Direct cremation
We arrange direct cremation without a viewing or visitation beforehand. A memorial gathering can follow. If you want a service before cremation, tell us so we can discuss a different arrangement and its price.
Services
We arrange direct cremation and non-denominational funerals across New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Begin with the service your family is considering.
You can also write wishes ahead. Read about each service below, then use your note to describe what you would want and what you would like to ask.
Funerals
We arrange a non-denominational funeral. The service does not belong to one faith. A gathering can come before a cremation; write that in your note if it is what your family has in mind. Begin with the wishes you want to put into words.
Plan ahead
Wishes can be written ahead. Begin with whether you would want a funeral or cremation, then add whether you would want a gathering first. A note gives those wishes a place to start. You can also write down the questions you are considering.
Understanding direct cremation
Direct cremation is cremation without a viewing or visitation beforehand. A memorial gathering can be held afterward. A service with a viewing before cremation is a different arrangement.
