Are there any additional costs to a low-cost direct cremation in Hialeah?
The only additional fee is the county fee, which is subject to change and payable to the county to facilitate the cremation process.
If the deceased weighs over 200 pounds, a pacemaker needs to be removed before cremation, or a residential collection is required.
Can we still have a funeral service if we arrange a direct cremation?
Yes, of course. Once you have the cremated remains returned, you can arrange a memorial service. A memorial service is a type of funeral service where the deceased’s body is not present. You can hold a memorial service with or without the cremation urn present.
A memorial funeral service can also be an ash scattering ceremony, a candlelit vigil, or a tribute. We have resources to help you plan and create your own memorial tributes in our Memorialization section.

What Happens if the Deceased is Taken to the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner’s Office?
If the circumstances surrounding the death led to the deceased being taken to the County Coroner’s office, you will need to employ the services of a funeral director as soon as possible to liaise with the Coroner and have the body released into their care. Only a licensed funeral director can collect a body from the Coroner’s morgue.
As funeral directors are familiar with the process, and the body is released with a death certificate & cremation permit, it is generally easy to keep costs low for a direct cremation service for an individual who has been in the care of the Medical Examiner.
