To best fit the needs of our families' who choose cremation,
we offer two Direct Cremation Services in addition to our Cremation
Packages (found in our General Price List). Each cremation service/package
differs in cost and the level of service provided by our firm:
|
1.
Economy Direct Cremation Service: $ 2600.-
This This specialized cremation service is modeled after popular low-cost "Cremation Societies" found across the country. Therefore, it is competitively prices and reflects a substantial savings from our competitor. It includes:
- Local transfer of deceased (Residence transfers are $50 additional)
- Minimal service of our staff simply to acquire cremation authorizations & family-completed obituary information.
- Includes our staff time for obtaining physician's signature on the legal death certificate, meeting with CT Medical Examiner for legal permits, and filing of said paperwork at town/city clerk’s office.
- Transfer of the remains to the crematory after the State Mandated 48-hour holding period.
- Required minimum cardboard cremation container
- Crematory fee, and necessary permits.
- Does not include newspapers, death certificates, etc. As most newspapers charge for obituaries, and the average obituary now costs more than $ 350, a family credit/debit card is required for payment to the newspaper. Legal death certificates in Connecticut are $10 each.
- With this service, the Cremation will take place at the crematory's convenience and ashes will be available within 14 business days.
- Due to the competitive cost of this service, normal billing practices are not possible and all fees must be Pre-Paid or paid at the time the arrangements are made. We accept personal checks, VISA or MASTERCARD.
