We're building a simpler, more transparent, and affordable option for cremation in Atlanta. We'll let you know as soon as it's available.
Direct cremation is the simplest type of cremation service. There is no viewing, visitation, or funeral service beforehand. Instead, the cremation takes place shortly after death, and families can choose to hold a memorial or celebration of life later if they wish.
Many families choose direct cremation because it offers more flexibility and significantly lower costs than traditional funeral services. It also allows time to plan a gathering that feels meaningful, without the pressure of making immediate decisions.
We’re currently completing the licensing and regulatory requirements needed to offer direct cremation services in Georgia. Our goal is to launch this option in Atlanta in 2026. If you’d like to be notified when it becomes available, you can join the email list above.
