An exciting announcement from Simple Funerals, Inc.!

We often get asked: What exactly is a direct cremation? It’s a straightforward option without a formal viewing or service beforehand. It offers flexibility, affordability, and the freedom to plan a memorial on your family's own timeline.

At Simple Funerals, we handle this process with the utmost dignity and care. For many families, cremation provides the flexibility to plan a memorial service, scatter the ashes in a meaningful place, or keep a loved one close at home, all on a timeline that works for you.
