Typically, these prices include the cost of the actual cremation and a basic memorial service. Some families may instead choose to cremate the body after first holding a viewing or funeral ceremony.
This type of cremation with service can increase costs considerably by requiring you to purchase a casket and pay more for the funeral director's basic services.
