I have to say that I was 100% satisfied with the services provided by this funeral chapel. I had the unfortunate task of preparing for my fathers passing as he was loosing his bout with cancer. I met with a few other directors and had the feeling that I was being told whatever it took to get our money. From the minute I walked into the place I felt at ease. Ed Cosgrove went over our options and set up a package that worked within our expectations and budget as well. After shopping a few other funeral homes, i decided to have my father viewed at Micheal V. Cosgrove & son. I was amazed at how good my father looked after he was prepped for viewing. He looked peaceful and happy just like we remembered him before he was overtaken by his disease. Throughout the viewing I received many compliments from friends and family in regards to the appearance and presentation of my father. Ed was extremely knowledgeable, caring, and attentive to our needs. He advised us throughout the whole process, from choosing a a prayer card design and verse to choosing an urn to place the remains in. I can honestly say that I will recommend Ed and his services to anyone that is looking for a reputable funeral home that will provide everything that is promised with no disappointments. At the end of the night what counted the most for me was the appreciation expressed to me by my step mother, mother and siblings for great choice I made by having the funeral service at MIchael V. Cosgove & Son Inc.

Micheal V Cosgrove and Sons is the best funeral home I have ever visited, I think that during thee arrangements the director is trying not to make you feel worse about the family member or friend who has passed. So I'm sorry but I defiantly disagree with both of the reviews below.

this place isn't the best, we checked this place out but luckily we found a place in queens.
it's in flushing: called central funeral home, they dont usually do hispanic funeral's but after we told them we were ecuadorian they knew the rest! best of all, central funeral home makes you feel safe. and thats what we really needed. not cosgrove, they are well known but thats only because what they do business-wise. go to central funeral home if you ever need to, its the better choice

Cosgrove funeral home has been in business for many years. It is well known, but the place is very old and the lightening is not good. Smith's Funeral Home in Windsor Terrace is better. The service is good at Cosgrove's as well, but the directors can make you sad, when you are trying to not be sad and get through the setups. Many add ons are able to be added because you can be very emotional.
PROS: well known
CONS: to many add on costs.
