If you have an immediate or imminent need for a simple, low-cost cremation in Daytona Beach, we can help you arrange everything for one low price of $995.
Cremation is a popular choice in Florida, and we understand that many families want a simple, “no fuss” option that can be delivered at a low cost.
A direct cremation package can help you arrange a low-cost funeral. Direct cremation takes care of the immediate disposition of the deceased, and once the cremated remains are available, a memorial or ash-scattering service can be conducted. Or, of course, cremated remains can be shipped to another state for those residents of Florida who are transplants.
Why should you pay more than this when you can take care of everything for $995?
Included in the $995 Simple Cremation Package?
Our simple cremation service includes the following:
- Collection of the deceased from the place of death
- Transfer to the funeral facility
- Shelter of the deceased
- Filing of the death certificate and cremation permit
- The cremation process
- Return the cremated remains in a temporary cremation urn
Are there any extra costs?
Additional fees are county fees, which are subject to change and payable to the county to facilitate the cremation proceeding. Also, if the deceased had a pacemaker, that must be removed before cremation or weighs over 250 pounds.
Can we still have a funeral service if we arrange a direct cremation?
Yes, of course. You can arrange a memorial service once you have the cremated remains returned. A memorial service is a funeral service where the deceased’s body is absent.
You can hold a memorial service with or without the cremation urn present.
A memorial funeral service can also take the shape of an ash scattering ceremony, candlelit vigil, or tribute. You can read more about Scattering Cremated Remains Safely and Ideas for Memorial Tributes on US Funerals Online.
