Our package charges for direct cremation includes basic services of funeral director and staff, the local transfer (within 10 miles) of remains to the funeral home, sheltering of the remains for up to 48 hours, obtaining necessary permits and authorizations, (but not the actual cost of death certificates, permits and filing fees), local transportation to the crematory. This charge does not include the use of facilities and staff for any visitation or ceremony, public or private, prior to cremation, or any sheltering for days on which no post death activities occur. Nor does it include the actual cost of the cremation process, which is a crematory charge, that is detailed below.
If you want to arrange a direct cremation, you can use an alternative container. Alternative containers encase the body and can be made of materials like fiberboard or composition materials (with or without an outside covering). The containers we provide are cardboard.
