Funeral Service
Castiglia Funeral Home, Inc. Buffalo, NY
To begin planning a funeral service in Buffalo, NY, whether it be for pre-need or at-need the first decision should be to consider the final disposition, Burial or Cremation. This is a personal choice and one that may take time to consider. The one thing you should remember is that you can have visitation and a funeral with both types of disposition. Visitation allows the family and friends a time to be together, extend sympathies with each other and share stories about the loved one that has passed. Remember, even if you don't have a specific time set aside to receive friends at the funeral home or church people will extend their sympathies to you sometime, this might be at the local grocery store or restaurant. For this reason, we offer a safe, comfortable surrounding for you to receive these folks at a specific time and place that you choose at a funeral home in Buffalo, NY. Please take time to view the video below and consider Why You Should Have Visitation:
Traditional Funeral Service
A traditional funeral service includes a public or private viewing of the deceased. Following the viewing will be a service, which is typically held in a church or at our funeral home. After the service an earth (in-the-ground) or above ground (mausoleum) burial of the casketed remains will take place. Most cemeteries require a minimum grave liner to be used to encase the casket when selecting an earth burial. A minimum liner is constructed of concrete and is designed to hold the weight of the earth. A sealed vault may also be used. A sealed vault is also constructed of concrete and is designed to not only protect the gravesite, but is manufactured with inner liners that restrict the entrance of graveside elements such as water and earth and increases the strength of the vault.
Graveside Funeral Service
A graveside funeral service is an alternative option from a traditional funeral service which takes place after a viewing at our funeral home. After the viewing whether public or private takes place the casketed remains would then be transferred to the cemetery where a graveside ceremony could take place followed by the burial.
