How Direct Cremation Works
Easy 4 Step Process
Arrangements made online using our efficient web forms or over the telephone.
Our licensed funeral directors transfer your loved one into our care. Your family member is then kept in our climate controlled facility while the cremation paperwork is filed with the relevant authorities.
We register the death and procure the necessary authorizations, then arrange a private cremation.
Ashes can be hand delivered, picked up from one of our locations, or shipped via US Postal Service priority mail with a fully trackable ID number to any US postal address.
Losing a loved one is difficult enough, so we created a system to ease the burden of arranging a funeral.
We handle the cremation; you plan the memorial when it suits you.
