5-7PM except Sat eves & Holiday eves.
I strongly advise you to follow MY directions, and not a GPS or MapQuest, or the
like. On the LIE from the West take Exit 66 or from the East take Exit 68 and
then follow the GPS navigation.
From the WEST: LIE 495 Eastbound, Take
Exit 66 North. Turn left
at the end of the ramp onto Rt.101 North. In about 1 mile, at the light
where you have to turn, turn RIGHT (you will pass a lake on your left)

3 miles North on Route 21 to Route 25, Middle Country Rd (at the light
with the SHELL gas station on the far left corner). TURN RIGHT going
EAST on Rt.25, Middle Country Rd. After the PC RICHARD & Sons, which
is on the right at the top of the hill, make the second LEFT, which is
at the bottom of the hill at the new "BP" gas station. If you start
uphill again, past the lake, you passed it.
***Go North about 1 mile on Curran's Rd. The road narrows and
curves near the dead end. The first place on the right is SMITTY'S Kennels, 103
Curran's Road (blacktop parking lot, black chain-link fence/gates, gray and
white
buildings). Do not go into the second driveway which is a
different Kennel, we are NOT “WagsNTails” kennels). If the gates are shut
then wait outside and ring the bell ONCE, which is on the fence to the
left of the gates near the sign.
From the EAST; take the LIE West to Exit 68 William Floyd Pkwy

From Port Jeff area: Take Rt.112 South just past 347 and make
the first LEFT at the light (Ski Shop/Insurance/Shopping Center) and then
a short distance to the end, and turn RIGHT onto CANAL Rd. Stay on
Canal, it merges with another road, you will bear RIGHT, then you will see the cemetery on your
