Affordable Cremation Prices and Plans

Cremation prices

In the United States, 47% of deceased persons are cremated. Cremation price is often a factor in selecting cremation over traditional funerals and burials, as cremation costs are less. It is true that cremation prices have risen over the last decade, but they have been outpaced by the rising cost of funerals. Cremation is a very good choice when cost is a strong consideration.

Average price of cremation

Cremation costs vary by location and provider. The cremation cost at one Neptune location may differ from another Neptune location, due to variable location costs.

Affordable cremation services can be found both at funeral homes and at independent cremation providers. If the price of cremation is a factor in your choice of providers, request pricing information and carefully compare. Some providers offer cremation prices for complete service packages, guaranteeing the price. Other providers give a cremation price that includes only the cremation itself — the price of transportation and handling must still be added. Prices of cremation should be compared based on the total services being offered.

Planned Cremations

For simplicity and the most affordable cremation option, some people plan a future cremation for themselves. These preplanned cremations are, by far, the most cost- effective cremation option, and allow loved ones peace of mind and time for grieving.

Memorial Services

A cremation plan can be simply a direct cremation or can include a funeral or memorial service. Memorial services are valuable and healing for family and friends, but also add to the price of cremation.

Urns, Scattering and/or Burial of Ashes

Following cremation, a family may choose to keep the ashes in a decorative urn or scatter the ashes. Alternatively, a family may choose a final resting spot for the cremated remains in a columbarium or cemetery plot. This, too, will add to the cost of cremation. Some families wish to have loved ones buried in a family plot or local cemetery. As cremated remains take little space when buried, cemeteries have flexibility in placement or the number of remains that can be placed in a family plot. This flexibility can also lead to cost savings. In this way, families have the ability to choose cremation as a very affordable option and still memorialize their loved one.

While my husband’s death was expected, it is never easy when it actually occurs. Perhaps 2 years ago, I was in touch with Neptune Society in Florida where I live, and I had a basic understanding of the service being offered, did not take a contract at the time, and the actual death occurred New Jersey. Alvin Chan was a blessing! From the moment I reached him, we were able to communicate easily, he understood everything I was trying to achieve overall, and he worked with me seamlessly to make it happen. There were many moving parts, but on his end, he achieved everything ahead of schedule, was patient when I had delays, and especially the delay of our chosen urn being shipped up from home in Florida, but he was steadfast in supporting our wishes and everything went without a moment of anxiety. I am proud of the work that Neptune does and so grateful for the kindness, compassion, and professionalism showed by Alvin to my family. He happened to be a great guy, extremely warm and caring. It was a pleasure to have him available to us, and he went out of his way to accommodate me including meeting with me in my lobby when necessary. I couldn’t have asked for more! Accolades to Neptune Cremation Society in Paramus and Alvin Chan.

My dad passed away this past September in Arizona, I live in Michigan and the Neptune Society in Arizona was such a great help in dealing with the passing of my dad. Thankfully my dad had all of his arrangements taken care of so all I had to do was sign a few papers, John was very helpful in sending them to me and guiding me through the process of sending them back to them. Thank you for being so kind and considerate in my time of sorrow I very much appreciate that.

To have a funeral or a cremation for a loved one is always a difficult time, however, I want to thank Kelly and Gabby for their outstanding work in helping me with all of the paperwork and logistics in getting things orderly done in the cremation process of my father. They were very understanding and compassionate, willing to go above and beyond in their assistance of ensuring everything was taken care of during the process and extremely professional. I highly recommend Neptune Society if cremation is right for your family.

October 16, 2018, started like any other day; but midway through, I found out my Father David was rushed to the hospital with chest pain. Sadly, by the time my Mother arrived, he had already passed away. The sudden loss of our beloved family member left us in shock and despair. In the midst of our crisis, we contacted the Neptune Society. My Mother learned of them through the Star Center in Dania Beach Florida, where my Father was an instructor and trained thousands of maritime officers before his retirement about 4 years ago.

I was personally contacted by Chris Rhodes of The Neptune Society who immediately put me at ease. At the time there was so much sadness and confusion relating to the passing of my Father. Chris was compassionate and understanding while he explained the process. I remember crying a few times and he paused and even comforted me. He was supportive and professional and used a language that I desperately needed. He told me “Your Father is in our care.” Chris reiterated this a few times throughout the process and let me know in a loving way that my Father was being “cared for.” Initially, after his passing, my Father’s remains were at the hospital. Chris and the Neptune Society arranged for his pick up, in order to be transported to the Medical Examiner’s office. Since my Father’s wishes were to be cremated and spread at sea, Chris made the arrangements with a wonderful funeral home nearby. There was also paperwork that needed to be filled out and signed; Chris streamlined the process and made it very easy for me during this difficult time.

Although I knew my Father’s wishes were to be cremated and his ashes spread at sea; having to go through the process would have been daunting. Not only did Chris and the Neptune Society handle all the details, but they also provided a beautiful scattering urn which is specifically designed for an (at-sea burial.) During my communications with Chris, I told him my Father was a Navy Veteran. A few weeks after his memorial, my Mother opened a package from the Neptune Society. It was a beautiful American Flag in my Father’s honor. October 16, 2018, started like any other but by the end of that day, our lives had changed forever. As we struggle to put one foot in front of the other and march forward; we are forever grateful to the Neptune Society, and specifically Chris Rhodes for the time, care and attention to took during one of our darkest hours.

With the deepest of gratitude,

Cindy
