5 star ratingMy 78 y/o father was hit by a car when riding his bicycle and passed two days before Thanksgiving. My mother was absolutely distraught, and, after reading reviews, I thought that CSOC sounded like the most direct and honest cremation service. I was not disappointed: David was professional and kind, and Gina was absolutely lovely. They honored my mother's wishes that my dad wear clothes when he was cremated because our family has some cultural superstitions about entering the afterlife without clothes/dignity. Their pricing is outlined on their website, and it is accurate. Thank you so much for making this incredibly difficult time bearable. In times of crisis, one looks for simple signs of humanity, and Gina and David provided that.

Cremation in Brea

Pre-planning your cremation services can be one of the best things that you do for your family. At the time of your death, they will not have to make any decisions about how you want to be laid to rest if you have chosen to work with one of our team members to set up cremation arrangements.

On the other hand, if you are having to make arrangements for a family member or a loved one who did not have arrangements made at the time of your death you may be wondering about Brea cremation.

If you are interested in comprehensive, low-cost cremation then you should consider looking into our simple cremation service. Our team of experts can walk you through the decisions that must be made when choosing cremation in Brea.

How to Choose Cremation Services

Do you know where to start when planning cremation services? It can be daunting to try to figure out what is the best fit and make the arrangements work with your budget. Your cremation service provider will be able to suggest services that stay within your budget when it comes to planning local cremation near you. The following five steps will make choosing the right cremation services easier for you to finalize the arrangements.

Set a Budget

Setting a budget for cremation service in Brea is very important. The best time to set the budget is at the beginning of the planning process. This will ensure that you do not waste precious money on something you may not need.

Choose a Package

Our simple cremation package includes everything that is needed for a basic cremation with affordable cremation pricing. This includes transportation of the deceased to our facility, permits, cremation, and an urn.

Decide on Remembrance Services

You may choose not to hold any additional services; however, you may want to hold a service in memory of the deceased. Service options to choose from include:

  • Church or religious services at a place of worship
  • Memorial services at our facility, local facility, or public park
  • Graveside service at the cemetery.
  • Military service for military members to receive honors.

Add-Ons

If requested, there are add-ons that can be provided for a fee. Some people choose to add services like rush cremation, cremation with viewing, or private cremation.

Choose the Final Resting Place

There are unlimited options to pick from when choosing the final resting place. The most widely selected resting places are urns that are released to a family member or scattering the ashes.

Brea Cremation Service Packages

There are several service packages to choose from and there are many ways to customize each package. It is suggested that anyone looking for cremation start with our simple cremation package.

This affordable cremation service starts by transporting the deceased to the local crematorium where a licensed funeral director will oversee everything. Paperwork will need to be completed so that our staff can obtain the necessary permits for the cremation service.

For your convenience, the paperwork is available both at our office and online. Our caring and compassionate team members can answer any question you have about filling out the paperwork.

Direct cremation services are performed at our Brea crematory after the paperwork has been submitted and permits have been obtained. Once cremation procedures are over, the remains are made available in a durable cremation urn. Decorative urns are also available for purchase at an additional cost.

Cremation Benefits

Cremation companies are able to offer services that are significantly lower in price than burial services. This is because traditional burial services require the purchase of a costly burial plot and casket. There are more costs associated with holding a funeral, too.

Cremation services can offer the same level of closure without the cost of funeral services.

Additional Cremation Services and Arrangements

Our crematory cremation services include a cheap cremation package because we don’t want unexpected final expenses to be a burden on our clients. If our clients want additional services, we are able to make additional arrangements for our local cremation service near Brea. For example, we can help arrange a unique graveside or memorial services.

Other Brea Cremation add-on services available through our cremation company include:

  • Rush cremation (takes place within 24 hours of a Health Department Cremation Permit)
  • Private cremation and witness viewing
  • Ashes scattered at sea through our cremation company’s sea scattering service enhancement

How to Proceed with the Remains

Remains of the deceased will be turned over to the family following the cremation. The family must then decide what to do with the remains. There are very standard and traditional ways to store the remains, but there are also non-traditional options, too.

Typically, ashes from the cremation are put into an urn. The urn is then placed somewhere that the deceased can be remembered. Places might include a grave, a mausoleum, or a church. Some people will choose to keep the urn at their home.

If you choose to keep an urn with someone’s remains in your home, it is important to know that California has strict laws regarding how the remains are kept.

It may, however, be decided to scatter the remains. People choose to scatter remains in all sorts of places. For example, a church, garden, or the ocean. Just like keeping remains at a residence, there are state rules and regulations. It’s suggested to check the state laws on scattering ashes first.

There is an assortment of non-traditional ways that people have started to use ashes to memorialize their loved ones. If you want to know more about the memorial keepsakes and jewelry that are available, please check with one of our staff members. We are happy to help guide you in choosing an alternative way to remember your loved one.

From traditional cremation services to non-traditional ones, cremation services can be tailored to meet your needs. From basic and affordable to detailed and priceless Brea Cremation can help fulfill a variety of specialized needs with ease and comfort.
