Caskets

Making funeral arrangements for a loved one who has passed away is a complicated process. One of the decisions you will need to make is choosing a casket. A casket is a container that holds your loved one's body for burial or cremation. Bergen Funeral in Queens, NY, provides a wide selection of casket options to accommodate diverse needs and budgets.

Types of Caskets

Bergen Funeral offers different types of caskets constructed from various materials. Metal caskets are made from stainless steel, copper, or bronze. They are often ornamented with detailed engravings and designs. Metal caskets provide sturdy, protective shelter for the body.

Wood caskets come in different stains and finishes like cherry, oak, maple, pine, and walnut. Hardwood caskets have an elegant, natural beauty. Different types of wood symbolize different attributes.

For instance, oak represents strength; pine denotes longevity. Wood caskets can be customized with engravings and carvings for a personal touch.

Bergen Funeral has particle board or cloth-covered caskets for simple, economical options. These caskets provide an affordable alternative while still protecting the body respectfully.

Factors in Choosing a Casket

When selecting a casket, consider your loved one's wishes and preferences. Think about their lifestyle, hobbies, and interests. Also, consider your cultural or religious traditions. For instance, Jewish tradition calls for plain wood caskets without embellishments.

Determine your budget constraints. Caskets vary widely in price depending on materials and detailing. Bergen Funeral offers selections across the price spectrum. Our funeral directors help families choose a casket that balances affordability and meaningful personalization.

Bergen Funeral makes the casket-buying process transparent by listing the prices openly on its website. Our funeral directors will work within your budget to find the best option to honor your loved one.

Cremation NJ

Cremation is an increasingly popular option for the final disposition of remains after death. It provides a more affordable, flexible, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial.

Bergen Funeral in New Jersey offers a variety of cremation services to accommodate different needs and preferences when honoring a loved one. Bergen Funeral provides personalized cremation services designed around your family’s wishes. Options include:

Direct cremation: This simple, lower-cost arrangement handles the cremation process without ceremonies.

Cremation with memorial service: We help plan a meaningful memorial gathering for family and friends after cremation.

Cremation with viewing: Loved ones can pay respects to the deceased in a private viewing before cremation.

The Cremation Process

The cremation process typically involves key steps: Any desired services or viewings are completed before cremation. Bergen Funeral will obtain all required permits and authorizations. The deceased is transported to the crematory facility for cremation. By law, cremation must be performed individually.

Trained professionals perform the cremation process, which uses high temperatures to reduce the body to bone fragments. The cremated remains are processed into ashes and placed in an urn or container. The remains are then returned to the designated family member or representative.

Why Choose Cremation

More and more people today opt for cremation over ground burial for personal, practical, and environmental reasons. Cremation is often cheaper than traditional casket burials.

It also provides more flexibility, as cremated remains can be scattered or kept in a place of significance to the deceased. Many families appreciate cremation’s lower environmental impact as well.

Bergen Funeral honors all preferences providing affordable cremation choices. While no one likes to think about their final arrangements, pre-planning cremation services can be a responsible choice that spares a loved one’s future stress and difficulties.

Our experienced team at Bergen Funeral is available for confidential advance planning discussions to map out details like your preferred urn, any memorial ceremonies, and the disposition of remains. Pre-planning provides peace of mind knowing your wishes will be documented and honored.
