Personalized funerals and celebrations of life

At Arthur F. White Funeral Home, we understand that every family is different—and so is every farewell. We specialize in honoring the family, religious and cultural traditions that matter most to you, creating meaningful services that reflect the values and heritage of loved ones.

From traditional funerals to contemporary celebrations of life, intimate gatherings to large events, we’re here to help you plan a tribute that feels just right. Services can be held at the funeral home, your place of worship, an outdoor venue or anywhere else that holds special meaning.

Perhaps it’s a barbecue in honor of the pit master, complete with live music and bottles of homemade sauce for guests to take home. Maybe it’s a sun-and-sand fete for a beloved beachcomber. Or perhaps it’s a quiet scattering ceremony at a place of significance with closest family and friends.

No matter your wish, no matter the detail, we handle it all to ensure your needs and budget are met. From floral arrangements to music selections, decor, catering and more, we guide you through your choices with care.

Cremation in Farmingdale

More and more people are choosing cremation over traditional burial, but most aren’t familiar with the many options:

• a cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind.
• a funeral with your loved one present, followed by cremation.
• a cremation followed by a scattering, cemetery memorialization or celebration of life—or all three.

We specialize in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways. We offer families the opportunity to spend time with their loved ones before cremation, expertise in scattering ashes and the option for home delivery of ashes.

We work with all area cemeteries to plan memorialization. For those who wish for something more momentous, Neptune Memorial Reef® is an underwater cremation garden off the coast of Florida. A Celestis Memorial Spaceflight takes ashes into space for a little while or forever.

Grief support and aftercare

The loss of a loved one can be devastating, and many people don’t know where to turn or how to cope. Arthur F. White Funeral Home is here to help you through the bereavement process—we want you to know you’re not alone. Our grief library and the 24-hour Compassion Helpline® (services provided by Charles Nechtem Associates) are available day and night.

Veterans funerals & burials

We have profound respect for those who have served our country. With many years of experience arranging military honors and coordinating veterans benefits, we serve the veteran community with expertise and professionalism. From comprehensive planning to personal touches, we are here to guide and support military families every step of the way.

In addition to addressing immediate needs, Arthur F. White Funeral Home specializes in helping families with final arrangements in advance. When you plan ahead, you relieve your family from financial and emotional burdens while ensuring your wishes are fulfilled. We offer in-person and virtual consultations, as well as a complimentary Personal Planning Guide.
