Mack 35-20 Broadway, Long Island City, New York • 718-721-9200 Thomas M. Quinn & Sons Funeral Home is owned by a subsidiary of Service Corp. International 1929 Allen Pkway., Houston Tx 77019 713-522-5141 Options for Cremation By: Paul Rudolph, Jr. What are my options if I choose cremation for myself or family member? This is a commonly asked question at the funeral home. Choosing cremation for final disposition is on the rise. There is a popular misconception that you can’t have a wake or a ceremony before you are cremated. The only difference between a cremation and a burial is that the loved one is brought to a crematory instead of a cemetery. Some cremation options are listed below. If you are interested in a traditional funeral, you can still have a viewing at a funeral home. A casket can be purchased or rented. You can still have a service before the person is brought to the crematory. This choice gives your family some closure while reducing the burial costs. Once the person has been cremated, the ashes can buried, scattered or kept in the home. Another option is to have the person cremated and then hold a memorial service at the funeral home. Due to change in laws in NY State, we can now accommodate small catered meals. Lastly, direct cremation is an option. In this situation, no funeral services are provided and the person is brought directly to the crematory. It does reduce funeral costs but it might not provide the closure a family needs.
