Renovations and expansions of the building have made Beecher Flooks Funeral Home one of the latest and most attractive funeral homes in Northern Westchester. It is located in a beautiful setting surrounded by dogwood and magnolia trees, with landscaping setting off the building.
We have and will continue to give that personal touch and caring to each family that we come in contact with. It is through the intervention with each family that enables them to begin the grieving process. Funeral Service and Community Service go hand in hand as we strive to maintain the trust that the community continues to put in us.
