Cremation Services

We offer our cremation services throughout Darien & Stamford, CT

Our cremation services will give you the most peace of mind you can receive from a funeral home throughout Darien and Stamford, CT. With our onsite crematory you can rest assured that everything will be taken care of and looked after throughout the entire process. We do not send off your loved ones to be cared for by people you have never met. This is a difficult time for most, and our staff do whatever we can to make this process as easy as possible and eliminate worry.

If another funeral home claims to have a crematory on location, ask to see it.

Nicholas F. Cognetta Funeral Home & Crematory is the only funeral home in Stamford, CT with a crematory on the premises. You’re loved one never leaves our care. Other Funeral Homes transport your loved one to another town or state for cremation. Having the crematory on-premise allows us to handle all of the cremation arrangements and hold your service in one location. Housed within the funeral home, Connecticut Crematory Corporation is fully accessible to all family members.

Because the crematory is at our funeral home, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your loved one’s cremation services are being taken care of by our fully trained and certified professional staff, who ensure that each cremation is handled with dignity and respect. We do not drop your loved one off at a public crematory in Bridgeport, West Chester or Clinton, CT. You and your family are welcome to inspect our facility at any time.

Reasons Why Cremation Services Are Chosen

• Flexible- Other funeral services require that the arrangements take place within 10 days after a loved one has passed. However, this can be difficult for families who live out of town. Cremation services are flexible in the sense that they can take place when it is easiest for the family. This could be weeks or months later.
• Convenient- Planning funeral services for your loved one can be overwhelming. Cremation services are generally not as emotionally draining.
• Creative- Cremation services give the family some creativity in how they want to honor the life of their loved one. Ashes can be placed in an urn and displayed in someone’s home, scattered in a favorite spot, put inside jewelry, and more.
• Affordable- Cremation services can be less expensive than traditional burial options, depending on the services you decide to have.

Planning a Memorial Service After Cremation

During traditional burials, the deceased is laid to rest in a casket and the wake often features an open viewing of the body. When someone elects to be cremated upon their passing, this opportunity is taken off the table. There are many other ways, however, to make a memorial service meaningful after cremation. For example, scattering the remains around various places that were important to your loved one is a common practice. The ability to do just that is a large part of the appeal of cremation for many people. A burial of sorts can still be performed as well if the ashes are being interred in a columbarium. A cremation memorial can be as similar to or as unique from a burial memorial as desired. There is no “wrong” way to honor someone’s life, simply make sure to discuss their wishes with them ahead of time.
