We've always enjoyed being a part of this community and spend a great deal of time working closely with local businesses in support of the families we serve. We hope that you will find these links helpful as you seek local contacts to provide the products or services that you need.
Death Certificate Information
During an arrangement conference with a decedent's family, one of the items discussed is the number of certified copies of the death certificate that are needed to take care of financial and administrative matters. If the death occurred in Monroe County, we can obtain these copies at anytime. Death certificate copies are currently $30/copy.
If the death occurred outside of Monroe County, then the death certificate is filed in the locale (county, city, town or village) where the individual passed away. The time frame to obtain these copies as well as the cost per copy varies depending on the locale.
If you should have any questions, please call us at 585-429-6700.
Restaurants
If you're looking for a relaxing setting for a meal or something on the run, Rochester restaurants offer just that. Some of the restaurants offer a cozy dinning room setting or you can eat outside on their patios, weather permitting. The menus have something for everyone including a complete selection of steaks, chicken and pasta as well as a children's menu. If you would like to call ahead to book a reservation, we have conveniently provided you with addresses and phone numbers.

Cemeteries
At a cemetery, lives are commemorated, deaths are recorded, families are reunited, memories are made tangible and love is undisguised. Communities pay their respect, families bestow reverence, historians seek information and our heritage is thereby enriched.
Testimonies of devotion, pride and remembrance are carved in stone to pay warm tribute to accomplishments and to the life - not death - of a loved one. The cemetery is homeland for family memorials that are a sustaining source of comfort to the living. A cemetery is a history of people; a perpetual record of yesterday and a sanctuary of peace and quiet today. A cemetery exists because every life is worth remembering - always.
As a convenience we have included a listing of many of the local cemeteries in our area. A growing number of cemeteries are beginning to publish their own web sites to allow visitors to learn more about their services, fees and applicable bylaws.
