What’s included in the direct cremation price?

The CMA Order requires the published direct cremation price to include the cremation fee, a simple coffin, transport, and the return of ashes.

Direct cremation usually includes collection of the deceased, care before cremation, a simple coffin, transport to the crematorium, the cremation fee and return of ashes. It does not usually include a funeral service, procession, limousine, viewing or celebrant.

Prices vary because funeral directors use different crematoria, collection areas, staffing models and service levels. Always check the source price list and ask the provider what is included before making a decision.
