No. You are never required to use a traditional funeral home. With direct cremation, you can skip the cost of embalming, a casket, and formal funeral director services, and pay only for what you want. It is a simple, affordable, and dignified choice that many local families make.
Our direct cremation starts at $895, with no hidden fees. The price covers the basic, essential services, and you can add things like extra death certificates or an urn if you wish. See our full pricing here.
Direct cremation is the simplest option. Your loved one is cremated soon after death, without a formal viewing or service first. You receive the cremated remains and can hold a memorial later, whenever and wherever you like.
No. The cremated remains are returned in a simple temporary container, which is fine if you plan to scatter them or place them in a cemetery. If you want a keepsake or plan a service, a nicer urn is a lovely choice. Browse our urns and keepsakes.
Absolutely. Many families choose cremation and then hold a memorial service at their church, home, or a special place. The law does not require funeral home staff to be present, so you are free to celebrate your loved one’s life your way.
