Why Choose Legacy for Your Funeral Services?
As everyone knows, Florida is one of the top ten states when it comes to retiring, after all it is beautiful and warm all year long. Sadly, this means that many Floridians will also pass away here, possibly far from other members of their family. Legacy Cremation Services understands how hard this can be on families who are not in the state, and how devastating it is for a surviving spouse if they are alone.
We have made it a priority in our family owned business to be experts at arranging services for families who live far apart. We can help those who are transporting a departed loved one from Florida, arrange flights for family members if the funeral services are going to be in Florida, and we will make arrangements that will fit into everyone's scheduling whether you will be using funeral homes services or cremation.
At Legacy we are here for you 24 hours a day every day of the year, you will never have to wait to get in touch with us as we are only a phone call away. One of staff or family members is always available to assist you with any questions you may have on funerals, cremation, or memorials.
What We Do
We do much more than cremation services at Legacy in Florida, we care for your departed and families with funeral homes services, memorials, and grief support also.
All of the funeral or cremation arrangements will be handled by our staff and our funeral director so you can take time to attend to other matters. If necessary, we can even have a funeral director come to your home to over the details and the costs with you.
We speak with the medical examiner, or physicians to obtain the death certificates needed to begin any services with funeral homes, crematoriums, or refrigeration in a mortuary if necessary for transportation. We respectfully handle the transportation of the departed either, to and from the crematorium, the airport, or your choice of funeral home. If a religious service and burial are part of the services, we will also make those arrangements with the funeral home.
One thing that we at Legacy do that not every other funeral services provider will take care of for you, is the filing of paperwork. We process forms for Life Insurance, Social Security papers and Veterans Benefits and funeral services. The Florida National cemetery is located close to Tampa for all cremated remains or casketed burial of Veterans.
We try to remove some of the weight off your shoulders at this difficult time in your life, and filing forms can be stressful on its own.
