At Donohue Cecere Funeral Directors in Westbury, New York, provides funeral home, burial, veteran, memorialization, cremation and life celebration services.

For more than 85 years we have been serving and supporting our community. We host Burial Services that convey both the solemnity of the occasion, but also the joy that comes from celebrating the life of a dear loved one. We are happy to attend to all aspects of the service, and we invite our guests to linger as long as they wish, fully enjoying a special and intimate time with friends and family. For those who choose it, we also offer Cremation Services; cremation can be a meaningful way in which many families mark the death of a loved one. We offer services tailored to honor those who are military service members and veterans, as well.

Grief isn’t a straight line, Some days feel lighter. Some feel heavy. All of them are valid. Be patient with yourself as you move through each moment at your own pace.

🌿Hello February, Here's is Today’s gentle reminder :

Small daily routines—like stretching, fresh air, or a quiet cup of coffee—can make a big difference in how we carry stress. Caring for yourself is one of the healthiest habits you can build.

In grief, we often want to run and distract ourselves, but it follows us. The brave act of healing is to face the hurt, acknowledge the loss, and sit with the sadness. This isn’t about dwelling in sorrow but allowing yourself to feel and nurture your wounds gently. Healing means moving through grief, one moment at a time.

What has helped you confront your grief?

Grief transforms but never disappears. It shifts from an overwhelming presence to a softer reminder of love and connection. There’s no timeline for healing, and it doesn’t mean forgetting; it’s about holding both pain and love together. Whether grief feels quiet or deafening, know you’re on the right path.
