Having our own on-site crematory allows us to oversee the entire cremation process while giving you peace of mind in knowing that your loved one never leaves our care. On-site, at hand, and secure, we have the ability to better serve you. Our private crematory is not just another option, but another reason to trust Nardolillo Funeral Home. Our crematory is located at our Park Avenue location. It is open for inspection and you may arrange a visit at any time. We are always available to answer any questions you may have about cremation, or to provide you with information on ways to commemorate your loved one.

Traditional Funeral Service followed by Cremation

Many families find meaning and beauty in a traditional funeral service. With a traditional service combined with cremation, you can still choose to have a final viewing, visitation or wake, and a funeral service. However instead of in-ground burial, the funeral will be followed by cremation. Depending on your wishes, the cremated remains may be either returned to your family for storage in an urn, scattered, or interred in a columbarium. This option will include fees for the funeral services as well as the fees associated with the cremation itself.

Memorial Service

The funeral service can be held in a church or any other venue the family chooses.  We work with our families to design a service that honors their loved one with stories, music, or scripture.  We also have life celebrants that lead services where clergy may not be chosen. Our celebrants are trained in creating experiences that help start the healing process.

Graveside Service

A graveside or committal service is typically held immediately following the funeral service but it can also be a small intimate gathering of those closest to you.


Permanent Memorialization


Keeping an Urn at Home

This is a common choice and families can select the perfect urn for their loved one.

Placing the Urn in a Columbarium (aka, a “niche”)

Many families find comfort in having a final resting place that they can visit.

Burying the Urn

Similar to a casket, the in-ground burial of the urn allows for a final resting place

Scattering the ashes

Some families find comfort scattering the cremated remains in a place that was special to their loved one.
