The directors and staff at Festa Memorial Funeral Home take great pride in providing professional, comprehensive care to the families we serve. We go to great lengths to treat our families with dignity and compassion. Much attention is spent in meeting the individual needs and requests of our families. It is your right and our desire that you, our families, have a complete understanding of the services we provide.

Our professional staff is fully aware that the number of details relating to a funeral is largely the result of one outstanding fact: that no two funerals are exactly alike. Traditions, customs, social positions and circumstances beyond one's control come into play allowing each funeral to become an individual and distinct service. The service we provide must be able to conform to each detail. There must be complete flexability in order to meet the ever changing needs of each individual family.

Our traditional services include: consultation with the family, arrangement and direction desired, preparation and filing of necessary notices, authorizations and consents, services and attendance prior to, during, and following the funeral including coordinating with those providing other portions of the funeral such as the cemetery or crematory.

The alternative services offered by our staff can be altered to meet the needs of various financial, cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds. They range from direct burial, direct cremation, and memorial services, to foreign shipping and disinterments.

Our professional staff is prepared to direct services in a multitude of settings including the funeral home, church, cemetery, or crematory. Specific services and amenities that our staff can provide include but are not limited to: Family conference/arrangement interview Co-ordination and direction of the funeral service and its participants Advice and counsel on all funeral matters Counseling on funeral merchandise Procuring the death certificate and burial/cremation/transit permit Arranging for clergy or officiant Writing and placing death notice and obituary information in newspapers Arrangements with pallbearers Arrangements with and strict adherence to ceremonies and rituals of religious and fraternal orders Supervision and attendants for visitation periods Organizing funeral cortege according to family wishes Personal supervision of vault closure Receiving phone calls from friends and family Assistance with government forms (Social Security, Veterans Administrations, Medicaid, etc.) Assistance with insurance claims Permanent recording of funeral for legal reference In-house notary public Bi-lingual staff members
