Why Choose Us
Ralph Giordano Funeral Home is a family owned business that was first established in Harlem in 1925 by Ralph Giordano (grandfather to our present owner). We moved our business to the Bronx in 1928 and are one of the oldest run businesses in the area with four generations of licensed Funeral Directors. In the year 2025 we will be celebrating our "100th Anniversary of Care", compassion and guidance for our families.
Our funeral directors are on-hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist you in your time of need. From casket choices to funeral flowers; tribute videos to counselling--we guide you through all aspects of the funeral service with compassion, dignity and respect.
We provide a full range of services to families of all faiths in our community. While traditional funerals are the majority of our services, we also provide direct burials, direct cremations, arrangements for memorial services or any type of arrangements the family might request.
Many of our clients opt to make prearrangements to allay the concerns of family members. We at Ralph Giordano Funeral Home help to guide our families through the process of prearrangements for the funeral of their choice.
Our goal is to make this difficult time as painless as possible honoring your family member who has passed as well as the extended family. Our job is to help you understand the options that are available and then make arrangements based on the family's request.
At Ralph Giordano Funeral Home, we take great pride in caring for our families, and will work tirelessly to provide you with a beautiful, lasting tribute to your loved one. In addition to the services we offer, you will receive an online memorial that you can share with family and friends. While honoring your loved one is our top priority, we also want to help you through this difficult time. We have a wide range of resources to support you not only today, but in the weeks and months to come.
We recommend visiting our facility and speaking with a licensed funeral director to better understand this process. Please call us at 718-829-5580 to make an appointment.
Online Memorials
We can create a customized, online memorial for you to share with family and friends. The memorial includes the obituary and any photographs you wish to provide. It will serve as a place for visitors to post condolences, share memories, upload photos, and light candles in honor of your loved one.
Tribute Videos
We can produce a personal tribute video that can be played at the service and online. Simply provide us with the photographs you want to include and we will transform them into a video celebration of your treasured memories. DVDs or digital files of the video are also available.
Funeral Fund Donations
We realize the expense of a funeral can be a burden. We provide the option for friends and family to make monetary donations to help cover funeral costs. These gifts can be made easily and securely online through our website, and are paid directly to the funeral home on behalf of the donor.
Ordering Flowers
We make it easy for friends and family to send flowers to your home or service to honor your loved one. We have partnered with local florists to offer the convenience of ordering directly from the obituary page of our website. You can also use this feature to select the flowers you would like at the service. This is a secure way to choose beautiful arrangements from the privacy and comfort of your home.
Sharing Service Details
We reduce the stress of contacting those who need the details of the service for your loved one. We post the dates and times of the service as part of the online memorial on our website. You can then either share the memorial on your Facebook or Twitter page or copy the details from the site into an email or text. Both options give you the peace of mind that you have provided the necessary information to those who need it.
Daily Grief Support Emails
We offer one year of free daily grief support emails to the families we serve. It is important to us that we continue to comfort our families through the difficult days that the first year of grieving can bring.
