Our Services

Cremation has become a popular option for many people in the South Coast Region because it can be more flexible as to where and when you hold a service. You can hold a traditional funeral service before a cremation or memorial service at any time with or without the urn present. You can keep the urn, scatter the ashes, or have the urn buried in a grave or columbarium where a service can be conducted for family and friends. When you choose cremation, New Day is here to offer you a meaningful and memorable ceremony based on your desires.

A funeral service is a special time for family and friends to comfort one another, begin to find healing, and celebrate a life well lived. Whether you choose burial or cremation, you can hold a funeral service to honor and remember your loved one. We can assist you in holding a traditional funeral in New Bedford or something completely unique. Many cultures and religions have special funeral traditions, and we will do our best to accommodate your requests. This is a notable moment for you and your family, and we would be honored to help you in any way we can.

Just like a funeral service, a memorial service is a time to remember your loved one. A memorial service can be held shortly after death or weeks later, with or without an urn present. Memorial services create a time and a place for family and friends to gather together, support one another, share memories, and pay their respects. We can hold a memorial service at our funeral home, the final resting place, or at your home. 

A casket burial is a traditional service that provides you with many options. The Licensed Funeral Directors and experienced staff at New Day can provide:

• An immediate burial without a public service 
  
• A visitation, viewing or wake with a closed or open casket 
  
• A funeral service at our funeral home, church or private home 
  
• And a graveside service at a cemetery. 
  

You can choose any combination that works for your family, including a combination of public and private services. It is entirely up to you how you wish to pay your respects. Contact New Day in New Bedford, Massachusetts, to learn more about burial options.
