What Types of Funeral Services Does Stellato Funeral Homes Offer?

Stellato Funeral Homes, based in Lyndhurst, NJ, offers four main service categories: traditional funeral services, cremation services, personalization options, and veterans services, along with funeral merchandise. If you are arranging a funeral, planning ahead, or comparing providers, the list below shows what the funeral home states it provides so you can decide whether to contact them.

Traditional Funeral Services

Traditional services are the full funeral arrangement most people picture: visitation, a formal service, and coordination of the burial or final disposition. Stellato lists "Traditional Services" as a distinct offering under its services menu, separate from cremation.

This option generally suits families who want a viewing and a structured ceremony before burial. The funeral home also lists an "Immediate Need" path for families arranging services right after a death, which routes you to the same service categories.

Cremation Services

Cremation is listed as its own service line, not as an add-on to traditional services. Stellato also publishes a free guide titled "Memorial Service With Cremation," which suggests the funeral home supports combining cremation with a memorial gathering rather than treating cremation as a no-service option.

If your family wants cremation with a ceremony, ask specifically how the memorial service is structured and where it can be held.

Personalization Options

"Personalization" appears as a separate service category. This covers adapting the service to reflect the person's life rather than running a fixed format. Stellato also links to "Talk Of A Lifetime," a resource built around gathering and sharing memories of the deceased, which pairs with personalization when families want the service to center on the person's story.

Practical examples of what to ask about: display items, music, readings, and how the service order can be adjusted.

Veterans Services and Merchandise

Stellato lists "Veterans Services" as a dedicated category, alongside "Merchandise." Veterans services typically involve military-related recognition and benefits coordination; because eligibility rules and benefit amounts are set by federal and state programs, confirm your specific situation directly with the funeral home and the relevant agency rather than relying on a general description.

Merchandise covers the physical items a funeral may require, such as caskets and urns. The funeral home also offers a "Memorial Store" resource.

Planning Ahead

If you are not arranging a service right now, Stellato provides several pre-planning entry points:

• Planning Ahead — overview of pre-planning
• Online Preplanning Form — submit your preferences online
• Preplanning Checklist — a structured list to work through
• Talk Of A Lifetime — a conversation guide for recording wishes and memories

Pre-planning lets you document choices before they are needed, which reduces decisions for family members later. Note that pre-planning is not the same as pre-paying; ask the funeral home directly about payment terms and whether funds are held in trust, since the site materials do not state pricing or payment details.

Other Support Alongside Services

Beyond the service categories, Stellato lists grief support (the grieving process, children and grief, grief resources), obituaries and obituary notifications, flower ordering, and free guides including "Creating a Support Network," "Green Burial Options," and "The First 24 Hours." These are supporting resources rather than funeral service types, but they are useful if you are deciding how much help you need beyond the arrangement itself.

How to Choose Among These Options
