Over 35 years ago, Crestwood Cremation and Funeral Services was established specifically to meet the needs of those who desire simple, affordable cremation and funeral services. In a diverse city such as New York, Crestwood recognized and pioneered the idea of direct cremation before it was popularized. Of the few independent funeral homes that remain, Crestwood continues to serve the wishes of individuals that prefer effortless and straightforward services. Our highly trained Manhattan staff has kept their approach consistent: surprisingly affordable cremation and funeral services, coupled with the most competent, compassionate and knowledgeable professionals, in a convenient Manhattan location.
