Commonly selected funeral arrangements
Although New York State law does not permit the sale of most pre-packaged funerals, we put together a few of the more common types of funeral services that we offer to give you an idea of the typical costs of funerals. Each funeral is different, each family has their own needs and desires. It is our utmost privilege to tailor each funeral to the wishes of the family and the decedent, and to make every funeral a memorable experience for those involved. 
Just as each life is unique, so each funeral can be a unique tribute, not
just marking a death, but remembering a life.

This mode of disposition is dependent on many variables, and at some times cannot be carried out without additional charges being incurred. Time and place of death, holidays, doctor schedules, cemetery schedules, town clerk schedules, etc. all play a part in this type of service. We are here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to serve you, however, not all included parties keep the same stringent scheduling
