What is direct cremation?
Direct cremation is the simplest and most affordable form of end-of-life care. There is no formal funeral service beforehand — the cremation takes place shortly after death, and the ashes are returned to the family.
This allows families the freedom to hold a memorial or celebration of life in their own time, in a way that feels personal and meaningful.
Includes:
- Collection of your loved one from the place of death
- All required paperwork, permits, and documentation
- Cremation carried out by a licensed provider
- Return of ashes to your family
Who Are DFS Memorials?
DFS Memorials is a nationwide network that connects families directly with trusted, local cremation providers.
We are not a funeral home and do not carry out cremations ourselves. Instead, we help you find a licensed provider in your area — often at a significantly lower cost than traditional funeral services.
By working with independent, locally owned providers, we make it easier to compare options, understand pricing, and arrange cremation services quickly and without pressure.
How much does cremation cost?
Cremation costs vary depending on location and provider. Through the DFS Memorials network, families can often arrange a simple direct cremation for significantly less than the national average cost of a traditional funeral.
Prices are based on current DFS network provider rates and may vary. Always confirm pricing directly with your chosen provider.
| Location type | Cost |
|---|---|
| Major Metro areas | $795 – $1,295 |
| Mid-size cities | $995 – $1,695 |
| Rural areas | $1,295 – $3,500 |
