Three chapels, your choice

The building on Amsterdam Avenue, just steps from the Beacon Theatre and a short walk from Central Park, the funeral home has three distinct chapels, each with traditional pew-style seating:

  • Charles S. Salomon Chapel – Ideal for smaller services, accommodating up to 75 guests.
  • Modern Chapel – Simple, elegant and designed for approximately 140 guests.
  • Gothic Chapel – Our largest space, seating up to 350 guests beneath a vaulted, two-story ceiling. The chapel features arched stained-glass windows and expansive murals. The chapel’s acoustics are exceptional, making it ideal for musical tributes. An organ sits at the rear of the space, and an organist can be arranged upon request.

Your family is encouraged to personalize any of our chapels with photographs, keepsakes and meaningful mementos that help tell the story of your loved one.
