Simple Cremation
Cremation without service
In February 2023, pricing surveys were conducted of local funeral homes.
In order to compare "apples to apples," prices were requested for a
direct cremation, utilizing individual line items from each firm's
General Price List. The prices do not include merchandise or cash advance items.
Providers may change their prices without notice and may offer package discounts or discounts made available only if specific merchandise or services are purchased through the funeral home.
The prices are accurate, based upon the information obtained during the survey.
