DIRECT SIMPLE CREMATION
A Meaningful Farewell with Care, Choice, and Affordability
For families who want the opportunity to gather, reflect, and honor a life before cremation, Cremation With Services offers a thoughtful balance of tradition and flexibility. At Affordable Tarheel State Cremations, we help you create a personalized service while still choosing cremation as the final method of disposition.
This option allows family and friends to come together, share memories, and say goodbye—without the pressure or cost of a full traditional burial.
What is Cremation with Services?
Cremation with services includes a funeral, memorial, or celebration of life held either before or after cremation. Families may choose to include a viewing or visitation, religious or non-religious elements, and meaningful personalization.
You choose the structure. We take care of the details.
Families often choose:
✔ A funeral service before cremation
✔ A visitation or viewing
✔ A memorial or celebration of life
✔ Services held on-site or at a partner location
✔ Urn burial, scattering, or placement at a later date

Our cremation-with-services packages are designed to be clear, flexible, and supportive.
✔ Professional care of your loved one

Every detail is handled with care and aligned with your family’s wishes.
