If one of your loved ones is terminally or you’re in the process of pre-planning your own funeral and the selected funeral arrangement is cremation, it’s essential to choose a reputable and reliable cremation service provider. When a location near your or your loved one’s California home is preferred, you should narrow down your search to trusted crematories in California with a solid reputation for providing dignified cremation services at affordable rates.
A cremation provider that overcharges for its services is usually a red flag and you should look elsewhere. It’s also important to decide on a certain budget beforehand, depending on the chosen cremation arrangement because the last thing you need is to not be able to pay. A good starting point is asking your friends and other people in your community for recommendations and researching reviews from other funeral consumers to see if a certain cremation provider is worth considering.
You can also search the CANA (Cremation Association of North America) directory to find a local CANA member that abides by the Code of Cremation Practice. It’s worth noting that reliable crematories in California are not only known for transparent pricing and providing affordably-priced cremation services ( typically $700 or less) but also for offering free consultations with experienced cremation advisors to help you choose the right cremation services.
Direct cremation arrangement is the most budget-friendly cremation option, as it does not include a funeral service, but a memorial service can be typically arranged at later date. Regardless of the cremation services you choose, the price should include the cremation container cost, as per the state of California’s requirements, filing the cremation permits and the death certificat, transportation of the person who is deceased to the crematory’s secure care center, and even a temporary urn. So be sure to ask if all of these are included in the final price.
It’s also worth noting that funeral consumers who choose direct cremation do not need to buy a casket and the cremation provider must provide an alternative cremation container. As a funeral consumer, you have a number of rights, including requesting pricing information online or over the phone.
