What We Do
Looking for a Funeral Home in North Miami Beach, FL?
Inarguably, the most difficult processes a family will ever experience is the death of a loved one. Regardless of your specific family circumstance, death is agonizing for those connected to the deceased. What’s more, in the days and weeks to follow there is an unavoidable, overwhelming series of events to have played out: contacting friends, family, coworkers, acquaintances; making arrangements for services, financial aspects, etc.
The staff at Ferdinand Funeral Homes & Crematory can help. We are here, waiting to support you through this uniquely difficult time with our generations of experience required of anyone guiding families through loss and funereal arrangements.
Why Funeral Services for the Deceased?
Why hold post-death services? Rituals such as funerals, memorial services, and celebrations of life are just as symbolic and necessary to our life trajectory as weddings and birthdays. They are symbolic in nature and mark new chapters in our lives—good or bad. Celebratory rituals help us to express our raw feelings and thoughts during the most important events life has to offer. Here is a list of what coming together and holding ritualistic ceremonies have in common:
- They are typically a public event.
- They tend to follow an established, culturally specific process (in general, the details of a ritual may vary, but the general pattern is apparent).
- As mentioned, rituals are symbolic. Examples: wedding rings, christening gowns, birthday cakes, black attire at funerals, a white dress on the bride.

Services Provided at Ferdinand:
Dedicatory ceremonies are to be as exceptional as the decedents they represent. Our staff appreciates the importance of providing a loving space for family and friends to gather together for a ceremony and share memories, tears, laughs, express emotions, and provide support to one another; the gathering is a pivotal facet of the grieving process. At Ferdinand, these are the services provided:
- Funeral or memorial services: gathering together provides the survivors the opportunity to gather, share memories, provide and find comfort, and express feelings. We offer a lovely setting for coming together and honoring the deceased. Funeral service can be held in a church or memorial chapel, or even in the family home.
- Cremation services: this option refers only to the way in which you or your loved one has opted to deal with the physical remains. This can be combined with any other service at Ferdinand. In fact, we encourage families to have a ceremony—years from not, you will not regret that.
- Burial services: if a burial is opted for, we will often design the ceremony to revolve around the casket being present. We can include a formal viewing, if desired. There is no “one way” to design the ceremony you want for your loved one.
