I would never go here for a funeral or any service. We had an issue with my grandsons ashes. We went to Mangano with a court order to make sure they gave my grandson's ashes to no one but me. (I raised him from the time he was a week old) I also called to make sure everyone that worked there knew what was going on. (We personally went there twice, to make sure they understood what was going on.)
They decided to do what they wanted and gave half my grandsons ashes to his mother who was taken off the paperwork at Mangano's. I wasn't aware that this happened until we noticed that what we received wasn't correct.
I called several times to complain, the manager Sean said the owner would call me back, it was out of his hands. I called several times and never heard from the owner. Someone called me back once I missed their call, after several more calls still no response.
My husband and I paid for my grandsons cremation and Mangano did what they wanted.
They had no right to give my grandson to anyone. My grandson is now 1/2 in the ground which as a family we decided that we did not want that.
This is what I found on the internet
Generally, a funeral home should not release cremated remains to a different family member if they've been explicitly told not to do so by the person who made the arrangements and has the right to custody of the ashes. The funeral home's primary duty is to honor the wishes of the person who arranged the cremation and paid the bill, who typically has the right to possession.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Contractual Agreements:
Funeral homes usually have contracts with the person making the arrangements, outlining who is responsible for the ashes.
Right to Possession:
The person who arranged the cremation and paid for the services generally has the right to the ashes and can decide what to do with them.
Disputes:
If there are disagreements or a disagreement, the funeral home should not release the ashes to a different family member without proper legal documentation or a court order.
Legal Considerations:
In some cases, the person who paid for the cremation may be considered the executor of the estate, which would give them the right to dispose of the ashes.
Family Wishes:
While the funeral home should respect the wishes of the person who made the arrangements, they may also consider the overall wishes of the family, especially if there are disputes or unclear instructions.
Contacting the Family:
If there are questions or disputes about the ashes, the funeral home should contact the family involved and try to resolve the issue.
Holding Ashes:
Funeral homes can hold ashes for a period of time, typically 60 days to 4 years, before releasing them.
In conclusion, a funeral home should not release ashes to another family member without the express permission or a legal order, as the person who made the arrangements and paid for the cremation generally has the right to possess and decide what to do with the ashes.
My daughter was supposed to call a crematory not a funeral parlor, she did all this while we were at the hospital with my grandson dying. As soon as we found out what she did we went directly to the funeral parlor to make sure his ashes were not split up. We also paid Mangano in full for his cremation while there. (As stated before, we raised my grandson from the time he was a week old, my court order has me with final decision making over both my grandsons parents)
So be aware. I will be contacting a lawyer for this situation, but you should be aware of what they did before you send your loved one to them.

What we expected to be the most difficult part of handling the unexpected loss of a loved one was actually the easiest, most relieving experience of the whole ordeal thanks to Kim and the rest of the Mangano Funeral Home staff. Their experience and expertise in handling these difficult matters is apparent in every step they take with you. They handled everything we needed so efficiently and took care of the things we would never have even thought of. Within in all the sadness and chaos of such an unfortunate life experience, Mangano Funeral Home offered us peace, and for that, we are forever thankful.
