Death Away from Home

When funeral arrangements must unexpectedly be made away from home, Burns Garfield Funeral Home will assist you in any way that we can.

WHAT TO DO FIRST

Call Burns Garfield Funeral Home at 315-446-2466 day or night. It is not usually necessary for you to contact an out-of-state funeral home. We can do this for you. We will make the arrangements necessary to transport the deceased to the out-of-state funeral home for embalming, preparation, and return to Syracuse. We will need some basic information from you, and we will ask you to call us upon your return to Syracuse to set a time for an arrangement conference.
