Are There Any Benefits to Selecting Cremations in Nassau County, NY?

Cremation with New Leaf offers an efficient process. Since the necessary arrangements are made online or over the phone, there is no need for us to meet together for a lengthy arrangement conference. When traditional funeral services are planned, the body is present for the service, and this means that every detail must be prepared right away. With direct cremation, your time-sensitive portion of death care has now been fulfilled. You are free to take your time planning a service to honor your loved one in ways that are meaningful to you.

On average, cremations in Nassau County, NY, cost much less than casketed burial. This is because there are many services and products that will not be needed. For example, if direct cremation is selected, there will be no need to embalm the deceased’s body. Additionally, there won’t be a need for a casket or a space to hold a viewing or funeral wake.

Many families and loved ones live far away from each other, making it rather difficult to gather quickly when a loved one passes. Knowing this, it can really help to hold a memorial service with a little more planning time to accommodate traveling needs. Also, a little more time to plan can make the event unique and special for your departed loved one.

Many people who wish to protect our environment are dismayed at the lack of options for standard death care. Cremation offers a solution that is dignified and more environmentally friendly than traditional options. Toxic chemicals used to sanitize and preserve the body via embalming can be avoided. Synthetic materials in caskets and concrete grave liners are difficult to erode and return to the earth naturally. If these materials can be reduced or eliminated through cremation and placement, the final footprint becomes smaller.

Affordable and Quality Service

In some circumstances, you get what you pay for. New Leaf Cremation is a bit unique since our online model allows us to serve a broader population base than one local funeral home. We also require much less facility space since we don’t host any celebration of life types of services. This keeps our overhead costs much lower than our competitors, and we pass the savings on to you.
