But if you plan ahead, your family has only two decisions – day and time of the service. With pre-arrangements, you can choose exactly what you want, pay in today’s prices, finance your purchase over multiple years at 0% interest, and receive an additional, significant discount. So don’t wait. Contact one of our non-commissioned Family Service Representatives to make your pre-arrangements today. Call (716) 822-1960 or email smc@stmatthewscemetery.com .

Each niche is designed to hold the cremated body of 1 or 2 individuals. Inside dimensions of niches are 12" wide x 12" high x 1’ 9" deep. Cremation Scattering: Private Scattering is now available in existing traditional graves where no casket burial has taken place, or with a new purchase of casket-size or urn-size graves. 5. What do I do if a family member or a loved one is ill or has died? We understand that this is a very difficult time for you. The first thing to do is to call a licensed funeral director. He or she is the only person who can legally handle the funeral arrangements for the deceased in New York State. Even if you are choosing cremation for your loved one, you must – by law – contact a funeral director. He or she can then make arrangements to have the cremation process performed at a crematory. If you have not already chosen a funeral director, this link can help you find one from the local Erie Niagara Funeral Directors Association. At St.
