Minor Funeral and Cremation Center • May 8, 2023

Are you wondering how much cremation services in Winooski, VT are going to cost? This guide will break down the different factors that'll impact their cost.

cremation services in Winooski, VT

The great news for all the families that will be planning cremation services in Winooski, VT is that they're often going to cost just a fraction of what burial services will. It's one of the biggest benefits of cremating a person versus burying them. But if you haven't ever planned a cremation for a loved one, you might not know how much it's going to cost you. There are a bunch of factors that will impact the price you'll pay to cremate a loved one. Discover more about these factors below.


The type of cremation services you choose


Not all Winooski, VT cremations are created equal. There are some families that will decide to cremate their loved ones without holding funerals or memorial services for them. They'll have what are called direct cremations for their loved ones, which is the most affordable way to cremate a person. There are other families that will go all out for their loved ones and hold large funerals or memorial services for them along with other celebrations like viewings. These types of cremation services can be a lot more costly than direct cremations. You'll need to choose the type of cremation services you want to stage for a loved one to get a better sense of how much cremating them will cost.


The funeral home you pick out



Almost all funeral homes can help families plan cremations these days. But not all of them are going to do it for the same prices. There will inevitably be some funeral homes that will charge more for their cremation services than others. For this reason, you and your family shouldn't be shy about shopping around for a great funeral home that's going to fit nicely into your price range. It should be simple enough to see how much different funeral homes charge for their cremation services by visiting their websites.


The cremation urn you select


At the conclusion of a loved one's cremation services, your family is going to receive their cremated remains back. More often than not, you're then going to opt to place these remains inside a cremation urn. Different urns are going to have different price tags on them. There are some urns that will cost under $100 and others that will cost just as much as, if not more than, cremation services themselves. You will need to pick out an urn that's going to keep your family on the right track as far as your budget is concerned.


The plans you have for a loved one's cremated remains


After your family receives a loved one's cremated remains in the aftermath of their cremation, you'll be able to decide what you're going to do with them next. In some instances, you won't have to spend any money on this part of the process. If, for example, you choose to bring the remains home with you, it won't cost you anything to do it. But if you decide to place the remains in a columbarium or even scatter the remains, it might come at a cost. It's one more thing you'll need to factor into the equation when you're trying to calculate what cremation services will cost.
