You can choose cremation and still hold a full viewing and funeral. For many families, being together with their loved one present matters deeply. Call any hour: (718) 424-2000.
How it works
- A viewing or wake. Family and friends gather at our funeral home to see your loved one and pay their respects.
- A funeral service. At your church or at our funeral home, led by your clergy or someone you choose.
- Cremation afterwards. We arrange the cremation and return the cremated remains to your family.
Choosing a casket for the viewing
A cremation casket or a rental casket can be used for the viewing. We’ll explain both, with no pressure.
After the cremation
The cremated remains can be buried in a cemetery, scattered, or kept at home. We’ll help you choose an urn and explain each option.
