Our history

The Ng Fook Funeral Home run by the Chen's family was established at the end of 1976. And it is located at the 36 Mulberry St. of New York, New York. It used to be a funeral home run by some American Italian. Since the 1970s, the number of Chinese coming to the United States from every corner of the world has been increasing and it is in urgent demand to provide more professional, more considerate, and more traditional funeral services to these American Chinese.

It is in 1985 that the second generation of the Chen's family began to participate in the funeral home's operation. Amy Mak Chen started to charge the company's business in summer 1985. With her tender and considerate character and kind heart, she has offered all-around and reliable services to many families lost their dear ones and received wide commendations.

With the development of its business, the company found it unable to satisfy the local Chinese's demand for funeral services by only employing foreign licensed funeral directors. In the same year, Amy Mak Chen's younger brother, Wilson Mak, who was still a student then, continued two years of funeral study after graduation under Amy Mak Chen's encouragement and became a professional Funeral Director after passing an examination. Today, Wilson Mak has not only mastered a lot of professional knowledge but also accumulated almost two decade of service experiences, and can provide quality and reliable service to the local community.

In 1993, Ng Fook successfully established the Chun Fook Funeral Home in Flushing, the second large Chinese community in New York, making the Chinese living in the Queen District, Long Island, and Upper State etc. all able to enjoy professional funeral service designed for Chinese.

Considering the existing of many poor families or destitute people, 1997, Amy Mak Chen and other various benevolent members in the community founded the Chinese Funeral Fund to provide necessary detailed help to various people. After the Fund's establishment, it has supported the creation of a good atmosphere of helping poverty-stricken families and childless old people.
