funeral services

Unfortunately, I need to ask if anyone has any advice on funeral services in the neighborhood. We just need a cremation, nothing else. Any help would be much appreciated.

I don't know if this is going to help you, but here's a google map showing several funeral homes with their phone numbers in our area:

Isnt there a funeral place on Vanderbuilt?

Sorry to hear about your loss...

Sort of off topic, but does anyone here remember "A FUNERAL CONCEPT CENTER" on Flatbush? I think the "concept" was saving money by bringing your own casket. Anyway, now it's a cell phone store.

Did you guys see six feet under sunday when they bury the guy in a canvas bag thing?

I've never heard of that store, but you can buy caskets at a Costco upstate. My dad was like "*shrug*" but I think that's kinda sick.

I hear that if you order three deluxe pizzas at Chucky Cheese, you get a free take-home cardboard casket.

buying caskets at a retail store is a pretty sensitive subject for funeral home directors- in most states, there are still laws preventing people from buying caskets from anyone other than a licensed funeral director... gotta keep the margins hugely padded, don't ya know?!

Oh well, it's not like I didn't already guess they were going to do that.

I'll be crying when that show is forever gone.

I am sorry for your loss

Definately the saddest SFU episode ever, although the one with David getting carjacked was the most disturbing. Can't believe there are only 2 more episodes.

Still gives me shivers to think about that one.
