In the event of a loved one’s passing, the family is going through an incredibly difficult time.  This can be made more stressful if the deceased is overseas or in another part of the country.  To bring a loved one home at this time requires the assistance of international funeral shipping services, which is in cooperation with airlines for the transportation specifics.  Bergen Funeral Service Inc. is experienced in the international funeral shipping process and can make things easier for your family at this time.  

Our offices are located near two of the biggest airports in the Northeast, Newark Liberty Airport and John F.

Cremation Services in Bergen County

Although a  burial may be the first option that comes to mind when a loved one passes, cremation is becoming more popular each year among families.  Cremation has been a popular choice for centuries in different civilizations, cultures, and religions.  Many find that it limits the family’s options and do not take cremation into serious consideration.  However, cremation is a respectful way to honor the deceased and pay your final respects.  Bergen Funeral Service Inc. offers cremation service in Bergen County for families who have lost loved ones.

Much like a burial, cremation can include a funeral service and even a ground burial.  Everything that happens before and after the cremation is entirely up to you and in your control.  Cremation services in Bergen County do not limit any choices you have.  There are different choices for families to memorialize a loved one.  Bergen Funeral Service Inc. offers the following memorialization options for its Bergen County cremation services:

  • Outdoor Niches – The cremated remains of your loved ones may be safely held in one of our many above-ground columbarium niches.

  • Scattering - Your loved one’s remains may be scattered freely within a dedicated, natural environment. There are also certain services which offer scattering among the sea or the stars.

  • Traditional Burial - In ground burial on a family plot – Urns may be buried at the head or foot of a grave site.

  • Personalized Memorialization - Inscribe your family member’s name and a special saying on a tree plaque, park bench or other special memorial.

Cremation Services in New Jersey


There are many choices when it comes to funeral services for friends and loved ones. If you are in the unfortunate position of having to make this difficult choice, let Bergen Funeral Service Inc. simplify the process for you. 

Cremation services are one of the four funeral services that we offer – (the others including burial services, domestic funeral shipping and international funeral shipping).  

We offer three types of cremation services at Bergen Funeral Service, in order to give our customers more flexibility and comfort in choosing.

1 - Complete Cremation – this is very similar to a regular funeral service, except the service will commence with a cremation of the deceased, rather than a burial.
2 - Immediate Cremation – the service will begin with the cremation, and will usually be followed by a memorial.
3 - Direction Cremation – we will provide cremation services and then remove and transport the deceased into our care.

Cremation has an unnecessary stigma occasionally attached to it. There is no singular right way to say goodbye to our loved ones. By choosing cremation, you are making a perfectly respectable and dignified decision that our team will be happy to carry out for you.

The close-knit, family-oriented staff at Bergen Funeral Service Inc puts compassion and respect into all of our funeral services.
