Cremations Made Simple

Below are the different cremation options our funeral home offers. If you have any questions about our cremation options, please call one of our Directors at (973)-256-2224 or contact us by e-mail at gaitamemorialhome@gmail.com 

The charges stated will be itemized at the time of the arrangements, whether it be pre-arrangements, or at need arrangements, as required by New Jersey State Law.
