Thank you for your partnership and for supporting the Asian and Vietnamese community. We are excited for the upcoming and beautiful Asian Dynasty. Special thanks to Father Viet, Mike, Nick, and especially Lynn for their exceptional work and dedication.
- JBJ BerkowitzNov 14, 20255.0Resthaven did a wonderful job for the recent loss of my family member. They filled every request and were able to answer many questions related to things that needed to be handled (above and beyond funeral and burial plans). Hillary H was especially helpful to us. In such a difficult time, it was a relief to know my loved one was in good, caring hands. They put so much thoughtfulness and effort into preparing her for viewing, she looked like herself. So beautiful and restful. Before their passing, my grandparents appreciated Resthaven's staff and ability to make arrangements for their eventual departure. If they were to write this review, they would recommend that everyone make pre-arrangements for their passing if possible. There's much more to it than merely cremation or burial. Ensure your final wishes are fulfilled and help your loved ones proactively. Do it at Resthaven and be comforted by the knowledge that all will be well and you/your loved ones will be treated with great care and dignity.

When I call, will someone come right away?
If you request immediate assistance, yes. If the family wishes to spend a short time with the deceased to say good-bye, that’s perfectly acceptable. Your funeral director will come when your time is right.
Should I choose Burial or Cremation?
Burial in a casket is the most common method of disposing of remains in the United States, although entombment also occurs. Cremation is increasingly selected because it can be less expensive and allows for the memorial service to be held at a more convenient time in the future when relatives and friends can come together.
A funeral service followed by cremation need not be any different from a funeral service followed by a burial. Usually, cremated remains are placed in urn before being committed to a final resting place. The urn may be buried, placed in an indoor or outdoor mausoleum or columbarium, or interred in a special urn garden that many cemeteries provide for cremated remains. The remains may also be scattered, according to state law.
What is the purpose of embalming?
Embalming sanitizes and preserves the body. Embalming makes it possible to lengthen the time between death and the final disposition, allowing family members time to arrange and participate in the type of service most comforting to them.
Does a dead body have to be embalmed, according to law?
The Federal Trade Commission says, "Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial."
