Cremation Services by Eternal Cremations

How Much Does Cremation Cost?

The price of cremation for someone who passed away differs by numerous factors, this includes who the is provider, the place where it will happen, and the services that will be included and performed.

An actual cremation and the services that may be included with it could be as cheap as several hundred dollars if it is a direct cremation to around ten thousand dollars. While the usual cremation is fairly straightforward, there are many other services also and factors to think about, all of those could add quickly to the cost of cremation for a loved one.

AVERAGE COST OF CREMATION

The usual cremation cost if you go for a direct cremation is around $1,100. In specific places such as the big apple, the price of a usual direct cremation could be thousands of dollars. However, some smaller towns have direct cremations that are offered for around five hundred dollars. Given this wide selection in price, it is vital to do some research and get several quotes before you make a decision. It is mainly a better idea to consult friends or relatives for a suggestion.

Make sure that you understand precisely what is being offered with every quote. For example, simply ask if is it only for a cremation? Is a cremation casket included and used for the actual cremation? Is viewing included? Will there be a memorial service before the cremation? Does the price include the transportation of the loved one?

The solution is to ask a lot of questions to make things clear. Ensure you understand completely the price and the services offered for the cost you have given.

It is far too often in a family that during their time of grief, they would not understand fully what are the services offered by the provider for the cost they are quoted and would end up paying more than what they expected.

CREMATION SERVICES

Sometimes, and only in some states, there are also funeral homes that have their own crematoriums. But most of the time it is done by a third-party service instead of the funeral home.

The payments required by the cremation provider is usually an inclusion in the offered package by the funeral home. Nevertheless, there are some instances that this fee is not part of the quote given by a funeral director. It is important to make sure in asking about it if any added fees there in order to have the cremation done.

FUNERAL HOME

If you have made a decision to coordinate with a funeral home, it is very helpful as the funeral home can direct you through the whole process. A lot of families usually have a relationship already with a local funeral home which they have coordinated before. If you have no idea regarding funeral homes near to your area, it would be a nice idea to consult someone you highly trust for a recommendation. The usual quote for funeral home services would stretch from $2,000 to $6,000, In addition, the provided basic services usually include:

* Handling all necessary paperwork and permits
* Arrange the copy of the death certificate;
* Coordinating and arranging the cremation including any extras fees you decide upon
* Transportation for your loved one
* Answering any queries and provide you instructions through the whole process.

CREMATION URNS

The majority of the funeral homes would return the cremation ashes of your loved ones in a container which is usually included in the quote of the cremation. A lot of families prefer not to keep this urn, and rather buy another type of urn that represents more for their loved one. The price of a cremation urn would range from $50 to around $2,000. In addition, according to a price study performed recently by the NFDA, the cremation urn’s usual price is $295.

MEMORIAL SERVICE

A memorial service could be done before or even after the cremation. If it is done prior, the loved one is commonly presented inside a casket. If it is done after the cremation, the ashes are typically presented in an urn and a member of the church would usually hold the ceremony or you can simply have a service for family and friends.
