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.
