Schwartz Brothers-Jeffer Memorial and Forest Park Chapels is a large, spacious funeral home centrally located at 114-03 Queens Boulevard that has been serving the needs of the community for over 100 years.
Nine specially-trained and attentive funeral directors make up the caring, compassionate staff that are available both during and after funeral services and will cater to your needs and preferences.
Schwartz Brothers subscribes to the Dignity Promise, which is a commitment to unparalleled service through the training and development of personnel, and is based on the needs and desires of families through a study of a customer satisfaction survey.
“The Promise guarantees all of our services will meet or exceed any standards people may have,” said Funeral Director Eric Anderson.
The Dignity Promise includes a 100 percent service guarantee, a Personal Planning Guide, floral services, monument and inscription services, access to the Grief Management Library, information on advance funeral planning and payment options.
“We want to meet a family’s needs and we try to work with families’ budgets,” said Funeral Director Jennifer Martin.
There are two different sized chapels on site and five family rooms. Schwartz Brothers gives families the option of conducting funerals in family rooms as an alternative to graveside services, which might be difficult during inclement weather.
Schwartz Brothers is part of a network of Homes across the country, so if someone has passed in another area of the U.S. they can be easily transported to the New York area or vice-versa. There are also Bereavement Travel services that can be arranged to shop for the best prices and arrange your travel, hotel and car rentals for you.
The 24-hour Compassion Helpline is offered by Schwartz Brothers to any member of the immediate family of someone who has passed for up to one year. Available 24-hours a day, 365 days a year, the Compassion Helpline, 1-800-690-1646, is a toll-free number staffed by licensed grief counselors who will support and guide you during your difficult time.
Schwartz Brothers is close to both JFK and LaGuardia airports and the E and F subway lines. There is ample parking available in the adjacent parking lot. Arrangements and prearrangements can be made in person, by phone or over the Internet. Schwartz Brothers has a monument department and is affiliated with cemeteries throughout the tristate area.
