Direct Cremation:
My service includes the local transfer of remains to the Funeral Home, Funeral Director and Staff services, securing of necessary authorizations, local transportation to the cemetery, an alternative container for cremation, and the return of the remains to the Funeral Home.

Alternative containers can be made of heavy cardboard, pressed wood, or composition materials (with or without an outside covering), or may be pouches of canvas or other materials.

The Direct Cremation prices do not include the crematory charge.

In New York State, embalming is not required by law. If you do not want embalming, you have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for embalming, such as direct cremation or direct burial. If you select certain funeral arrangements, such as viewing or an open-casket funeral, embalming may be required by the funeral firm.

Other Preparation (Excluding Embalming):
Preparation of the remains, unless selected, is not required for direct cremation or for direct burial.

Topical disinfection

Arrangements:
The charge for our services will be added to the total cost of the funeral arrangements you select. However, this charge will not be added to the cost for direct cremation, direct burial, forwarding of remains, or receiving of remains because the price for those services include this charge.

Basic Arrangements:
Includes funeral director, other staff equipment and facilities to respond to initial request for service, the arrangement conference, securing of necessary authorizations, and coordination of service plans with parties involved in the final disposition of the deceased.
