Frequently Asked Questions โ€” Cremation in Mckeesport

What is the cheapest cremation option in Mckeesport, Pennsylvania?

The cheapest direct cremation in Mckeesport is $975 at Robert A. Waters Funeral Home, located at 2326 Jenny Lind. Call 412-672-3551 for current availability.

Is direct cremation legal in Pennsylvania?

Yes, direct cremation is legal in all 50 states including Pennsylvania. The FTC Funeral Rule guarantees your right to choose only the services you want. No funeral home can require you to purchase embalming, a viewing, or a casket if you choose direct cremation.

What is the difference between direct cremation and cremation with a service?

Direct cremation has no embalming, no viewing, and no funeral ceremony at the funeral home. It's the simplest and least expensive option. Cremation with a service (sometimes called "cremation with memorial") adds one or more of those elements โ€” a viewing before cremation, a funeral ceremony at the funeral home, or a graveside service. Each addition increases the cost.

Can I hold a memorial service after direct cremation?

Yes. Many families choose direct cremation precisely because it separates the practical arrangements from the memorial. Once you have the ashes, you can hold a memorial service anywhere โ€” at home, at a park, at a church, or at a restaurant โ€” at any time that works for the family. There is no funeral home fee for this.
