Long Island is currently in Phase 4 of UnPausingNY. While we look forward to normalcy, there are precautions which remain in place for gatherings. We are performing wakes and visitations in their familiar form, with open casket visiting, closed casket visiting, and memorial visitation available to our families.
At this time, we are able to accommodate one family visiting at a time. Chapels are limited on their capacity and rooms are assigned based on the anticipated attendance and our ability to clean the facilities between services. We will work with every family to offer solutions to give you the service and space you need.
The West Room (Chapels A and B combined)
will accommodate up to 50 people at a time.
The North Room (Chapels C and D combined)
will accommodate up to 20 people at a time.
Our small chapel is not available at this time.
Visitors must wear masks when in the building, and should make efforts to distance themselves from other individuals where possible. We will not be able to allow entrance to any individual who is not wearing a mask. Our staff does not have masks to provide visitors, and may ask visitors to wait outside the chapel, outside the funeral home, or to keep their visits brief so as to allow others an opportunity to mourn. If the chapel has met capacity, new visitors may enter after others have left.
Funeral Register Books are not available at this time to reduce the risk of virus transmission through shared items, such as pens. Electronic registers are in each chapel and can be accessed using any smartphone or web-enabled device, or by going to http://visit.bfhli.com during visitation.
Floral offerings are being accepted, but in many cases are not permitted with in churches, or at cemeteries. Consider sending plants or take-home pieces, or making memorial donations when specified by the family.

Welcome to Brueggemann Funeral Home
Family Owned and Operated Since 1961
Robert and Lillian Brueggemann set out in 1961 with one goal in mind:
“To give thoughtful, and meaningful assistance
to families during a time of sorrow and need.”
Since then, our family has grown, but we still provide the same dedicated and heartfelt care to every individual who comes to us in need. We take immense pride in the trust we earn from each family and are privileged to have helped over 10,000 families memorialize and celebrate their loved ones.
Though forged through grief, our directors treasure the long lasting relationships that are formed with each family. We effort to deliver a personalized service, with attention to detail, integrity and value for every person we are called on to serve.
