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.

Our parents signed up for Neptune Society services several years ago, and when our mother passed away we could not have been more satisfied with how quickly, professionally and thoughtfully Neptune responded. As a result, I signed up for Neptune services myself. Our father recently passed away and again Neptune provided outstanding service. When I contacted Jason at Neptune in Ft. Myers to look into placing our mother and father in a single companion urn, he was extremely helpful and we had an engraved urn within a couple of days, in plenty of time for the planned placement service at the cemetery. I have nothing but good things to say about Neptune at Ft. Myers and recommend them highly.

My father had contracted Neptune Society for his eventual passing and as a result of that contract, I chose to contact Neptune Society to handle my husbands passing. They treated my husband with the utmost respect and they also were very respectful to me and I was able to get through that hard time as they were there for me the entire time. Received my husband’s ashes in time for me to have them at his memorial so our friends and co-workers were able to say goodbye to him. They are also helping me to arrange a military service for him at a later date. Very grateful.

I would like to thank John Greeney and the Neptune Society for taking care of EVERYTHING after my mother’s passing and honoring HER wishes. When it was obvious that mom would be transitioning to her next life, I contacted John because mom had joined the Neptune Society. He walked me through the entire process and told me what to do when she did pass. Everything was carried out efficiently and smoothly. Mom’s cremains were shipped to my brother in PA and John arranged her internment with my father at a Veteran’s Cemetery. John also emailed a reminder list of issues survivors might need to address: contacting pension plans, insurance companies and so forth.

John answered all my phone calls promptly and courteously; was always compassionate and informative. He and the Neptune Society made a difficult time so much easier than it might have been. And, my brother and I were very grateful that mom’s wishes were being followed. We are very appreciative and recommend John Greeney and the Neptune Society very highly!

Sincerely, Susan (and Richard) S.

When my father passed away recently William Webb and the Neptune Society of Tallahassee was a great help during a difficult time. Even with a pre-need arrangement, there is a multitude of details that must be decided on. Mr. Webb was an invaluable guide through the regulatory and procedural obstacles we encountered while laying our loved one to rest.

I would like to thank Veronica and her staff for all the support and guidance I was provided during my mom’s passing. Veronica went over and above to help with the process and make the difficult decisions in my time of mourning. She was patient and kind. Always answering questions I probably had asked at least once if not two or three times already! She assisted in organizing the transportation of my mom’s remains as well as making sure everything met the codes of the cemetery in a different state. She was wonderful!

Outstanding Service! Both my parents used Neptune Society a few years apart. They signed a contract 15 years ago, and they absolutely picked the right company. For both of them, it was a “1 call gets it done”. Dan, location Mgr., was great. My mother passed away a day before a holiday, so I thought no contact would be made until after the holiday. Boy was I wrong. Dan came into the office on the holiday to make contact with us and start the process. Hadn’t really thought of my own arrangements, but after dealing with Neptune Society twice, and both times had an excellent experience, I’m using them.

My Grandpa passed away on June 6, 2019, and had Neptune Society setup. One hour after we called, they arrived to take the body away. He was cremated and the ashes were set up to be mailed to his next of kin, my Mom. Everything was taken care of and it was so easy. What a blessing to not have to worry about anything, especially since he lives in Las Vegas and all other relatives live in Texas.
