Direct Cremation

Our 100% remote cremation providers allow us to combine 5-star service with affordability. When you choose Tulip Modesto 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 Modesto 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.

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 Modesto 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.

After The Memorial

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 Modesto, CA

More American families choose cremation over traditional burial for many reasons, including the cost difference. Traditional burial services cost anywhere from $4,000 to $20,000 depending on the provider and package options you choose.

Cremation costs range from $600 to $5,000 depending on whether you choose direct cremation services or select traditional cremation through a funeral home. Traditional funeral homes are generally more expensive, even if you choose a direct cremation option.

Direct cremation is much less expensive because you pay only for the service that you want and need. Many families must consider finances after a loved one’s passing. If you are interested in traditional burial or cremation funeral services, look for a licensed funeral operator that respects your wishes and your budget.

Excellent Service and help. Only one problem. Envelope mailed by Tulip with Death Certificates should have on it "Please Do Not Fold Or Bend" on outside of envelope. The USPS folded and bended and stuffed the envelope into my mailbox like it was a piece of junk mail. Very upset with Tulip not having a sticker on envelope to prevent certificates from getting crushed by USPS.

The job done was good not great. I was told that my loved one remains would be delivered to my door and I would sign for them that didn’t happen. I had to pick them up at the post office.

Tulip was most helpful and very patient with me. Cost was very affordable. Everything was taken care of as I asked and except for a delay in the end it was expedited quickly. I had the remains dropped at sea and when this was finally done I received a certificate and aerial photos from the flight. It was impressive, needless to say.

I would chose tulip cremation again if I lost another loved one. They are very respectful and understand that those making the arrangements have suffered a great loss. Although the process didn't run 100% smoothly (mostly due to third party issues), they persisted in trying to remedy the snags so that my beloved Father could finally be at peace. Through it all, everyone I dealt was compassionate and tried to be as helpful as possible. I highly recommend them.
