Cremation Pricing: What Can I Expect?

 


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. Direct cremations can be challenging to arrange in Alberta's more remote areas because of the high costs involved, and you will need to check with the funeral home you are working with. They will provide you with the details you need to make your decision.


Cremation Services

Given how common cremation is now becoming among Canadians, most funeral homes in the area provide these services. While some establishments use a crematorium in the vicinity, others have their own. In either case, you can be sure that your cherished one will be treated with the utmost respect and care and that stringent cremation regulations will be followed. If the funeral service provider owns their crematorium, you might want to inquire about it because it will affect the cremation pricing.


Cremation With A Funeral Service

A cremation with just a service entails holding a funeral service at the funeral home or nearby church before the cremation is carried out. Since a casket is not necessary for cremation, renting one for this purpose can help keep the total funeral cost low. In the area, cremations with services typically cost somewhere around $2,800 and $3,800. The size of the room needed for the funeral or chapel service and the ancillary services will significantly impact the final price.


Direct Cremation Services

A direct cremation might be suitable for you if you are looking for inexpensive cremation services. This cremation does not include any service, and the typical cost of a basic cremation in Alberta ranges from $1,095 to $1,295. In some places, it may be lower than this.
