How much does a cremation cost?

The cost of the funeral varies depending on the wishes you have.  The average cost of a cremation is between $2,000-$4,000, however, at Aftercare Cremation our most basic services cost as little as $695.  The cost includes all professional services including transportation, the use of a facility, and cremation of your loved one.

Why is cremation so expensive?

Cremations are labor intensive and require a lot of work from a lot of people.  The cost of a cremation goes beyond merchandise such as urns, it includes the services of a funeral director in making the necessary arrangements, filling out forms, and dealing with all the other people involved in the death (doctors, lawyers, insurance companies).  The cost of operating a funeral home is factored into the cost as well.  Funeral homes are a 24 hour operation, with extensive facilities that need to be maintained and secured.
