Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Update

May 19th Update

On May 19th, 2021, Governor Cuomo will lift “volume” restrictions on the number of people that can attend wakes at one time. “Maintaining social distancing” remains in effect and will still limit our capacity in order to comply.

We will allow 2 families to have visitation concurrently in all of our locations, except Williston Park, as its more intimate size limits capacity.

Wearing masks into the building and while visiting will continue to be mandatory.

If you are not comfortable, don’t feel well or have underlying conditions that may put you at risk, please stay home. Send a card, visit our website and post a Tribute or Light a Virtual Candle.

We thank all of our families that we have had the honor to serve, especially over the last 15 months for their patience and understanding as we have had to adjust and change in a constantly evolving environment.

There truly is a “light at the end of the tunnel” with the pandemic, but it is not over yet. The safety of our families we serve, our staff and our guests, is of the utmost importance. We will continue to provide you with exemplary service as we navigate through this next phase together.

The safety and well-being of our families, community, and employees is our top priority.

At the Thomas F. Dalton Funeral Homes, our foundation has always been service and support during difficult times. While these current challenges are unlike anything any of us have experienced in the past, we want to assure you we remain focused on your safety and providing first class, responsible service as we get through this together.
