What direct cremation is
Direct cremation is cremation without a viewing, visitation or ceremony with the body present. That is how the Federal Trade Commission defines it in the Funeral Rule. You can still hold a memorial later, with or without the ashes, wherever and whenever your family wants.
It usually covers the funeral home's basic services, bringing your loved one into its care, a simple container and the cremation itself. What each funeral home includes, and what it charges extra for, is on its General Price List.

What to ask when you call
Federal rules are on your side here:
- Ask for the price of direct cremation. If a funeral home offers it, it must list it on its General Price List. It also has to give you price information over the phone, and it can't make you give your name or come in first.
- Ask what's included. Bringing your loved one into their care, the container, the crematory fee, the death certificate copies and returning the ashes are not always in the same price.
- You don't have to buy a casket. For direct cremation the funeral home must offer at least one alternative container (for example, an unfinished wood box or a fiberboard container), and you can bring your own.
- Ask how long it takes and when you'd get the ashes back.
- Compare at least two or three before you decide.
