Reviews

★☆☆☆☆

My experience is that Mr. Benton of Bailey Funeral Home is a terrible business man. He stoled my money for my father's birth certificate and refused to send it back to me. The funeral took place on March 24, 2013 and he lied and never gave me the death certificate. To add, he sent me a unsigned check, so that I can't cash. What kind of person does this???????????

The New York location is listed as open 24 hours, Monday through Sunday. Even with 24-hour availability, staff may be assisting another family, so calling ahead can help you reach the right person more quickly.

You can call Baileys Funeral Home at (212) 926-6565. You may also find additional contact information on their website at www.baileysfuneralhome.com, including any forms or guidance for beginning arrangements.

If the death is unexpected or involves an emergency, call 911 first. If it occurs under hospice or medical care, follow the nurse’s instructions. Then contact the funeral home to discuss transportation, next steps, and what documents or information you should gather.

Many families arrange services from another city or state by phone and email. Ask the funeral home what information they need, how they handle signatures and authorizations, and how they will share itemized costs and schedules for review before decisions are finalized.

The right number depends on your situation, such as insurance claims, banking, property matters, and benefits. Many families request multiple certified copies to avoid delays. The funeral home can explain what is typical and how to order more later if needed.
