We invite you to discover who has made Yorktown Funeral Home the ultimate provider of creating healing experiences in the community. This section contains the heritage, vision, and the people behind Yorktown Funeral Home's reputation of quality, sincerity, and trust. We have years of experience caring for families, from all walks of life.
Here's the truth: most funeral homes consider their primary function to be handling remains. Instead, we think of our job as having two parts: physical and emotional. The physical is burials, entombments and inurnments. The emotional is working with families to design healing experiences. Our peaceful and intimate setting becomes a place where people find closure, renewal and togetherness.
Pre-planning is determining the details of your funeral and cemetery services in advance. To some, this may sound like a difficult conversation. But putting a plan in place is actually a smart and caring thing to do. With a plan, you'll reduce stress for grieving loved ones-and simply let them honor and celebrate your life, knowing things are happening just as you wanted.
We have heard thousands of questions, and chosen to provide you with the answers to some of the more common questions relating to a funeral, a funeral service and funeral homes. Accepted customs of dress and behavior in a funeral have changed over time, but courtesy never goes out of style. Here's what we'd like you to know about funeral etiquette.
With our online grief support you're assured of our commitment to helping you through this difficult time. It doesn't matter what time of day, or what day of the week you need support, we're here for you.

Anthony Guarino is the consummate funeral director. He understands the grief one goes through at the loss of a loved one and helps you through a most difficult process. He never treats you as a customer. Rather he takes the time to understand what your needs are provides for them, always within your budget, as if he was a family friend. He insures you have the exact lasting memory that you want for your loved one. I have used him three times here and many of my family have used him even more in Mt. Vernon. Rest assured you are in the best of hands with the Yorktown Funeral Home and Anthony Guarino

Yorktown Funeral Home was such a comfort to our family when our mom passed. The attention and sincere caring for our loss was beyond our expectations. From the minute we walked into the funeral home they took care of every single detail, which lightened the burden of decision making in our time of grief. We would recommend YFH without reservation. Outstanding service.

Absolutely one of the most professional, caring and warm funeral homes I have ever been to. Anthony and everyone at the funeral home were sympathetic for our loss and assisted us through the process of transitioning our mom from this world to her resting place. The building itself is beautiful, clean and has a sense of calmness that puts you at ease right when you walk in. Anthony does business properly, meaning he is upfront with his fees and does not confuse you with any hidden or extra fees. If you have a choice, I highly recommend using this funeral home.

I met with Yorktown Funeral Home to understand the arrangements that would be necessary in the short term since I was never in this position before. They were very helpful and extremely professional. When the time came, I had to simply make a phone call and they took care of everything. I truly appreciated their concern and attention to the details that were previously discussed. Anthony, in particular, made a very difficult time much less stressful than it could have been. Thanks!

Yorktown Funeral Home provided outstanding and compassionate service for the funeral of my father-in-law. My wife was so pleased to have a service provider that understood and provided the guidance we all needed. If there is a need for future funeral service we would definitely return to them. We highly recommend them for anyone going through a death in the family.
