Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/10/2014 -- McCafferty Funeral Home announces memorial and cremation services are available this October. For those looking for a prudent alternative to traditional burials, McCafferty offers this service. The business, which has a three-generation family legacy of funeral ownership, considers itself one of the premier inexpensive funeral homes in Philadelphia.
McCafferty Funeral Home specializes in memorial services and cheap cremations in Philadelphia. On their website, the business lists its various cremation services. One of the most popular is a “direct cremation.” Considered a low cost cremation for those who do not want a viewing or memorial, this service includes removing a person’s remains from the location where he/she died, cremation, and returning the cremated remains to the family.
For those who want a cremation with a memorial service, the funeral home offers this too. With this level of service, a family can choose to have the cremated remains buried at a cemetery after the memorial mass or service. This option is recommended for those who want a memorial, but do not want a viewing.
When a viewing is desired, McCafferty offers a “viewing and cremation” service in their funeral home or another location. This level of service involves embalming, which preserves the remains for the time of viewing. The remains are cremated after the mass or memorial service and returned to the family two-three days later. McCafferty provides a sea scattering for families who do not want to bury the cremated remains at a cemetery, or keep them at home.
Regardless of which funeral services are chosen, Funeral Director Mark McCafferty is available to guide families and friends through the process.
