A direct cremation is when the body is cremated shortly after death, and the deceased is moved from the place of death to our facility, where it is then placed into a cremation container. After filing the necessary cremation documents, the remains are then transported to the crematory for cremation.
Our charge for a direct cremation (without services) includes: basic services of funeral director and staff, a proportionate share of overhead costs, removal of remains, transportation to crematory and temporary container for cremains. If you want to arrange a direct cremation, you can use an alternative container. Alternative containers encase teh body and can be made of materials like fiberboard or composition materials (with or without an outside covering). The container we provide is a cardboard container.
