Cremation services

We specialize in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways, and families love our transparent pricing. With expertise in scattering ashes and a friendly team who pays attention to every detail, we provide service that is second to none.

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.

For those who wish for a more momentous memorial, 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.

There are many options for cremation—and they're not all equal. Here's what you can expect when you choose us for your loved one's cremation:

Custody of care guaranteed. Our custody-of-care program helps safeguard the identification of your loved one from the time we bring them into our care until the time we return them to your family. We check, cross-check and check again, every step of the way.
Exclusive custody of your loved one. We use only crematories owned and operated by Dignity Memorial^® providers or trusted partners. Once your loved one is in our custody or that of a trusted partner, they’re in our care until they’re returned to your family.
Licensed, certified, conscientious staff. All Dignity Memorial crematory operators are licensed and certified by Cremation Association of North America, or CANA. Only one person at a time is cremated, and the cremation chamber is thoroughly cleaned before the next person is cremated.

History

In 1955, Frank Perna opened Perna Funeral Home on Massachusetts Avenue on Buffalo’s west side. In 1963, he built a second location on Hertel Avenue in North Buffalo. The Massachusetts Avenue funeral home operated until 1970, when it closed.

In 2004, Frank’s daughter, Constance Perna, and her late husband, Michael Pellegrino, opened a state-of-the-art funeral home at 1671 Maple Road in Williamsville. Frank's Hertel Avenue location and the new Maple Road funeral home both became known as Perna-Pellegrino Funeral Home.

Mergers to accommodate growth

Front Exterior at Perna, Dengler, Roberts Funeral Home In 2008, the Perna-Pellegrino funeral homes joined with Dengler and Roberts funeral home group, which had formed in 1999, when the Dengler funeral homes merged with George J. Roberts and Sons. In July of the following year, the 2 Perna-Pellegrino funeral homes were renamed Perna, Dengler, Roberts.

Today, we operate as part of the Dignity Memorial^® network of funeral, burial, cremation and cemetery service providers under Constance's steady guidance and expertise.
