- KCKevin CarvalhoNov 13, 20255.0The care they took for our lost love one is first class. The service, compassion, the support during a very trying time the staff was incredible.
- MAMolly AnanomousNov 5, 20251.0Was very disappointed in the staff. I was at the wake for my parent and during the wake a staff member asked for payment. I had told the coordinator that payment would take some time because I needed to wait on some money but I was embarrassed and infuriated at the staff member asking for payment during my parents funeral extremely unprofessional.
- LILarry ItarelliOct 7, 20255.0I just want to say thank you to Cataudulla funeral home. The compassion they showed with me giving my 37 year-old son the send off that that he deserved. Their compassion and professionalism went above and beyond for this difficult time, they really cared. I’m not much for words but I felt I needed to say this.I especially want to thank Robert Duhurst Who guided us every step of the way. You could not find a kinder and More knowledgeable Person to help you in your time of need. Again thank you to Robert Duhurst and all the other funeral directors at Catuadella funeral home. Lawrence and Laura Itarelli
- ACAngela CostelloSep 15, 20255.0I want to sincerely thank everyone for taking such wonderful care of my family’s needs. In particular, Deanna made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. She provided just the right balance of guidance and compassion, which meant so much during such a difficult time. My family is still talking about Deanna’s kindness—and even the small moments of laughter she shared with my aunt that helped bring a bit of comfort when it was most needed. Thank you again to the entire team for making this experience as gentle as possible especially Deanna.
- JJJamesSep 6, 20251.0I won't go into details but I can honestly say, from firsthand experience, Cataudella Funeral Home is not as good as they use to be. They no longer deliver quality service as they did in years past. Their staff and coordination are subpar at best. I would advise, consider other funeral homes before this one.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cataudella Funeral Home
Do I have to make different funeral arrangements if I choose cremation?
It really depends entirely on how you wish to commemorate a life. One of the advantages of cremation is that it provides you with increased flexibility when you make your funeral and cemetery arrangements. You might, for example, choose to have a funeral service before the cremation; a memorial service at the time of cremation or after the cremation with the urn present; or a committal service at the final disposition of cremated remains. Funeral or memorial services can be held in a place of worship, a funeral home or in a crematory chapel.
What can be done with the cremated remains?
With cremation, your options are numerous. The cremains can be interred in a cemetery plot, i.e., earth burial, retained by a family member, usually in an urn, scattered on private property, or at a place that was significant to the deceased. (It would always be advisable to check for local regulations regarding scattering in a public place-your funeral director can help you with this.)
Today, there are many different types of memorial options from which to choose. Memorialization is a time-honored tradition that has been practiced for centuries. A memorial serves as a tribute to a life lived and provides a focal point for remembrance, as well as a record for future generations. The type of memorial you choose is a personal decision.
What is memorialization for a cremation?
You might choose ground burial of the urn. If so, you may usually choose either a bronze memorial or monument. Cremation niches in columbariums are also available at many cemeteries. They offer the beauty of a mausoleum setting with the benefits of above ground placement of remains. Many cemeteries also offer scattering gardens. This area of a cemetery offers the peacefulness of a serene garden where family and friends can come and reflect.
Can we scatter the cremated remains?
If you wish to have your ashes scattered somewhere, it is important to discuss your wishes to be scattered ahead of time with the person or persons who will actually have to do the cremation ashes scattering ceremony, as they might want to let your funeral professional assist in the scattering ceremony. Funeral directors can also be very helpful in creating a meaningful and personal ash scattering ceremony that they will customize to fit your families specific desires. The services can be as formal or informal as you like. Scattering services can also be public or private. Again, it is advisable to check for local regulations regarding scattering in a public place-your funeral director can help you with this.
If I am cremated, can I be buried with my spouse even if he or she was in a casket?
Yes — Depending upon the cemetery's policy, you may be able to save a grave space by having the cremains buried on top of the casketed remains of your spouse, or utilize the space provided next to him/her. Many cemeteries allow for multiple cremated remains to be interred in a single grave space.
