I cannot express what wonderful care the director (Ken) provided for my uncle, who served in the Navy, and then went on to serve 35 years in the FDNY. They were incredibly professional and kind. The costs were affordable. The special service they provided was unparalleled. You should only trust Alexander Rothwell with the care of your loved one, particularly if they served in the military, navy, FDNY, NYPD, etc. The options they have to honor those who served are absolutely gorgeous. Also note, that during the Co-Vid pandemic, they still have the resources to hold services in small groups. This

Robert and Patty were wonderful in the handling of my Aunt's service. They guided and assisted my family every step of the way. They were empathetic and paid attention to every detail. They made a simple service very special. A service my Aunt would have appreciated. I would highly recommend Alexander Rothwell Funeral home.

They were wonderful and made my father look great. Alexandra couldn't have been better with the arrangements and making us feel as comfortable as can be. They were reasonably priced and worked with well with Calverton and local churchs.

Kind, caring, sensitive and professional. We lost our father end of 2014, and know he would have been very happy with every facet of the services rendered.
