About Us
Report
The funeral home was established in 1950 by John Sullivan and was operated by him until the time of his death, at which time Frederick Fitzgerald, first cousin to the late President John F. Kennedy and nephew to Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, purchased the funeral home. Mr. Fitzgerald owned the funeral home until his death in 1995.
Pre-Arrangements
Report
When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.
Cremation
Report
Depending on state/provincial and local laws, there may be a waiting period of up to 48 hours from the time of death before cremation can take place. Most crematories require the body to be cremated in a combustible, rigid, covered container, if a casket is not being used. If you want to arrange a direct cremation, you can use an alternative container.
Veterans Overview
Report
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
Veterans Headstones
Report
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
