Why Choose a Family Owned Funeral & Cremation Provider?

Most of the large funeral brands in the United States are owned by a handful of corporate groups. The providers listed here are independent, and that changes what it is like to deal with them.

Find Cremation Services Near You

Start with your city or state. Cremation Authority is being built as a directory for families who want a simpler way to compare cremation providers.

Use the directory to look for:

Cremation is local. Prices, paperwork, timing and provider availability change by state and city. That is why the directory goes beyond one national page, with state pages, city pages and provider listings.

Simple Cremation, Without the Pressure

Direct cremation is often the simplest option. It usually means the cremation takes place without a traditional funeral service beforehand. Families may still choose a memorial, scattering, burial of ashes or a private gathering later.

Many people choose direct cremation because they want:
A lower overall cost Fewer decisions at a hard time Time to plan a memorial later A private, simple process

The goal is not to push one choice. It is to make the next step easier to understand.
