Educational guide about Cremation

✔️ What Families Should Know:
Choosing cremation is a deeply personal decision, and many families have questions about what it involves. Here’s a simple, guide to help you understand the process:

❓What Is Cremation?
Cremation is a respectful process that reduces the body to ashes using heat. Families may choose it for personal, spiritual, environmental, or financial reasons.

❓Why Families Choose Cremation
Flexibility in memorial services — hold a service before or after cremation.

❓Personalization — options for scattering, keepsake urns, memorial jewelry, or placing ashes in a meaningful location.

❓Eco‑friendly options — biodegradable urns and green scattering choices.

❓Affordability — often a more cost‑conscious alternative to traditional burial.

If you’d like to learn more about cremation services or memorial options, please contact us anytime.

Feeney Funeral Home has operated for more than a century. It was founded in 1921 in Paterson, New Jersey, by John J. Feeney, and the Ridgewood location opened in 1956. The tradition is carried on today by third-generation funeral director David B. Feeney.

Feeney Funeral Home has earned more NFDA Pursuit of Excellence Awards than any other funeral home in New Jersey and is the only funeral home in North Jersey inducted into the NFDA Hall of Excellence. A leader in innovation, Feeney was among the first funeral homes in the region to launch a website and implement public funeral notification by email.

Equally important to its mission is a strong commitment to community service, with annual events designed to support families as they navigate grief and healing.
