Why Cremation Prices Vary in Ohio
If you've compared providers, you've probably seen a wide range of prices — and received very few of them in writing. The difference usually comes down to what's bundled in: some providers quote a low number and add required charges later, while others fold in services you may not want, like embalming or a viewing.
We take a different approach. Our price for direct cremation is $725, it's listed here on this page, and it covers everything your family actually needs: the funeral director's services, care and refrigeration, the required container, the cremation, and the return of your loved one's remains. Optional extras are priced separately — and those prices are listed here too.
As a dedicated cremation center rather than a full-service funeral home, we can keep the price this low while giving every family the same standard of dignity and care.
