An Affordable Cremation Service
Determining the budget for a funeral can be a difficult decision to make. We are keenly aware that honoring your loved one’s wishes can sometimes be financially complicated. That is why Simple Cremation offers a wide variety of options to fit every budget with the same level of dignity and respect. Not all cremations are created equal and we are here to help you navigate that. We believe that everyone is entitled to a dignified send-off, no matter how much the cost of traditional burials rises.
A Cremation Service, Entirely Online
Arranging a funeral online starts with contacting our empathetic and professional staff through our web form at the time of passing.
You will then be able to upload all the deceased’s identification documents through our 100 percent secure web portal.
We will then meet you at the location of the deceased to retrieve them. Our staff will arrive dressed appropriately and retrieve your family member or close friend with the solemnity the occasion demands. Transport to our New Jersey funeral home is completed under the direct supervision of senior staff in a secure and locked vehicle.
We will remain in constant contact with you from this point onwards, up until the restitution of the ashes. Our service is expedient, simple to use, and delivered with respect for how sacred these matters are.
Online Memorial Service Attendance
If for whatever reason, people close to the bereaved cannot attend an in-person memorial service, Simple Cremation of NJ can host an online event everyone can be a part of. We arrange a live video web link, email invitations, and a virtual guestbook so everyone can say goodbye the traditional way from wherever they are in the world.

"Simple Cremation of New Jersey helped me through the worst experience of my life. I never imagined there was a service that would allow me to make cremation arrangements in the privacy of my own home. During my time of grief, your website was not only easy to navigate, but also provided everything I needed to make the provisions for my son’s cremation, at an affordable price. Thank you so much for making this horrific episode endurable."

No Drop-Off Policy
To maintain the highest ethical standards and to protect the crematory industry as a whole, Simple Cremation of New Jersey enforces a strict No Drop-Off Policy.
Our funeral directors personally escort each of the deceased to the cremation facility and do not leave before they have personally witnessed them be placed into the cremation chamber, the door closed, and the cremation process initiated.
Although no law in New Jersey mandates this, we feel we have to be able to call clients and say that we made sure the cremation took place as intended
This policy does not in any way reflect a lack of trust in the crematoriums we work with, in fact, trust is the reason we continue to work with our chosen partners. Rather it is a stand we choose to take in the face of what we consider is far too common practice for many funeral homes across the country. Namely, to call a job finished once transport to the crematorium is complete.

Commitment from professionals who understand what you are going through in such a challenging time and support in your time of grief are what have earned us the trust and respect of the people of Summit.
Transporting Cremation Remains Via Mail
Simple cremations offer the possibility for remains to be transported directly from the cremation facility to families across the United States. It is part of our standard service and we closely follow any changes in regulation with regards to shipping cremated remains.
(Currently, USPS is the only carrier authorized to do so.)
We are very familiar with their requirements and work with our partner crematoriums to make sure such precious cargo is properly dispatched. Should the remains stay unclaimed for 2 weeks, they will be returned to the crematorium who will either arrange transport once again or arrange a convenient time for you to receive them directly.

Cremation Legal Support in Summit
After a loss in the family, many legal details need to be worked out. Simple Cremation can help you navigate the list of documents and permissions required when a loved one has passed. Our staff is intimately familiar with the legal procedures you will have to go through and will walk you through them seamlessly, so you can focus on saying goodbye.

Direct Cremation
We offer the ability to arrange a cremation without any funeral or memorial service attached. This simply means that you will not be paying to use any of our online or physical facilities. It is a popular alternative for people who want to organize their own gatherings at home or elsewhere.
Even the simplest of informal gatherings can go a long way towards processing grief. It helps everyone involved to reflect on and share memories of the person they have lost. People often feel pressured to follow traditional norms around saying goodbye, but the truth is, every life is unique.
There is no one size fits all solution to pay your final respects. Those closest to the departed should feel free to celebrate a life lived and memories to cherish in whatever way they feel is appropriate.
They may be gone but they were here and are remembered.
