aCremation

Costs will vary by region and according to the services that are selected. aCremation’s basic direct cremation service exceeds all state and local requirements. The primary costs are the transport costs to take a loved one into our care, the actual cremation (crematory charges), and service fees for the team who works with the family and files required documents and permits. Government-related fees such as Medical examiner, coroner, permits, and death certificates can also contribute to the overall price. Any additional costs are typically related to any services you choose to have; memorial urn purchases; and permanent memorializations such as columbarium or grave sites.

You will need to discuss this directly with your aCremation Arrangement Counselor but normally it should be viewed prior to being released to aCremation. Often times, it is recommended that an unembalmed body not have a formal viewing because of the natural decomposition that begins immediately after death or the cosmetic appearance of the body after an autopsy is conducted. In these circumstances, if a viewing is desired, the family is typically counseled to consider embalming and/or restorative art.
