If funeral homes were all the same,
Ours wouldn’t be the family choice
The families of our community so often choose our funeral home. Some come to us to pre-plan
arrangements because we offer all the options and choices they desire. Others come to us at their
time of need seeking guidance, support and the certainty of a funeral service that is correct in
every way. Should your family fi nd itself in need of our services, we hope you’ll make the choice so
many in our community have.

clinical assistants helps patients coordinate
their follow-up care, ranging from referrals
to pre-approvals and other appointments.

bill payments, view their statements, update
their information, and even submit
questions through CityMD’s secure online

centers across the New York metro area.
Each CityMD location is staffed primarily
by board-certifi ed emergency medicine
doctors. CityMD accepts most insurance.
Over the course
of three months ending
in December
2020, Astor Services
for Children & Families,
(https://www.
astorservices.org),
which provides behavioral
and educational
services for
thousands of children
and their families
throughout the
Bronx and Mid-Hudson
Valley, provided
gift cards to families
and children in need
through its annual
Adopt-A-Family program.
With generous donations
of more than
$120,000 from 430 individuals,
corporations
and groups across the
Hudson Valley region
and the Bronx, 2,300
children served by
Astor received gifts
during the 2020 holiday
season. These
generous donations
allowed families to
purchase every day
needs, such as groceries,
winter coats,
hats and gloves, along
with traditional holiday
presents.
“Through the immense
support of our
Adopt-A-Family donors,
especially during
this stressful
time of COVID which
has disproportionately
impacted our
families, we were able
to serve the neediest
children and their
families in Astor’s
programs,” said Sonia
Barnes-Moorhead,
executive vice president
of The Children’s
Foundation of Astor.
“The tremendous
contributions from
our community’s individuals,
families
and organizations are
greatly appreciated.”
