Complete care vs.
direct cremation
Direct cremation may seem simple: $2,000 for cremation, ashes returned to your family. But that’s all you get. It leaves your grieving family on their own for everything else—and those costs add up fast.
Everis gives you everything your family needs for one transparent price: $4,150, locked in. No surprise bills. No juggling providers. Just complete care from start to finish.
