Yes — our direct cremation package is a flat $995, and that price includes everything legally required: transportation (within 30 miles), refrigeration, filing of permits and death certificate, cremation, and return of ashes in a plastic urn. There are no hidden fees. Optional services like additional death certificates or upgraded urns are available upon request, but never pushed.

In most cases, the cremation process — including permits and required waiting periods — takes approximately 7 to 10 business days. This timeline can vary depending on county processing times and family documentation.

Absolutely. Preplanning allows you to secure today's price of $995 and ensure your wishes are honored in advance. It also relieves your loved ones of financial and emotional decisions during a time of grief. We offer easy and secure preplanning arrangements — just call us to get started.
