The Memorial Service for my husband was everything we hoped for. Our family, including John, met with Dave and Mike and planned every detail. It was such a joyful event and suited John to perfection! Everyone laughed and cried and had such fond memories of him that will last our lifetime. Thank you for listening to John and our family and helping us celebrate him in a unique way.

I had the most compassionate, caring, thoughtful, and detailed service from Bartolomeo and Perrotto. Mike guided us through all the details, suggested things we wouldn't have thought of, and made a difficult experience not just bearable, but helped us celebrate joyfully the life of my beloved wife Eileen. The services provided did not stop with the funeral; I am being guided through all the necessary notifications, etc. by weekly guidance from Tom. I cannot adequately express my appreciation for the help they have provided and the space they've given me to grieve.

From the pre-plan, to mom's death, the services, and the aftercare, the professionalism of the Bartolomeo & Perotto team, along with their compassion and care for me and my family, was outstanding. For decades and for generations, my family has turned to Bartolomeo & Perotto and our expectations have always been exceeded. We are most grateful. Fr. Kevin Mannara

Working with Dave Perotto made the process of honoring my wife's life much easier emotionally and practically. With our family out of town, we've planned a celebration of her life in May at our church. He has helped guide through this difficult time. Thanks Dave!

We worked with Joe Capuano @ Bartolomeo & Perotto. Joe took care of all the arrangements for my Aunt’s funeral with much ease and compassion. When the need arises, I would highly recommend reaching out to Bartolomeo & Perotto. Their services provided us with Peace in knowing our Aunt was well taken care of. Thanks to Joe and the team.

I cannot thank the people at Bartolomeo and Perotto enough, for making our remembrance of my loved one truly special. Everything was impeccably managed - from the initial pre-planning, the final preparations after his passing, the memorial itself, to the aftercare for me. Bartolomeo and Perotto facilitated a memorial truly tailored to my loved one's life. Even the arrangement of his memorabilia was spot on. I didn't have to or even want to change a thing, which is a first for me! A family member said it best. As he left the service, he told his wife "I want something like that." Thank you, THANK YOU, to all the folks at Bartolomeo and Perotto, for making that day something I can carry in my heart with love and peace.

I can't say enough about my wonderful experience working with our funeral director Joe Capuano. Joe made suggestions with somethings we had forgotten. I personally would like to give a very, very special thank you to David and Michael Perotto. They are all genuinely professional,caring, personable, compassionate, and understanding.
There staff are very professional also. They return your phone calls immediately. They proof read and contact you before anything is printed.
May I suggest if you want a first class funeral for your loved one look no further than Bartolommeo and Perotto funeral home.
Thank you all again!!!!

When my father passed, Dave, and all at B&P made sure that everything was handled down to the finest detail to ensure that our family had the best memorial/funeral for my father. They made a difficult process as easy as they could and were always mindful of the sensitive nature of it all.

I recently lost my wife and I chose Bartolomeo and Perotto for her services. Let me just say that they are the best of the best. The personal touch, attention to detail and all around care and concern in our time of need was impeccable. Hats off to Dave Perotto, just fantastic. I would never go anywhere else in a difficult time. Everything was perfect.

Wonderful to work with in every way. They are very focused on the family's needs. If you live in Greece I'd use them.

Our Funeral Director was Dave and he made everything go very smoothly. We weren't really sure what we wanted or what we needed to start doing and Dave was able to help guide is through a lot of things; not just funeral related. He let us know what most people forget to do and gave us advice on how to do things. We also interacted a lot with Frank and he was very nice as well. They helped organize a beautiful service and have continuously offered their support every time we've called for something.
We experienced really amazing service from the staff and they made everything very easy.

They are very compassionate and really feel the pain and sorrow you are going thru and are there for you every step of the way. We lost our mom last week and her calling hours were last Friday at Bartolomeo and they could not be more gracious and accomodating including a catered in meal for our family right at the funeral site. It was nice to just sit back, relax and be waited on while we were having dinner. The catered meal is something new that the funeral home has introduced and I would highly recommend dealing with them. They took care of everything for us and it made us so much more stress free.

We could not have asked for a better experience in this very tragic time for my family. Everyone was professional, helpful, and compassionate, and no stone was left unturned. Mike and team allowed us to focus on the only thing that matters--grieving our family member's loss.
