SIMPLE CREMATION

Our Standard Funeral option starts from $2,080.  

The Simple Cremation is a lower-cost alternative to more traditional funerals, enabling you to say goodbye to your loved one with a dignified funeral, affordably. The Simple Funeral gives provision for mourners, with a chapel service at a specific time. Crematoria each set their prices differently and so each location below varies slightly in cost, with individual funeral prices noted next to each and starting from $1,500.

Our Simple Cremation option works beautifully as is, though it can be added to in any number of ways, based on your requirements. We can work with you to customize the funeral, for example, by arranging flowers, helping with a dove release, providing memorial cards, incorporating a color theme, and more, should it be required.

At Harrison Funeral Home, we offer you an award-winning, safe pair of hands for all of your funeral arranging needs. 

For details about what exactly is included in the Simple Cremation option, please have a look at the service/price breakdown below, or give us a call 24/7 to discuss your requirements.
