What are prepaid cremation plans and how do they work?

Can I change my plan after I've started?
Yes. Your preplanned arrangements can be modified as needed. We understand that circumstances and preferences can change over time.
What if I move?

How much do prepaid cremation plans cost?
Direct cremation focuses solely on the cremation process itself, usually occurring shortly after death. Costs are $1,500-$3,000 and typically cover basic cremation services, transportation, and crematory fees, making this the most budget-friendly option. However, don’t be fooled by price, there are frequent add-ons plus the expense of a memorial and final resting place down the road.
Full-service cremation on average costs $6,250 and offers a blend of a traditional funeral experience with the choice of cremation, providing families with a structured and dignified way to say goodbye. This comprehensive option may include transportation, cremation and memorial service.
Everis provides complete cremation entirely online with everything included: transportation cremation, documents, obituary, memorial, resting place in nature and ongoing support for practical matters, account closures, and grief counseling. Clear, all-inclusive pricing at $4,150. No hidden fees, no missed steps.
