Simonson Funeral Home , facing south on Lefferts Boulevard at Jamaica Avenue. Simonson has become part of Fox Funeral Home and now operates at Metropolitan and Ascan Avenues in Forest Hills.

Old phone number– VIrginia 7 0500 was earlier VIR 0500. But I wonder why that area got “Virginia”? It was the only one in the country using that name. See http://ourwebhome.com/TENP/TENproject.html You’d think somewhere in that state at least would have used it!
