FAQ

 Do you do Cremation? 

Yes, we offer many types of cremation services from basic cremation with no services through complete viewing services, memorial service and interment.

How much does a funeral cost?

There are many variables that go into a funeral and no two family's needs are the same, so there is no one standard answer.  Basic funeral services start at less than $2,000; the national average for a traditional burial is approximately $8,000 without cemetery charges.

Do you have to be embalmed?

Pennsylvania State law requires that within 24 hours after death a person’s body must be embalmed, cremated, refrigerated or sealed in a hermetically sealed container.  There is also a law that states that a person can not be cremated until 24 hours after death and notification to the county Coroner or Medical Examiner.

Yes, in the beginning our roots were in the Northern Liberty section of Philadelphia and we continue to serve families that have moved from that area. We now serve families in other sections of the city and the suburban area.

 What do you do if someone dies out of state?

We are members of the International Order of the Golden Rule, an organization of independently owned and operated funeral homes around the world.  We maintain a professional and many times personal relationship with funeral directors outside of our area.  Call us and we will take care of all the out of town details.
