Honor Cremations offers a curated approach to simple cremation. This means that we view a client-family‘s experience with us as just as important as the cremation itself. Unique urn offerings have been made available through Honor Cremations and we provide three simple, dignified options for the urn once the cremation is complete. Client-families may select from 1-receiving the urn by mail, 2-receiving the urn by courier service or 3-allowing Honor Cremations to scatter the ashes at sea in the San Francisco Bay.
Honor Cremations is centrally located in the South Bay city of San Jose and we regularly care for client-families located in Santa Clara, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco and Stanislaus Counties. We are able to perform transportation from any California county for an additional cost.
Should your loved-one pass away, your first step is to contact the appropriate authorities. If your loved-one passes at home while under the care of an in-home healthcare provider or hospice organization, they should be contacted right away. If your loved-one passes at home unexpectedly or not while under the care of in-home healthcare or a hospice organization, 9-1-1 should be contacted. If your loved-one passes away anywhere unexpectedly, 9-1-1 should be contacted. Once the hospital, paramedics, first responders, or other local authority confirms your loved-one’s passing, they will direct you to contact Honor Cremations.
We believe pricing for direct cremation services should be simple and transparent with no hidden fees and no overwhelming decisions. Pricing details are always available through our General Price List or on our Pricing Page.
