What Do I Need To Do

After you have spoken with our staff, please notify the facility, hospice, or police officer that you will be entrusting Bergen Cremation Service with your loved one’s final arrangements and provide their staff with our phone number  201-343-7900. They will need to contact us to let us know that your loved one is ready to be transferred into our care.

When we receive the call, we will ask these questions:

• Date and time of death.
• The name of the next of kin, the relationship to the deceased and contact information.
