Kraeer-Fairchild Funeral Home and Cremation Center

Kraeer-Fairchild Funeral Home and Cremation Center, located at 4061 North Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is a premier funeral service provider with a rich history spanning over a century. The funeral home represents the merger of two landmark families: Kraeer Funeral Home, founded by R. Jay Kraeer and his wife Lorraine in 1952 in Pompano Beach, and Fairchild Funeral Home, the oldest funeral home in Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. The two businesses merged in 2007, creating a legacy of compassionate care and community service that continues to this day.

As a member of the Dignity Memorial network, Kraeer-Fairchild offers a comprehensive range of services including traditional funerals, cremations, cemetery services, and personalized celebrations of life. The funeral home operates its own crematory, providing both traditional flame cremation and a no-flame alternative known as calcination. Their modern facility on North Federal Highway features a contemporary, beach-themed atmosphere and is wheelchair accessible with free on-site parking.

The staff at Kraeer-Fairchild are dedicated to creating meaningful and affordable tributes that reflect the unique personality of each loved one. Whether families desire a direct cremation, a traditional funeral with graveside service, or a modern celebration of life with music, food, and personalized mementos such as dove releases, ice cream socials, or customized golf balls, the team goes above and beyond to honor every request. They even offer memorial services on the beach.
