New York

As the largest city in the United States, New York City is home to over 8.5 million people living across the five boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Serving this vibrant and diverse city are over 200 funeral homes based in New York City.

New York is an incredibly diverse city and it’s believed that around 37 per cent of its residents were born outside the USA. This multicultural melting pot is reflected in the huge variety of New York funeral homes and the services they provide. With specialists in Asian, African-American and funeral traditions from around the world, residents of NYC should find plenty of choice when planning a loved one’s funeral, whatever their cultural or religious requirements.

The city is served by several large cemeteries, including Green-Wood, Woodlawn, Cypress Hills and Mount Hebron, to name but a few. Woodlawn and Green-Wood cemeteries also have cremation facilities, and there are various private crematoria across the city and the state. Speak to the director at your chosen funeral home for more information about buying a burial plot, arranging a burial, or choosing a cemetery in New York.

Be aware that state law means that bereaved families and individuals must work with an officially-registered New York funeral home to make funeral arrangements after the death of a loved one. Only a funeral director affiliated with a registered home can supervise the removal of the body, file the death certificate and obtain the proper burial or cremation permits. Therefore it is essential to choose a registered funeral home to oversee arrangements for your loved one.
