Simply Cremation

Simply Cremation

We created the Simply Cremation Plan for families who desire a simpler, more affordable cremation option. This plan provides for cremation only and includes no additional services except transfer of the deceased to our funeral home, electronically filing the death certificate, and cremation process. The cremains will be contained in a clear poly bag housed in a black plastic box, housed inside a white cardboard box. 

$2,995.00* 

*Eliminating additional services allows us to offer you this low price. Thus, if you choose the Simply Cremation Plan, these following services are NOT provided: 

  • Scheduling of Funeral Services. If you desire a funeral service, memorial service, or graveside service, you must arrange it on your own with a church or other facility. You will also need to contact the cemetery to arrange the burial of cremains or their placement within a columbarium. 
  • Obituary Writing and Placement. The writing and placement of obituaries will require that you deal directly with the newspaper(s) of your choosing. If you would like our assistance, please see this option on our General Price List, under Obituary Services. 
  • Printing/Memorial Folders & Registry Books. To keep the Simply Cremation Plan affordable we are unable to provide printing services. 
  • Disbursement of Any Funeral Trust Funds. You will be responsible for obtaining funds set up with outside insurance agencies. The funeral home will claim funds set up by our funeral home. Any excess funds will be issued to you. You will need to write individual checks (or other forms of payment) for cemetery fees, clergy stipends, musicians, caterers, death certificate copies, etc.
