Cremation is becoming an increasingly popular choice for disposition in the Virginia Beach area. The cost of a cremation is significantly less than the cost of a traditional burial, and with the tough economic times, opting for cremation can save families thousands of dollars and make death care more affordable.
The average cost of a simple cremation in Virginia Beach is around $3,000. However, a simple, direct cremation can cost as little as $1,650.
A direct cremation is conducted without any service, and the cremated remains are returned directly to the family. Of course, a memorial service can be held with the cremated remains at a later date.

What different cremation alternatives do I have in Virginia Beach?
There are 3 main types of cremation service options:
A cremation funeral – where the funeral service is held with the deceased present, and a cremation is conducted after the service.
A cremation memorial – where the cremation is conducted before a memorial service is held. This can be with or without the cremated remains present and can often take the form of an ash-scattering ceremony.
A direct cremation – this is where the deceased is cremated with no services, and the remains are given back to the family. There are some variances around these 3 main options, such as a private viewing before cremation, an observed cremation, or a graveside interment of a cremation urn.

I have been researching and writing about the death care industry for the last fifteen years. End of life services and experiences are something most of us choose not to reflect upon until we are suddenly faced with dealing with it. I have been contributing comprehensive and independent resources for families that explain how the funeral industry operates, and the laws that govern funeral practices. Sara writes for US Funerals Online and DFS Memorials LLC, as well as contributing to other forums and publications for the death care industry. I have a BA in Cultural Studies. This helps my analysis of cultural death care rituals, alongside a career background in Business Management. The death care industry is undergoing an epoch of change and this fascinates me.
