More people are choosing cremation today to save money on a funeral. According to the National Funeral Directors Association, a funeral service can traditionally cost around $7,484, not including a cemetery plot.
A cremation can work out significantly cheaper. In fact, a simple direct cremation is just about the least expensive disposition you can arrange. It offers a simple and efficient means to arrange a disposition at minimum cost.
Why choose a direct cremation service?
Direct cremation is a dignified yet affordable alternative to keep funeral expenses down. The funeral home handles everything to care for the deceased and conduct the cremation.
After a direct cremation, you can choose to have the ashes returned for a memorial service or scattered. Many families find arranging a direct cremation an easy way to keep funeral costs down. It can also allow you to have a little more control over when and where to conduct any memorial tribute.
With the DFS Memorials provider for Oklahoma City, a complete direct cremation is available for $945.

How much should a cremation cost in Oklahoma City?
Cremation costs can vary. Prices depend on the type of cremation service option you select and the cremation service provider. Typically, funeral homes do not openly disclose prices, and many families have been shocked to find out how much a funeral home wants to charge for a basic cremation.
The Internet has changed how we shop for cremation services and costs. The shift to cremation and lower costs has resulted in something of a ‘price war’ in many areas.
The average cost for a direct cremation in Oklahoma City is $1,905*, while costs for a cremation memorial or a full-service cremation average between $3,500 and $5,500. That is why it is important to check prices and compare options.
At DFS Memorials we do that shopping around and comparison for you. We select only local, low-cost, and reputable funeral homes that offer a ‘best value’ cremation service.

I have been researching and writing about the death care industry for the past fifteen years. End-of-life services and experiences are topics most people avoid thinking about until they must face them. My work provides comprehensive and independent resources for families, explaining the workings of the funeral industry, the laws governing funeral practices, and the death care trends that impact consumers. With a BA in Cultural Studies, I bring a unique perspective to analyzing cultural death care rituals, complemented by a career background in Business Management. The death care industry is undergoing significant changes, which I find fascinating. The shift towards cremation services and the emergence of sustainable alternatives like aquamation and human composting are of particular interest. I am also intrigued by how technology is reshaping the funeral planning process and experience. I write for US Funerals Online and DFS Memorials LLC, and contribute to various forums and publications within the death care industry.
