Not in the price
A sample. Real listings show the funeral home’s own figures and the date they were confirmed.
If a death has just occurred
A real listing tells a family exactly what to do next, in the funeral home’s own words.
Tell the nurse, hospice or coroner who you have chosen
Staff need the family’s choice before they can release your loved one into the funeral home’s care.
Call the funeral home, at any hour
You reach the funeral home itself. They coordinate with the hospital or hospice and bring your loved one into their care.
Hold one short arrangement conversation
By phone, online or in person. The funeral home confirms who must sign and collects the details for the death certificate.
Paperwork and cremation are handled for you
The funeral home files the death certificate, obtains the permit and carries out the cremation.
Your loved one is returned to you
You are called when the ashes are ready to collect.

Questions a listing answers
How much does direct cremation cost at this funeral home?
In this sample, $1,295. That covers transfer within 30 miles, refrigerated care, permits, the container, the cremation, Social Security notification, one certified death certificate and return of the ashes. Extra death certificates and long-distance transfer cost more, and the listing says so.
Is this a real funeral home?
No. Northern Lights Cremation Services is fictional and exists only to show what a listing contains. Real listings carry a real funeral home’s name, price and phone number.
Can a memorial still be held after a direct cremation?
Yes. A memorial is separate from the cremation and can be held at any time and place the family chooses.
Do I need to buy an urn?
No. Ashes are returned in a basic container. An urn can be bought anywhere, and a funeral home must accept one bought elsewhere.
On a real listing, this is where the family calls
The phone number is the funeral home’s own. CremationMatch does not answer, screen or record calls.
