Central New York Cremation Service opened several months before Ithaca closed and is located just 15 miles from the Ithaca, They serve all of Central New York and do not charge any extra mileage fees for people who pass in Sayre, PA for example, in fact there are no hidden fees, straight forward, honest, and simple is how we do it. Total price right now is $1350 including the crematory fee, but it has lowered twice since we opened due to the increase in families using the service.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that they had a separate family room for kids and parents, where they can have a quiet place to go during services. Equipped with toys, games and a TV, I wish all funeral homes had this. Ron and his staff have always been friendly and helpful. They do a wonderful job making everyone feel welcomed and comforted during, what is usually, a difficult time in people's lives. I will be trusting Blauvelt's with my Funeral Services when the time comes, because I know that I will be in good hands.

Kurt was the utmost compassionate and patient and went above and beyond and out of his way to enable my father's services to occur the way I had hoped them to, all while being mindful of cost.
