About Omega Society

The Omega Society was founded in 2004 by Julie de Michaelis and her husband as a direct-to-consumer alternative to conventional funeral industry pricing and service structures. The business operated as a family-run practice, with second- and third-generation family members later introducing digital systems that replaced the original manual paperwork processes. Fully remote arrangements are available, allowing families to complete the arrangement process without an in-person visit. Families frequently recognize individual staff members by name in reviews and note that support continued beyond the cremation itself, including follow-up resources and outreach.
