Cremation Services for Little Ferry Families
When a Little Ferry family chooses cremation, the most important thing is knowing every option is available and every choice is respected. Frank Patti Funeral Directors coordinates direct cremation for families who prefer a simple, private process, as well as cremation preceded by a full funeral service, a visitation, or a graveside ceremony. Each path leads to the same outcome, cremated remains returned to the family, but the experience along the way can look very different depending on what a family needs.
For families who want a gathering, we help plan a memorial service before or after cremation takes place, including a chapel visitation, a reception, or a graveside committal at a Little Ferry-area cemetery. We also coordinate cremation jewelry, keepsakes, and memorial portraits, and we set up an online guestbook so friends and extended family who cannot attend in person can still share condolences.
If your family is coordinating cremation for a loved one who lived out of state, or if family members are traveling from out of town, we handle the logistics of shipping and receiving remains so nothing falls through the cracks. Whatever shape a Little Ferry family's cremation service takes, our cremation services team is here to guide every step. Call us any time, day or night, to talk through your options.

About Little Ferry, New Jersey
Little Ferry is a Bergen County borough of roughly 11,000 residents, situated near where the Hackensack River meets Overpeck Creek in the New Jersey Meadowlands. The borough takes its name from a colonial-era rope ferry crossing that operated on the site starting in 1659 and continued until 1826, when a bridge replaced it. Little Ferry was formally incorporated as a borough on September 18, 1894, during the wave of Bergen County municipal incorporations of that year.
Today, US Route 46 crosses the Hackensack River from Little Ferry to neighboring Ridgefield Park. The borough is also home to Gethsemane Cemetery, a historic African-American burial ground listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Little Ferry borders Hackensack, Ridgefield, Ridgefield Park, Moonachie, South Hackensack, and Teterboro, placing it firmly within the close Bergen County community Frank Patti Funeral Directors serves from Fort Lee, about 4.9 miles away.
