What is direct cremation?
Direct cremation is the simplest and least expensive funeral option. The body is cremated shortly after death without embalming, a formal viewing, or a funeral ceremony at the funeral home. The cremated remains are returned to the family in a basic container. Families may hold a separate memorial service at any time and location of their choosing at no additional cost to the funeral home.
Is direct cremation cheaper than burial in Tennessee?
Yes, significantly. A traditional burial in Tennessee typically costs $7,000–$12,000 or more when you include the funeral home fees, casket, and cemetery costs. Direct cremation typically costs $640–$2,500 — often 70–80% less.
