything my friend."

"Our family was recently blindsided by the sudden death of one our most beloved members, Kevin Connolly. To say his passing was shocking is an understatement, since Kevin was still a relatively young man in good health. No one was prepared for this, least of all, Kevin’s wife, Lourdes. With little to no experience on what to do in a situation as this, we turned to the St. James Funeral Home. Words will never adequately express the wonderful job that director, Michael Lynch, and his staff did in making this extremely difficult process as stress-free for Lourdes as possible. They took over and handled all of the dreaded details expertly so that she had to worry about nothing, instead able to focus on her own mourning. The respect, compassion, and command of the task displayed throughout the wake and funeral service was genuinely felt among the family and guests who attended (which for Kevin, were many). The parlor itself is a testament to beauty and elegance. The Connolly family will forever be grateful for the job that Mike and his staff did to ensure that Kevin’s transition was blessed with the grace and dignity that he absolutely deserved. That this had to happen during a holiday weekend made their efforts that much more appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
