Burial Services in the Bronx, NY
After the loss of a loved one, a traditional funeral service can provide a path to remembrance while laying the foundation for healing. It offers a structured way to honor the legacy of your loved one and allows your community to gather around you to pay their respects and support you.
At Bronx Funeral Home, we are your compassionate partners, there for you from the very first call. With a history dating back to 1875, we have the expertise to help you navigate this difficult time.
Understanding Your Burial Service Options in the Bronx
We offer several burial service options that allow families to say their final goodbyes in a way that best honors their loved one's memory. If you're unsure whether a traditional funeral service or entombment is right for your loved one, we can provide an overview of what to expect.
A Traditional Funeral Service in the Bronx to Honor Your Loved One
The traditional service allows you to celebrate life with three main offerings:
- The visitation: The viewing is a private moment for family and friends to gather, offer their condolences and say their final goodbyes.
- The funeral ceremony: The central part of the farewell, where your entire community comes together to celebrate your loved one. You can hold it at the funeral home, church or a meaningful place. Regardless of where you host the ceremony, our team will be there to help you arrange the ceremony.
- The procession to the cemetery: You take the last journey with your loved one before finally laying them to rest.
Lasting Dignity With Entombment Services
We also offer entombment services for families in the Bronx seeking a protected place of remembrance for their loved one. This option is similar to the traditional burial, except for an above-ground burial. During the entombment process, we place the casket securely into a wall or a crypt in a building. This option offers loved ones a sheltered place to visit.
Intimate and Focused Graveside Services
This funeral service is held solely at the burial site, meaning the prayers, eulogies and final goodbyes are done at the cemetery. This option offers families a simple and meaningful ceremony centered around the final committal of the body. While a stand-alone service, our team can also help you plan it as a follow-up to the traditional funeral service.

Personalizing a Farewell That Truly Reflects a Unique Life

- Music tributes: Personalize the funeral with live music, your loved one's favorite song or hymn.
- Visual memorials: For the burial service, we also suggest creating video tributes or photo boards that celebrate your loved one's key moments on earth.
- Memorial tables: We can help you set up a table that reflects your loved one's passions, hobbies and personality. Our desire is to help families tell a unique story about their loved one.
