About Us
P.X. Dermody Funeral Home has been serving cremation families through our local funeral homes for many years. Over the years we received many inquiries urging us to provide a simple, affordable and dignified cremation service. We felt it was time to fulfill their request.
Cremation Help by Dermodys is proud to offer a new convenient online arrangement process and practical approach to arranging funeral and cremation services. You will never be asked to come in the office, instead, you will make the arrangements in the comfort of your own home.
Whether you’re looking for affordability or a personalized yet simpler tribute, we want you to know that we specialize in cremation. We are now able to offer the services you want at the best online price. We are here to serve your family in their time of need day or night.
This lower cost option still includes the respectful care and professional conduct you have come to expect from Dermodys. These two elements have no price tag associated with them. Instead they are part of our business beliefs and commitment to your family. Our goal is to create a far simpler, less expensive, and more convenient tribute to your loved one.
