Funeral and Cremation Services in Brooklyn and throughout NYC

Families choose cremation and funeral services for many reasons — flexibility, personalization, and the ability to honor a loved one in a meaningful way. Sparrow provides trusted funeral home cremation services that allow families to gather, reflect, and celebrate life with dignity and care.

Serving Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan families with compassionate funeral and cremation care.

Viewing and Funeral Services

We offer traditional viewing and funeral services alongside cremation, giving families the opportunity to say goodbye in a familiar and comforting setting.


Full Viewing and Visitation Before Cremation

Families may choose a full viewing or visitation prior to cremation, allowing friends and relatives to gather, pay respects, and offer support. This cremation with viewing option provides meaningful time together before final arrangements take place.


Funeral Ceremony With Viewing and Cremation After

A funeral ceremony with viewing allows families to honor tradition first, followed by cremation afterward. This approach is often referred to as funeral with cremation after, combining the comfort of a formal service with modern cremation preferences.

Cremation Options Available at Sparrow

Sparrow Funeral Home offers a complete range of cremation options designed to support families with clarity, flexibility and compassionate care.

Cremation With Funeral Service

This option includes a traditional funeral ceremony before cremation. Families who choose cremation with funeral service receive the structure of a formal gathering while allowing cremation as the final disposition.

Cremation With Memorial Service

Families may also choose cremation first, followed by a memorial service held at a later date. A cremation with memorial service allows more time for thoughtful planning while still creating a meaningful ceremony of remembrance.

Direct Cremation

Direct cremation is a simple and dignified option without viewing, funeral or memorial services. Your loved one is placed into our care, cremated, and returned to your family. Families may later arrange a private memorial or remembrance gathering.

Cremation vs Burial

Both cremation and burial offer meaningful ways to honor a loved one. Cremation provides flexibility in service timing, memorialization, and personalization, while burial offers a traditional place of remembrance. Our team helps families understand all cremation funeral services and burial options so they can make an informed decision.
