Direct Cremation in Denver for $800

The Simple Cremation is a licensed Colorado funeral provider focused on one thing: straightforward, dignified direct cremation. Direct cremation is the simplest and most affordable end-of-life option available. There is no formal viewing or religious service held at our facility, which removes most of the line items that traditional funeral homes add to a bill. Families who choose direct cremation can still hold a memorial service later — at home, at their church, in a favorite park, or anywhere meaningful — on their own timeline and at their own cost.

Our flat $800 price covers everything required to complete a cremation inside the state of Colorado. That includes transportation from the place of death (home, hospital, nursing facility, or hospice house) to our facility, refrigeration, a state-approved basic cremation container, the cremation process itself, a temporary urn, assistance obtaining certified death certificates, and filing of the cremation permit with the county. We do not sell mandatory "premium" packages. If a family wants an engraved urn, additional certified copies of the death certificate, or a special return option for the ashes, those add-ons are quoted clearly upfront and are entirely optional.

We serve families across Colorado, including the Denver metro, the Front Range cities of Boulder, Fort Collins, Greeley, and Colorado Springs, mountain communities like Breckenridge and Vail, and Western Slope towns such as Grand Junction and Delta. Our on-call team picks up loved ones twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week — including holidays. Most families complete every form online or over the phone, so an in-person visit to our 3900 Niagara Street office is rarely necessary, although it is always available if you would prefer to meet face to face.

From the moment your loved one is in our care, we follow strict Colorado funeral regulations: identification stays with the body at every stage, the cremation cannot proceed without written authorization from the legal next of kin, and Colorado's required waiting period and county-issued cremation permit must be in place before the cremation occurs. Rafael, our licensed funeral director, personally oversees every case and is the person you talk to on the phone — you will not be passed off to a call center. We also extend a veterans' discount to honor those who served our country, and we are happy to coordinate directly with the VA on burial benefits where eligible.

If you are pre-planning for yourself or a family member, we can document your wishes, keep a record on file, and lock in today's pricing. If you are calling because someone has just died, take a breath — call us, and we will handle the next steps with you, calmly and clearly.
