How to Honor a Life

One thing you can do to begin the healing process is to pay your respects in a distinctly personal way: What did he or she stand for? Value? Teach you?

Ask us about all the ways we can help you to uniquely celebrate your loved one’s legacy: burial at sea, scattering of cremains, interment of the ashes, viewings, and memorial services. Each can be done with a personal touch.

Scattering at Sea

The popularity of scattering at sea is steadily growing as people look to the organic nature of the ocean to help them bring closure to their loss.

Scattering at sea combines a sense of finality with a new beginning, as it returns us to nature and our origins.

If you are considering scattering the cremains of a loved one, we have lots of helpful information.

Legacy Cremation Services, serving New York City, NY

Can Help You Pre-Plan A Cremation Service.

Let’s Talk.

Losing a loved one is inevitable, and we understand how devastating that can be. If you’re responsible for making the final arrangements, that can feel overwhelming. That is why your first call should be to Legacy – the premiere cremation provider serving your area – where our dedicated staff is available around the clock to help you through every step.

Because cremation pre-planning lessens the burden.

Why pre-plan? Family-owned for two decades, Legacy always provides quality cremations at an exceptional value. However, pre-planned cremation arrangements offer a respectful plan that alleviates the burden of making all those decisions at a critical time. And, costs are minimized. New York City residents can plan with today’s prices, rather than with a potentially higher future price.

You’ve got options. What we want you to know is that Legacy offers a variety of options so that you can honor the life of your loved one in a personal and dignified manner. There are a variety of ways to do this – for example you may want a memory table or board, or a video and music playing in honor of your loved one – and that is why we advise that you take the time to learn about what is available. Unlike other cremation providers in New York City, Legacy cremation Directors are experienced, professional, compassionate and knowledgeable about all kinds of services and programs, from alternative to traditional. Our Directors know what works and what doesn’t, and they can provide some unique ideas that you might like to consider. And we can get almost anything done for you. That’s why we urge you to call us at any time, 24 / 7. Let’s talk it through.

Rest assured, the price will be right. At Legacy, it is our policy to discuss all arrangements in detail, and provide all financial information about the options you select, up front. The price of cremation services and programs can vary considerably, and we want you to know exactly what you’re paying for in advance, as we know this will greatly ease your mind. These are the kinds of things we will carefully review with you:

Where do you want to have the viewing? Viewings can occur at home, at the Legacy premises, at a Masonic lodge, at a VFW, at graveside, or anywhere else you prefer. If you are not having a viewing at Legacy, you will not be asked to pay for that.
What are the cremation costs? Legacy will take the time to explain each step of the cremation process and the costs involved. There are a wide range of options available for the cremains, and we will go over all the possibilities and costs in detail.
How many services are you planning? Some families prefer to have more than one service, and this is absolutely possible. We will make sure that you only pay for what you want and we will make sure to include all the costs.
What happens if we have multiple viewings or services? If this is what you want, a Legacy cremation consultant will be sure to inform you of all costs associated with transporting the body.

Honor your loved one the Legacy way. We know you want to provide a meaningful tribute and honor the wishes of your loved one, so you may want to discuss preferences now. With this understanding ahead of time, Legacy will be better equipped to advise you and prepare for everything in advance. We will always go the extra mile so that you can have the arrangements that you want. For example:

What songs should be sung at the cremation service?
Who should give a eulogy? Should it be more than one person?
Is there a last message your loved one would like conveyed to family and friends?

The importance of the insurance factor. Funeral insurance is an important consideration when it comes to making choices about final arrangements, and we want you to be prepared with as much information as possible. Here are some things to consider:

Does your loved one have insurance for final arrangements, and where is the paper work kept?
Does your loved one’s policy cover only the most basic services, or does it cover more than that?
Is there a relative prepared to make up the difference if more elaborate arrangement are planned?

Cremation is perfect for all races, creeds, religions and ethnic groups. Our country has a rich history that honors people of all cultures and backgrounds. Purchasing a cremation package does not eliminate any of the family’s requirements. Legacy has experience satisfying the specific requests of all cultural traditions. We will help you create a package that respects your particular wishes and we will carry out each detail with complete care.
