Cremation Services for Brooklyn
Direct Cremation
This is the most basic cremation service we provide. It involves no ceremony at all. Essentially, the service involves the completion of the necessary paperwork, removal of the body from the place of death, the actual cremation, and the return of your loved one’s ashes.
A Memorial Service or Celebration of Life after Cremation
This cremation package includes all the aspects of a direct cremation plus your choice of a memorial service or celebration of life. This option gives family more time to think about the ceremony, the service can be more personalized, and it allows for more flexibility as opposed to a traditional funeral. Often times, families have the memorial service or celebration of life weeks or even months after the death.
Cremation with a Traditional Funeral Service
This is much like our traditional funeral service we offer with burial. It includes a viewing/visitation with an open or closed casket followed by a traditional funeral ceremony usually in a church. A specially-selected cremation casket is used during the visitation. After the funeral, the deceased is then cremated as opposed to being buried. Once the funeral service has concluded the deceased is cremated as opposed to being buried. The cremated remains are then returned to the family, at which point they be can be scattered, buried, or they can be kept permanently in an urn.
Ash Scattering Service
We can help you organize a ceremony where your loved one's ashes are scattered in a location of your choice. We will work with you to ensure you find a suitable location that allows for the scattering. A key point for this cremation service is finding a location that was of significance.
