A family from Staten Island has been trying to add the last touch to their loved one's final resting place for more than a year, but when they paid for an inscription to be added to the gravestone, the name was never engraved.
A family from Staten Island has been trying to add the last touch to their loved one's final resting place for more than a year, but when they paid for an inscription to be added to the gravestone, the name was never engraved.
"A lot of pockets of Staten Island people would know who 'Big Red Dolan' was," Jen Dolan said. "He was a good time. He was a fun guy. He was a good uncle. He was someone who ultimately cared a lot about his family and we miss him." Dolan says that last September, from his nursing home, her father wrote out a check to have his brother's name added to the family headstone. The check was cashed, and the work was promised first in April, May and June. By July, when it wasn't complete, they reached out to 7 On Your Side for help.
She let the funeral home know that she had initiated complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the New York Attorney General's Office, threatened to go to Small Claims Court and told them that she would alert the media. That's when Dolan says she got a text at the beginning of July promising completion of the inscription by July 11.7 On Your Side contacted Azzara Funeral Home on the Dolan's behalf.
