All-inclusive
Cremation
Plan
Before you commit to our services and provide us with any information, we want to ensure full transparency. To the right, you will find a breakdown of all the services included in our direct cremation plan. We take pride in offering a fully transparent experience with no hidden fees or upsells after you begin making cremation arrangements.
Our commitment is to provide you with the clarity and honesty you deserve during this important time.
1
BASIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES
At DC/LA, we have a fundamental service charge that is standard across all funeral homes. This service charge encompasses the cost of a dedicated 24/7 arrangement counselor and access of your loved one to our state-of-the-art refrigerated facility, where your beloved family member will be cared for before the cremation process begins.
2
PICK-UP AND REMOVAL
Our compassionate team will coordinate the pick-up and respectful removal of your loved one from the place of passing. We meticulously ensure that all necessary documents are in order to take your family member into our dedicated care.
3
TRANSPORTATION (NO MILEAGE FEE)
We provide seamless transportation of your loved one to our crematory without any hidden mileage charges. Your peace of mind is our priority, and we are committed to transparency in our services.
4
DEATH CERTIFICATE AND PERMIT FILING
Prior to cremation, it is a state requirement in California to file a death certificate. Rest assured, we take care of all the necessary filing electronically. Our dedicated team works closely with medical professionals, the health department, and the state to ensure a seamless process. Additionally, if you choose burial at a cemetery or wish to take your loved one's ashes home, we also handle the filing of the required disposition permit on your behalf.

CREMATION PROCESS AND URN
Our comprehensive service includes the crematory fee, and as part of our commitment to providing a thoughtful and practical service, we provide a durable plastic urn that is suitable for various purposes, including travel, mailing, or scattering at sea. Your convenience and peace of mind are our top priorities.
4
COUNTY FEES AND SALES TAX
In our plan, we cover all the costs, including country permit filing fees and state sales tax, all within one clear, upfront price. You can trust that what you see is what you pay – there are no hidden or added charges after your arrangements are made. We prioritize transparency and peace of mind during this sensitive time.

PERSONAL DELIVERY OF THE URN
Instead of using a courier service, our dedicated care team will work with you to coordinate a date and time for the personal delivery of your loved one's urn along with all the necessary certificates. Our commitment is to ensure that you and your family receive the utmost care and attention throughout this process.
