Direct Cremation with Fair Costs

Our 100% remote cremation providers allow us to combine 5-star service with affordability. When you choose Tulip San Diego for direct cremation, you pay only for what you need and nothing more. Many families find that direct cremation offers more flexibility to create a unique memorial or celebration of life for loved ones.

Our licensed cremation providers take your loved one into our care from the hospital, hospice, nursing facility, or home. We perform a private, dignified cremation without witnesses. Tulip San Diego obtains necessary permits and paperwork and provides you with copies of the death certificate. Your loved one’s ashes are safely returned to your home in our standard container or an urn you provide.

The Memorial

Choosing online direct cremation gives your family the freedom to host a memorial or celebration of life for your loved one whenever you are ready. Rather than rushing to plan a memorial service in San Diego days after their passing, you can take your time exploring your options and plan a celebration that is truly unique and memorable.

If you have family from out of town, you can plan around their schedule, rather than rushing them to make the services following the cremation. Spend as much or as little money as you’d like, without paying a premium to funeral homes that may not offer exactly what you want. We’ve put together these articles to help you consider all the options available to you as you plan your loved one’s personalized memorial service.

After The Memorial

Even when you choose cremation, there are still various permanent memorialization options available to your family. Most Tulip families choose to find personalized and meaningful ways to store their loved one’s ashes. We can help you find the perfect option for your family.

From purchasing biodegradable urns to scatter the ashes at sea to beautiful, customized jewelry you can wear to keep your loved one close, we have you covered. We have explored a wide variety of memorial products so you can choose an option that best honors your loved one.

Cost of Cremation in San Diego, CA

More American families choose cremation over traditional burial for many reasons, including the cost difference. Traditional burial services cost anywhere from $4,000 to $20,000 depending on the provider and package options you choose.

Cremation costs range from $600 to $5,000 depending on whether you choose direct cremation services or select traditional cremation through a funeral home. Traditional funeral homes are generally more expensive, even if you choose a direct cremation option.

Direct cremation cost is much less expensive because you pay only for the service that you want and need. Many families must consider finances after a loved one’s passing. If you are interested in traditional burial or cremation funeral services, look for a licensed funeral operator that respects your wishes and your budget.

Tulip was wonderful, they had mom picked up. They kept me in the loop of where mom's body was, when they were ready to begin Creamation they let me know. Tulip was understanding of our grief, they were professional and caring. The price was reasonable and fair. So glad I chose them to take care of mom

Efficient, compassionate staff. Great follow up to correct error on paperwork. Would suggest office staff become more familiar with each city or county's public health's processes so as to ascertain better time estimates.

We found out about Tulip Cremation while searching for simple affordable cremation service that provided a discount for veterans. We had called a few other businesses, but Tulip was the most responsive and the easiest to work with in getting the information we needed. They were also the least expensive. Our loved one passed in California, and we had to handle all the arrangements from the east coast by phone and by email. Everything went smoothly and without any problems. I would recommend them to anyone needing cremation service, particularly if arrangements need to made long distance.

At this most heartbreaking, difficult time, the staff at Tulip Cremation was so caring and supportive, while being fully professional and informative. They made this process seamless: From the initial contact and processing of information to the final collection of my father and the delivery of his ashes. I hope everyone can experience this level of support during their time of grief.

My adult son was found by his landlord. He lives 2000 miles away. I searched for a company to help with cremation as that was his wish, and Tulip was a good choice. They walked me through the process. Prices seem fair. They mailed the remains to me.

Losing my dad was unexpected, and I was so overwhelmed trying to figure out what to do next. Tulip Cremation made a really difficult time feel a little easier. They handled everything with so much care and compassion, and their team was always thoughtful and sensitive when I had questions. They communicated clearly and consistently, which gave me peace of mind when I really needed it. I trusted them with the process and I’m so grateful for the support they provided during such a hard time.

Their advertised prices are the prices you pay. Easy to follow website catalog. THEY OFFER FINANCING! Spent weeks dealing with unprofessional crooks before finding Tulip. As soon as I filled out the form I received a phone call from an agent, and she walked me through the whole process. And she kept me informed each step of the way. I just wanted simple cremation, and was never pressured to spend more. Quality services from start to finish. Nothing worse than losing a family member, and Tulip was a huge help.

I had a great experience using Tulip for cremation and shipping services in May 2025. Their representatives were easy to get ahold of, very kind to speak with and super helpful. I found their website to be easy to follow and informative. The services I used them for were quite affordable and reasonable. I would highly recommend their services to anyone needing cremation for their loved ones.
