Private wakes

In the wake of COVID-19 and beyond, many families are choosing private services instead of traditional public wakes and memorials. Private wakes, church services, and graveside memorials, including for cremations, allow families to gather in smaller groups to honor their loved one in a more intimate setting.

At Lacerenza’s, our newly renovated facility is designed to accommodate social distancing, and is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before and after every service. We provide ample hand sanitizer throughout the building and restrooms, and our staff follows all health guidelines both on-site and at church and graveside services to ensure the safety of all attendees.

If desired, we can help arrange public memorial services at a later time, offering assistance with mass cards, memorial gifts, and custom programs. We also provide contactless arrangements online or by phone if you prefer. Feel free to reach out to our licensed funeral directors at (203) 324-0158 or contact us by email for assistance.
