This process includes transporting the deceased to the crematory, performing the cremation, and returning the ashes to the family in a temporary urn. A PLUS Cremation provides compassionate and affordable cremation services, ensuring dignity and respect for your loved ones.

The average cost of direct cremation with A PLUS Cremation starts at $1,995. This price covers the removal of the body, transportation to a refrigerated shelter, the cremation process, and a temporary container for the ashes. This transparent pricing helps families manage expenses during a difficult time.

There is usually a mandatory waiting period of at least 24 hours before the cremation can take place. This period allows for the completion of necessary paperwork and permits. A PLUS Cremation ensures a swift response, typically handling the entire process efficiently and with compassion. In fact in some cases, the whole process from the picking up of your loved one to the return of the ashes, can be done within 10 days if not sooner.
