Pre-planning ensures that your wishes are precisely followed, while your family is not burdened with the task of making emotionally difficult decisions. If you simply wish to make your choices in advance and keep them on file, we are happy to help you with this at no charge. Should you wish to pre-fund your funeral arrangements, we can assist you to set money aside in a FDIC insured, interest-bearing account to cover costs so that no financial obligation remains. You can also transfer to the Daniel R. Smolarek Funeral Home any pre-paid funeral services that you may have previously made at another funeral firm. We will assist you in completing all necessary paperwork to complete the proper funding and/or transfer.
Allow our trained licensed funeral directors to explain all of your pre-planning options to you.

Applying for Medicaid?
The Daniel R. Smolarek Funeral Home specializes in assisting families with all Medicaid required Pre-Paid Funeral Arrangements. Our funeral directors are experienced to personally assist you with all County, State and Federal SSI/Social Security rules and regulations. We routinely work directly with families and the Department of Social Services caseworkers to ensure proper Medicaid funeral approval. New York State requires all contracts for Medicaid applicants or recipients have their funds placed in an Irrevocable Trust.
