What is Direct Cremation Disposition?

What is Direct Cremation Disposition?

Today, many people are choosing cremations and direct cremation disposition is one of the options available. We at Simply Cremations and Funeral Services provide customized cremation services and like to keep our clients informed about what these involve.

About Direct Cremation Disposition

Incidentally, direct cremation disposition is the most affordable option because the mortal remains are cremated soon after death. No funeral service is held prior to cremation. Here are some basic features of the process:

  • There is no formal funeral service and no pre-funeral event. It helps save all the costs involved in conventional funerals.

  • The body is cremated right after death.

  • The casket is simple and doesn’t have any elaborate embellishments because it will be put in the incinerator

  • There is neither a visitation nor a wake, which means preparations like embalming etc. aren’t needed.

  • You can conduct a memorial service after some time at your convenience and this becomes more affordable than a standard funeral service.
If you still want to have a visitation or a service it is possible, but it will not be known as a direct cremation. In that case, you conduct the service or visitation as normal and then cremate the body afterwards, which becomes a more expensive disposition than direct cremation.

Organizing A Direct Cremation

The crematory staff handles all the cremation modalities such as transporting the body and acquiring the death certificate for which they charge a minimal fee. The funeral home service charges are separate from the cremation costs.

If you need any more clarity about how the process works, what the costs are etc. feel free to call us and discuss your requirements with our team. They are here to provide you with all the details and information you need. You can contact us at Simply Cremations and Funeral Services via a online form and one of our experts will get back to you shortly.

  At Simply Cremations & Funeral Services, we have observed that cremation is the most popular method of disposition in the province, with about 65% of the population choosing cremation as their final disposition. As an alternative to burial, cremation is often seen as more eco-friendly, and the cremation pricing is typically much lower when compared with a traditional burial. What Is The Average Cremation Pricing? The cost to have a loved one cremated in our area depends on several factors, including the desired services, the funeral home you work with, and your geographic location. You can anticipate paying between $1,095 and $1,295 to arrange a simple, direct cremation in Calgary, Edmonton, and Red Deer metro areas.
