Your traditions, honored

Catholic mass, velorio, all faiths and customs — we have served families of every denomination for over 40 years in this industry. We coordinate directly with your parish and clergy, and with the cemetery of your choice anywhere in Middletown and Orange County.

We know this town's ground

Middletown's parishes and cemeteries are not entries in a directory to us — they are places we stand with families. We coordinate the Mass with your parish, including St. Joseph's on Cottage Street, which celebrates Mass in Spanish, and Our Lady of Mount Carmel. And we arrange burial at the cemetery your family chooses: historic Hillside Cemetery on Mulberry Street, St. Joseph's Cemetery here in Middletown, St. John's in Goshen, Cedar Hill or Calvary near Newburgh — or the cemetery your family has always used, wherever it is in Orange County.

Every option is itemized clearly in writing before you decide anything. See how our pricing works or, if you are planning ahead, learn about pre-planning.

Questions families ask

Absolutely. We serve families of ALL faiths and backgrounds — Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, non-denominational, and secular. Our bilingual staff (English and Spanish) ensures your family's traditions are honored exactly as you wish. Every culture, every custom, every family is welcomed here.

New York law (Public Health Law §4201) sets a clear order: a person named in a written appointment, then the surviving spouse, then a domestic partner, then adult children, parents, siblings, and so on. If your family is not sure who holds that right, call us — we will walk through it in plain words, in English or Spanish, before anything is decided.

Traditional burial involves a viewing, funeral service, and interment in a cemetery. Cremation offers more flexibility — you can choose direct cremation (simplest and most affordable), cremation with a viewing and service, or a memorial service with the urn present. We'll help you understand all options so you can make the choice that feels right for your family.
