Cremation Package Comparison
Although our price for direct cremation is not the lowest in the city of Worcester, we treat each family with the same care and respect that we would for a full funeral. Memorial services can be scheduled at any time of the day, and making in-person arrangements with a funeral director is not an extra charge. We take the time to make sure you are receiving all the benefits you are entitled to, and we help you prepare a personalized obituary for your loved one, without the use of AI that many funeral homes are now doing. Our direct cremation package can also be selected with funeral pre-planning, and our urn selection offers many options for hundreds less than our competitors. Our price for a memorial service after cremation is $550, compared to some "discount" cremation providers that charge an additional $1,200 to $1,500 for this option.
