There is no need to come into a funeral home in person when planning cremation, because we are available 24/7 to assist you over the phone to coordinate all services. By offering all of our cremation services remotely, we are able to cut costs and offer you more affordable funeral options.
We also offer additional online resources, including access to our free obituary platform, options to purchase personalized urns and memorialization pieces to remember your loved one, and more.
Direct Cremation
Our 100% remote cremation providers allow us to combine 5-star service with affordability. When you choose Tulip Oakland 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 Oakland 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 Oakland 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 Oakland, 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.
