Frequently asked questions

What is cremation planning?

Cremation planning refers to the act of selecting a cremation provider before death. It informs your family of your preferred method of disposition and relieves them of the responsibility of finding a cremation provider in your area.

Where can I find the best prepaid cremation plans?

Both funeral homes and direct cremation providers offer prepaid cremation plans. Direct cremation providers typically offer more affordable options than funeral homes. Search for a direct cremation provider in your area to find an affordable and compassionate service.

How do you pre-plan a cremation arrangement?

The simplest and least expensive type of cremation is direct cremation. Consult with a direct cremation provider in your area; most allow you to pre-plan and prepay for services. Fill out an online form to get a free guide from Smart Cremation.

Is pre-planning a cremation more cost-effective?

Yes, pre-planning a cremation is more cost-effective than paying for cremation after death. Prepaying allows you to lock in the current rate, and it keeps the family from emotionally overspending after the death.

Are there payment plans available for a cremation?

Yes, payment plans are available to pay for end-of-life expenses. Make sure you work with a dependable company that will secure your prepaid funds in a state-approved trust account.

Will Smart Cremation give me an itemized price list?
