Direct Cremation is a simple Cremation without a formal funeral service. It is our most affordable option and allows families to hold a private memorial at a later date, on their own terms.

Our direct Cremation starts at $1,195. The package includes transportation within our service area, Cremation container, filing of required permits and certificates, and return of cremated remains to your family. Families who wish to be present at the crematory may add a Witness Cremation option, an additional fee of $550 & Up.
