Services
The Cremation Society of New Hampshire is a membership driven organization that helps individuals and their families make plans for their end-of-life arrangements. Our roots in funeral service reach back to 1906 through Phaneuf Funeral Homes & Crematorium. The Cremation Society was incorporated as a separate entity in 1995 and we are now the only business in the state that is dedicated solely to promoting cremation.
I, the undersigned, hereby authorize and give permission to the Cremation Society of New Hampshire or their designated agent to transfer the deceased from the place of death to their facility. I further authorize that I have the legal authority to make this decision and accept full financial responsibility for paying for the cremation.
What some may consider unnecessary, we consider good sense and assurance for proper end-of-life care. What do you envision for your end-of-life arrangements? Is your family aware of your wishes? The value of planning your end-of-life services while you are still healthy and happy is that you are empowered to make those crucial decisions, so your desires are known, and financial pressure is taken off of your family's shoulders.
Every time you interact with someone, you leave your mark on them. This is what forms their perceptions of you, the memories of experiences you share, and how you touched their life in your own unique way. Let those precious memories be the legacy you leave your loved ones. When you take the time to pre-plan your final arrangements, you leave your family with the gracious gift of time.
In cases where someone's passing is approaching, whether that be months, weeks or even days, there are good reasons to plan ahead. It's hard when someone you love is nearing the end of their life. However, planning ahead can help ease some of the difficulties and make the process a little less stressful.

When we lose a loved one, the tasks of making end of life arrangements can feel overwhelming. There are so many details to handle at a time we really do not feel like doing much but grieve. My wife and I both lost our mothers in late 2021. The staff at Cremation Society of NH treated us like family. Their online form made initiating the process quick and easy. We worked with Aeriel Cardillo both times and she helped us deal with everything from getting our loved ones from the hospital, working through all the decisions that needed to be made, to getting the death certificates. They made one of

The folks at Cremation Society of New Hampshire are the absolute BEST!! Aeriel was so excellent throughout the process- professional, efficient and so supportive during a very difficult time. Our family is so grateful and highly recommend CSNH for their expertise, empathy and value offered during the grief process. They coordinated organ donation as well and followed up on a number of occasions after cremation to check on us. Thank you so much <3

I was referred to Cremation Society of New Hampshire by the people giving hospice to my father. It was easy to set up online and when he passed away, they were quick to pick him up. They were also quite fast at getting him back to us. Everyone I dealt with was so nice and very compassionate. I will be signing my mother up shortly, so everything is in place when her time arrives. I highly recommend Cremation Society of New Hampshire.

I needed to have arrangements made and ready ahead of time and I live in California. The cremation society of NH was the only place that would even talk with me. They were kind, knowledgeable and considerate of my feelings and time. They were able to handle almost everything of the phone and when they need signatures they sent it to me very quickly. They still check on me even after the death of my brother. I would not go anywhere else.. if I could I would give them a hundred stars. Thank you 😄😄

Cremation Society of New Hampshire provides an excellent service with great comfort for the family. They were very helpful at the time when our family was dealing with difficult decisions. When all was taken care of they reached out to ask how the family was doing. Really nice to have a company care about families in difficult times.

The Cremation Society of New Hampshire is wonderful. It was easy for my sister to pre-arrange her desired services and to prepay. When she passed I heard from Mark immediately. I live in Nebraska, and the distance is irrelevant to the thoroughness of the Society’s contacts with me. Obtaining death certificates was an easy process, and any questions were promptly answered. Elizabeth has also been very helpful by checking with me to see how I am doing and to offer advice through the grief process. I highly recommend their services.

My dad passed away in September 2021. As a family we always avoided talking about or even making plans for end of life and then this happened.
If you elect cremation for your end of life choice, you need to use the Cremation Society of New Hampshire. The staff is terrific and highly professional. Aeriel not only helped us through the whole process, she made it pain-free, bearable and affordable in helping us make the right plans for dad.
She was in constant contact and went over and beyond in making everything perfect. We are grateful to her and the staff in treating not only us in our time of

You all have helped quite a lot during that time. So first of all on behalf of our family, Thank you so much to Aron and the entire team, who have helped before and during that time.
We think "Thank you" word is very short in front of what you all have helped and the care you all are taking, by giving us a courage during this tough time.
We can feel that we have someone if we we need any help.
Also as I mentioned to Aaron, you all have created perfect environment on that day, we felt it's our own community cremation place. It was nice and perfect matching and soothing music, on top of that My

My Father was ill and in hospice in September 2021. His wishes were to be cremated so I looked online for various options in the New Hampshire area. I found a couple but the one that really stood out was the Cremation Society of New Hampshire. Their prices were certainly better than others, and when I contacted them, the customer service was fabulous. My father died a few days later and they took the ball and ran with it getting everything done very quickly and professionally. They kept me Informed every step of the way. They followed up with me weeks later just to see how I was doing. Very professional
