About Omega Society
The Omega Society was founded in 2004 by Julie de Michaelis and her husband as a family-run alternative to conventional funeral industry pricing and service structures. The business has evolved to include second- and third-generation family members who introduced digital systems to replace original manual processes. The facility includes an on-site crematory and accommodates identification viewings and private viewings. Staff members are frequently recognized by name in reviews, with families noting support extended beyond cremation itself, including follow-up resources and outreach.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to plan a funeral?
Planning a funeral can vary in time depending on the arrangements and the individual's preferences. It can take a few days to a few weeks to finalize all the details. However, with funeral preplanning, you can take your time to make decisions at your own pace, ensuring everything is in place well in advance.
How much do funerals cost?
The cost of a funeral can vary widely based on factors such as the type of service, casket choice, burial or cremation, and location. According to the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), the median cost of a funeral with a viewing and burial in 2023 was approximately $8,300 (not including a burial vault, which adds another $1,695).
How much does cremation cost?
Similar to funerals, the cost of cremation can vary based on the type of cremation, urn selection, and whether you choose a memorial service. The NFDA reports the average cost of a cremation with a viewing in 2023 was about $6,280.
Is it cheaper to preplan a funeral?
Preplanning funeral arrangements can often be more cost-effective than arranging a funeral at the time of need. This is because you can lock in current prices and avoid future price increases. Additionally, prepaid funeral plans allow you to spread out payments over time, making it easier to manage financially.
How can I pay for a preplanned funeral?
Altogether offers flexible payment options for preplanned funerals to help you and your family members save money. You can pay in full with cash or a credit card or spread out the cost over time with a convenient installment plan.
Will my plans be able to be changed after I pass?
Generally, prepaid funeral plans and arrangements cannot be altered after the individual has passed away. This is because the funds have already been allocated, and vendor contracts have been finalized. However, it's essential to discuss any specific concerns or potential changes with your funeral planner beforehand.
