A direct cremation service is when the body is cremated shortly after death. The deceased is removed from the place of death to our facility, where it will be placed into a cremation container. Typically in a direct cremation, embalming is not performed. (Please read our article on

Sisto Funeral Home is currently using the Woodlawn Crematory located in the Bronx. The cremated remains will be returned in a temporary container. The cremated remains are usually returned back to the funeral home within 2 business days. Sisto Funeral Home also offers:
Full Service Funerals,
