Many people today are choosing cremation for their loved one, not only because the cremation cost is much lower but there are many more options that may be selected to carry out a loved one’s final wish. Low cremation cost is continuously enlightening consumers and increasingly changing their beliefs and feelings towards the traditional funeral.  It is not only financially beneficial but allows for a wide range of personal and meaningful options for celebrating the life of your loved one which otherwise would not be possible.   

 A traditional funeral now costs on average more than $10,000.00. Cremation cost is approximately, ¼ of the fee for a traditional burial. The cost for cremation is much lower than other funeral services for many reasons.  Embalming and preparation of human remains is not required, a casket is optional but does not have to be purchased, and cemetery fees may not be incurred.  If you do decide to have your loved one’s cremated remains buried or placed in a niche, the cemetery fees are much more cost effective.  People commonly have a formal funeral ceremony including a viewing / visitation with cremation to follow.  This is the most expensive type of cremation service but it is still much less costly than a traditional burial. Fees can be kept much lower by having a memorial gathering with or without the cremated remains present at a residence, garden, favorite place or church.  This type of memorial gathering eliminates the cost of renting or purchasing a cremation casket as well as the funeral home rental fee. You may decide to have a direct cremation.  Cremation costs for this type of service are the least and provide the most savings.  A direct cremation is the incineration of human remains without any type of memorial gathering or service. 

Our commitment to the desires and needs of the families we serve enhances our tradition of advanced service.  Because cremation costs are so much more affordable than other services, families are able to focus on creating a permanent memorial to honor their loved one.  Permanent memorials aid families throughout the healing process.  A decorative urn can be personalized, a tree can be planted, a cemetery marker, monument or bench can be created to provide families with a lasting permanent memorial to visit.
