It’s important to know who you are calling…
How can you tell if the firm you are calling is reputable? One way is to simply view the establishment, whether in person or online to see if they have a facility that appears reputable. If they’re being evasive by not showing their premises online, you will probably wonder where your loved one would be taken to? Do they emphasize, we will come to you? If so, they probably are too far away and simply don’t really serve Manhattan or they might not have a facility you likely would want to see. Even if you don’t choose additional services you want an established company that you can feel comfortable with and have peace of mind, all at a very reasonable cost. Crestwood Cremation and Funeral Services, located conveniently in Manhattan, is a cremation and funeral service provider that believes in very affordable pricing to match today’s challenging economy. We encourage you to view our facilities page to get a sense of the overall quality of our company. We can arrange a simple direct cremation, memorial or graveside service but have the capability, facilities and qualified staff to arrange services for the most detailed and creativity imaginable. It’s your choice.
Price Comparison…
Is the price of what you need seem reasonable? Is it what you expect, too high or too good to be true? Here’s the answer. New York State Law requires that to perform a cremation the firm must be a Registered Funeral Home. Some funeral homes that have seen their business fail make a desperate attempt to survive. Perhaps the facility has seen its better day and has not been improved in decades. Have they lowered the price of Direct Cremation to the point that is impossible to sustain a potential scandal free environment? Maybe the ownership can’t afford competent licensed help and has to go it alone. Do they take care of each cremation separately and taken to the crematory within a day or two? Are their standards beyond reproach? Most well respected, established firms in Manhattan will serve you well, but at what price? See the cost comparison chart of some other funeral establishments in Manhattan with pricing taken from their published General Price List, a requirement of the Federal Trade Commission and N.Y. State Department of Funeral Directing.
