Cremation is often handled through a traditional funeral home. We focus only on the cremation itself — nothing more.
Coordination, cremation, and required paperwork — without unused services or overhead.
No packages to decode. No pressure to decide more than you want to.
Keep things private or plan something later, on your own timeline.
We begin with a short, thoughtful conversation. You’ll share what feels right for your family — the tone, timing, and kind of gathering you have in mind.
After the call, we’ll send you a simple Event Form to capture what you already know — date, location, and any personal touches you’d like included. No rush. Complete it when you’re ready.
Once you’ve shared your vision, we’ll confirm availability and send a secure link to reserve your date with a small deposit. That’s when we officially get started together.
Direct cremation is exactly what it sounds like: cremation without going through a traditional funeral home. We take care of your loved one, handle the cremation, and return their cremated remains to you. That's it.
No embalming required. No expensive caskets you'll never see again. Just the essential service, handled with care and respect. You can add a viewing if you'd like, but it's not required.
What happens after is completely up to you. Some families plan a memorial service on their own timeline. Others keep things private. There's no rulebook here, just whatever feels right for your family.
See what a gathering can look like, from simple to fully supported.
If you're unsure what you need, we'll help you think it through.

January will help families plan both direct cremation and personal celebrations of life.
We’ll offer practical support and calm guidance every step of the way, so families can focus on what matters most: honoring the person they love.
A simple, supported option for families who prefer cremation without the formality of a traditional funeral home. January will handle every step with transparency and care — from pickup to return of ashes, with clear, flat pricing and ongoing guidance along the way.
A personal, meaningful gathering that reflects who your person was and how they lived. January will help plan and coordinate every detail — from venues and vendors to the flow of the day — so the experience feels seamless, heartfelt, and true to them.
Traditional cremation means going through a funeral home, which often bundles cremation with other services like embalming, viewings, and formal ceremonies. Direct cremation means you work directly with a cremation provider. You get the same cremation, just without the funeral home markup and pressure to buy packages you might not need. You can still add a viewing or hold a memorial service whenever you want.
Absolutely. That's actually one of the benefits of direct cremation. You can take your time and plan a memorial or celebration of life when it feels right. We offer celebration services that give you space to gather and honor your person in a meaningful way. Or you can plan something on your own. The point is, you're not locked into doing everything in the first few days.
Lots of different people, for lots of different reasons. Some families know they want a memorial service but prefer to plan it on their own timeline, not in the chaotic first few days. Others are looking at funeral home quotes and realize they're being charged thousands of dollars for things that don't matter to them. Some people planned ahead and told their family this is what they wanted. And plenty of folks just don't connect with traditional funeral ritual and want something simpler and more personal. There's no single profile. It's just about what makes sense for you.
We're taking our time to get this right. Direct cremation sounds simple, but there's a lot that goes into doing it well. We need to make sure we have the right partners, the right processes, and that we're meeting all state regulations and licensure requirements. We're not going to rush this and cut corners. We'll launch when we're confident we can deliver the clarity, care, and quality you deserve. Join our newsletter and you'll be first to know.
We're starting in Atlanta and will expand from there. If you're elsewhere, get in touch anyway. We can point you toward good options or keep you posted on when we're in your region.
If you have questions now or want to be notified when this launches, we're here.
