What's actually included in our $995 price
Our $995 direct cremation is all-inclusive — there is no separate charge for the cremation container, the permit, transport, or the cremation itself. The price you see is the price you pay.
It's common to see cremation advertised at a lower headline number elsewhere. When comparing, ask one question: what's included? Many advertised "base" prices do not include the cremation container or other required items, so the real total grows once those are added. Our $995 already includes:
- 24/7 transport into our care from anywhere within 50 miles of Salt Lake City
- The Utah state cremation permit and death-certificate filing
- The cremation itself, at our own on-site Utah crematory
- A basic cremation container
- Return of the cremated remains to your family
Prefer to provide your own cremation container? Our direct cremation is $835 without it. Applicable Utah sales tax is added, and individuals over 200 lbs require a larger container at a higher price. That's the complete picture — nothing revealed later.
