History of Specialization
BFS was established in 1966 as a support service to funeral directors. A variety of specialty services were offered as a seamless extension of funeral home services. One of the most complex and time-consuming challenges funeral directors consistently found exasperating and costly was international shipments of remains and cremains. Bergen Funeral Service was soon able to help an increasing number of funeral directors, insurance companies and families save time, money and nerves by building an extensive reserve of resources to meet most any international shipping requirement in a very timely manner. Today Bergen Funeral Service has had the opportunity to help over 4,000 funeral homes throughout the world achieve cost-efficiencies and client satisfaction.
