A direct cremation provider handles every aspect of the cremation process, from picking up the body to delivering the ashes. This can be a more affordable option because you’re cutting out the middleman.

Many funeral homes ship the deceased off to a crematory for cremation. Finding a funeral home that does it all means less cost for you, but also gives you the assurance of knowing where your loved ones’ remains are being held at all times.

It's important to know that not all cremation providers handle the cremation themselves. Learn what cremation is and why finding a direct cremation provider matters.

We sleep one-third of our lives away. So it makes sense that some of us would pass away while sleeping.

Many individuals die in their sleep without others knowing of any pain or struggle. In other words, passing away in your sleep can be a peaceful way to go.

However, there are many physical reasons why someone can die while sleeping.

Let's look at some of the most common ways people die during sleep.

Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader who dreamed of a world where justice, equality, and peace prevail. His courage and vision remind us that change is possible when we come together with hope and determination.

Dr. King’s work calls on each of us to take action—big or small—to build a brighter future. Whether through volunteering, learning, or uplifting others, we can all play a part in continuing his mission.

Let’s honor his memory by being the change we wish to see.

Serving Families Since 1920

Guiding you through a time of uncertainty. It is what our family has been doing since 1920. Today, we specialize in cremations with our own exclusively modern cremation center. This allows families to participate in the experience by simply saying goodbye one last time OR assist with the start of the cremation process. We are experts in natural (green) burials having performed many dozens of local green funerals and burials all of which were approved by the Green Burial Council.

We are a privately owned funeral home in North Raleigh owned by 3rd and 4th generation family funeral directors. Born from the knowledge of our paternal great grandfather and grandfather, Renaissance came to exist in 2003 with roots dating back to 1920 in Brooklyn, NY with the creation of Smolenski Funeral Home. In the 1940’s, another family funeral home was opened in Hempstead, NY; and then during the 1950’s, another funeral home in New Hyde Park, NY.
