Best Value Offered - Ensuring Low Cost Funerals For Our Community

You are fortunate that you have a choice of many fine funeral firms in the area. Most of these firms offer standard funeral services at fair funeral prices. We would be honored if you choose to consider us. With large new conglomerates spending tens-of-thousands of advertising dollars comparing funeral costs in the area, we became concerned that price for each funeral home was becoming the only factor in a consumer's slection process. While we agree that finding the best funeral prices in Syracuse is an important factor, what you receive for that price, and who provides it, is just as important.

One may be tempted to conclude our extensive personalized service offerings and fine facilities come at a cost. We can now demonstrate that you don’t have to spend a lot to get the finest in funeral & cremation services.
