Frequently Asked Questions — Cremation in Westerly

What is the cheapest cremation option in Westerly, Rhode Island?

The cheapest direct cremation in Westerly is $2,295 at Rushlow-Iacoi Funeral Home & Cremation Services, located at 64 Friendship Street. Call 401-596-2352 for current availability.

Is direct cremation legal in Rhode Island?

Yes, direct cremation is legal in all 50 states including Rhode Island. 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 — 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 — at home, at a park, at a church, or at a restaurant — at any time that works for the family. There is no funeral home fee for this.
