About Direct Cremation

Our 100% remote cremation providers allow us to combine 5-star service with affordability. When you choose Tulip Santa Barbara for direct cremation, you pay only for what you need and nothing more. Many families find that direct cremation offers more flexibility to create a unique memorial or celebration of life for loved ones.

Our licensed cremation providers take your loved one into our care from the hospital, hospice, nursing facility, or home. We perform a private, dignified cremation without witnesses. Tulip Santa Barbara obtains necessary permits and paperwork and provides you with copies of the death certificate. Your loved one’s ashes are safely returned to your home in our standard container or an urn you provide.

Planning the Memorial

Choosing online direct cremation gives your family the freedom to host a memorial or celebration of life for your loved one whenever you are ready. Rather than rushing to plan a memorial service in Santa Barbara days after their passing, you can take your time exploring your options and plan a celebration that is truly unique and memorable.

If you have family from out of town, you can plan around their schedule, rather than rushing them to make the services following the cremation. Spend as much or as little money as you’d like, without paying a premium to funeral homes that may not offer exactly what you want. We’ve put together these articles to help you consider all the options available to you as you plan your loved one’s personalized memorial service.

Remembering Your Loved One

Even when you choose cremation, there are still various permanent memorialization options available to your family. Most Tulip families choose to find personalized and meaningful ways to store their loved one’s ashes. We can help you find the perfect option for your family.

From purchasing biodegradable urns to scatter the ashes at sea to beautiful, customized jewelry you can wear to keep your loved one close, we have you covered. We have explored a wide variety of memorial products so you can choose an option that best honors your loved one.

Cost of Cremation in Santa Barbara, CA

The cost of funeral and cremation services vary, depending on the funeral home. More American families choose cremation over traditional burial for many reasons, including the cost difference. Traditional burial services can cost anywhere from $4,000 to $20,000, depending on your chosen provider and package options. 

Cremation costs range from $1,000 to $5,000 depending on whether you choose direct cremation services or select traditional cremation through a funeral home. Direct cremation is much less expensive because you only pay for the service you want and need. 

It is not unseemly to consider your family’s finances as you deal with a loved one’s passing. For California families interested in traditional burial or cremation funeral services, look for a licensed funeral operator that respects your wishes and your budget.

Simple, Transparent Pricing

Tulip’s direct cremation services have no hidden costs. We provide local families with simple, transparent cremation arrangements. You may take advantage of payment options that make our cremations even more affordable and accessible.

Tulip was very companionate and helpful during my time of need when I lost my brother out of state. I felt so lost and didn’t have a clue what to do. Tulip helped me do everything over the phone. Everything went very smooth. Everyone I spoke with was so nice and helpful. Madison was especially amazing. I highly recommend Tulip Cremation services to anyone. They are kind, compassionate, and very knowledgeable and honest. Thank you Tulip for a job well done.

Everything was good except since my sister’s remains were Express Mailed to me, I would have liked to been asked whether I wanted that service or Priority Mail because of the cost as I know that would have been way less than what the charge was. My sister mailed our mother’s cremated remains to me from Napa many years back and it was $65. The same goes for my sister’s death certificate. You mailed it Priority Mail when just regular postage would have sufficed and it would have gotten to me about the same time. I am a retired USPS employee and know Express Service for my sister’s remains were way in excess of that. But, otherwise, your service was great and I CERTAINLY WOULD RECOMMEND YOU to others. Thank you, Jeffrey McMeans

I used Tulip Cremations for the cremation of a loved one who was far away, and they made the entire process very manageable. The team was kind, communicative, and handled everything smoothly. Although it took a bit longer than expected to receive the remains, I understand this could have been due to the circumstances. Overall, I appreciate their service and how easy they made everything during a difficult time. No complaints, and I would recommend them.

Tulip was a very good experience during a very trying and sad time. They were very professional, sympathetic, and helpful. There was a donation involved, and they coordinated everything with the other company, which made it very simple and reduced and relieved a lot of stress. I hope I do not have to use them again but if a loved one passes, I would not hesitate for one second; I will be calling Tulip. I did have a special request and they made sure that it happened, everything was smooth and seamless. I appreciate appreciate everyone there. Again, it was a wonderful experience.

Tulip was very thorough and efficient with every detail of my recent family’s cremation process. They kept us abreast of every step of the process as each step moved forward which was difficult but appreciated at the same time. Received my family’s remains in a timely manner followed by death certificates a day later. Would highly recommend Tulip to anyone seeking direct cremation services.
