Direct Cremation questions

What is included?

Typically transfer of the deceased into care, the cremation itself, required paperwork and permits, and return of the remains in a basic container. Urns, memorial services, and death certificates are usually priced separately.

Why do prices vary so much?

There is no standard price, and families rarely compare. Providers in the same city routinely differ by thousands of dollars for the same service.

Can I get a price over the phone?

Yes. The FTC Funeral Rule requires funeral providers to give price information over the telephone if you ask, and to hand you an itemized price list in person.
