A general price list of
our funeral charges are available upon request.Our competitors boast of low cost direct burials and cremations however when you get the whole picture the total cost of the funeral is usually higher than initially quoted. They do not tell you about the crematory or cemetery costs or even that you need to pay for certified copies of the death certificate. These are necessary elements to a direct cremation or burial. At All Faiths we tell you everything that you need to know up front and honest.
Here are some items that you may like to know:
A general price list of
our funeral charges are available upon request.
We provide the
service and the crematory or cemetery itself provides the actual cremation or
burial.
We secure the
death certificate from the deceased’s physician or the institution at which
the death took place. It is uncertified at the time of transferring the remains
from place of death to our firm. In order to be issued a burial or cremation
permit, we need to file the death certificate with the New York City department
of health or local municipality. As of today’s date the certified copies are
issued at $15.00 per copy in New York City or $10.00 per copy outside New York
City but within New York State.
You need not
purchase a casket for a direct cremation or a direct burial. An alternative
container is sufficient.
In New York City
a blood relative or spouse must authorize a cremation. A court appointed
executor/executrix or legal guardian might also authorize this. In the event
that you opt for a cremation service we suggest that a simple will be prepared
naming an executor/executrix to act on your behalf. Also, we suggest that you
express your wishes to be cremated in this legal document. This will allow the process to move along smoothly.
