Cremation Services in Middletown

Personalized Urns

Melendez Funeral Home is here to help you preserve the legacy of those close to you. The purchase of a personalized urn can be the perfect memento when you want to honor the life of those you have lost.

A Lower Cost Option to a Full Funeral Service

We provide complete and affordable direct cremation services. This option is without the costs of a cemetery plot and a burial vault, the use of the funeral car to the cemetery, or additional supervision costs. 

This service includes the purchase of a Cremation Container made of reinforced cardboard or the rental or purchase of a Cremation Casket made of wood.

We can, if needed, also visit your home to make funeral arrangements at no additional cost.

This is a cost savings as compared to a full funeral service. 

Additional advantages of these services are:

• Ash scattering
  
• Selection of urns
  
• Burial of ashes
  
• Place ashes in a cemetery niche
  
• Reduced costs
  
• Flexibility of time
