Frequently asked questions

Questions about brooklyn and new york resources

Why is the directory short?

A focused official list is easier to verify and maintain than a large directory of changing private providers.

Can the funeral home recommend an attorney or counselor?

Ask the funeral director whether current referral information is available. The website does not publish unverified providers.

Are these links legal advice?

No. They are official starting points. Individual advice should come from the responsible agency or a qualified professional.
