What Makes a Funeral “Modern”? A Look Inside Sparrow’s Approach

At Sparrow, we believe funeral care should reflect the values of the people we serve — that includes being transparent, inclusive, and deeply human. A “modern funeral home” isn’t about abandoning tradition, but about creating space for new ones while fully reflecting the families we serve.  Our services can be as traditional, or un-traditional as desired, as simple or elaborate as requested and as spiritually rooted, culturally specific, or creatively personal as your family needs them to be.

We host memorials with playlists curated by the families and just as many services with live musicians.  Slideshows are routine and not an add-on you are charged for. 

We support home funerals and eco-conscious choices like green burial.  We also support all faiths and their traditions and customs.  We welcome every identity and every family structure.

Whether it’s a quiet goodbye or a gathering with food, music, and storytelling — our work is to meet people where they are and create something meaningful.  Services can occure in our Brooklyn location or an an off-site venue.  Either way, we create gatherings that feel warm,  inviting and truly reflective of those we love.
