The only on-site crematory in Broward County
Fred Hunter’s Funeral Home in Hollywood is the only funeral home with an on-site crematory in Broward County. The crematory serves all of the Fred Hunter’s funeral homes. Here’s what that means for your family:
- Exclusive custody of your loved one. Once your loved one is in our care, they’re in our care until we return their urn to your family.
- Fast delivery of your loved one’s urn. We’re in control of the crematory schedule and able to let you know up front when we’ll return your loved one to you.
- Accommodation of a witness cremation. Many families prefer to go straight from a service to the crematory to be present when we begin the cremation process for their loved ones. Our crematory was built with that in mind.
