How-To Section
Henry Ford, the American industrialist believed in life-long learning; so much so that he once said “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.” We agree with him; that's one reason why we created this how-to section of our website. The other reason is even simpler to understand: we've met very few people who are at all knowledgeable about the many things they will be forced to deal with after the death of their family member. For example, do you know how to scatter ashes, how to deliver a eulogy, order death certificates, or write an obituary? Chances are, you've never had to do any of those things before; that's why we've provided the following how-to information. Again, we remind you to call us at (516) 223-3516 if you have any questions about what you read here; one of our funeral professionals will feel privileged to assist you.
