Where to Start When you Don't Know How to Start:   Funeral Shopping

THE BASICS:

So, you've never planned a funeral before?  You might be daunted by the choices, intimidated by the commercial funeral industry, unsure of the "right" thing to do.  Like many, you might not even know where to begin, or what questions to ask.

We, at the Dimiceli & Sons, Inc. Funeral Home, are compassionate and understanding professionals who will guide you through the arrangement process.

It's your choice whether to have  a simple disposition or a more elaborate funeral.  Your taste, beliefs, and budget should dictate the type of funeral your arrange.  You have no obligation to satisfy anyone else's idea of what's right or proper.

Planning a funeral, while dealing with a loss, is often more than a family can bear.  The respectful and understanding staff at Dimiceli & Sons is uniquely qualified to help you through this process.  We are available to assist you and your family with every aspect of funeral planning, from memorial services, monuments and cemetery needs to insurance claims and obituaries, to repast luncheons and accommodations.  We are also happy to help you apply for veteran's benefits and social security benefits. We offer a wide range of options to families who call upon us.  From simple burial and cremation to full visitation, we can help you arrange services that are meaningful and affordable.  Some of the services to choose from include:

The Traditional Funeral Service
