A community celebration was put together for the grand opening of Schwille D’Angelo Funeral Home at 66-32 Myrtle Ave. in Glendale on Sunday, Sept. 7.

The festivities featured music, fresh food from Burger City, face painting, balloon animals and more.









Assemblymember Jenifer Rajkumar was also on hand to enjoy the celebration. She also presented Schwille D’Angelo Funeral Home with a certificate of merit to mark its opening.

“It’s so important that in one of the hardest times of a family’s life, they have a place that they can rely on, and that’s what this new business offers,” Rajkumar said. “I’m very proud to welcome them to the neighborhood.”
A funeral home has occupied 66-32 Myrtle Ave. since the 1950s. When the current ownership gained control of the property, they had the building renovated before it opened to make sure it was updated to better serve the community.

“We want to get to know the community. We want the community to get to know us. We did a full renovation. The funeral home is brand new and modern,” Schwille D’Angelo Funeral Home Owner and Operator Anthony D’Angelo said. “We’re excited for people to come and see us and meet us and see the new faces of Schwille.”

The opening of this new funeral home marks the fourth Schwille D’Angelo location in the Ridgewood-Maspeth area.
