Direct Cremation

Our 100% remote cremation providers allow us to combine 5-star service with affordability. When you choose Tulip San Jose 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 Jose 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 Jose 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 Jose, 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 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.

Basically the service was excellent. The only negative was a lack of communication about when the body would be picked up. My son also suggested that you should provide some kind of bag in which to place the body when carrying it out.

After suddenly losing my adult daughter, I was lost and could not even think about helping myself. A friend recommended tulip cremation and when I called they were so helpful in so many ways both emotionally and physically. Their procedure was easy to follow even for me and older generation person and I wanted to give them the recognition that they deserve by writing this post. You can trust them to help you and it's definitely the best pricing.

Tulip was very companionate and helpful during my time of need when I lost my brother out of state. I felt so lost and didn’t have a clue what to do. Tulip helped me do everything over the phone. Everything went very smooth. Everyone I spoke with was so nice and helpful. Madison was especially amazing. I highly recommend Tulip Cremation services to anyone. They are kind, compassionate, and very knowledgeable and honest. Thank you Tulip for a job well done.

Everything was good except since my sister’s remains were Express Mailed to me, I would have liked to been asked whether I wanted that service or Priority Mail because of the cost as I know that would have been way less than what the charge was. My sister mailed our mother’s cremated remains to me from Napa many years back and it was $65. The same goes for my sister’s death certificate. You mailed it Priority Mail when just regular postage would have sufficed and it would have gotten to me about the same time. I am a retired USPS employee and know Express Service for my sister’s remains were way in excess of that. But, otherwise, your service was great and I CERTAINLY WOULD RECOMMEND YOU to others. Thank you, Jeffrey McMeans

I used Tulip Cremations for the cremation of a loved one who was far away, and they made the entire process very manageable. The team was kind, communicative, and handled everything smoothly. Although it took a bit longer than expected to receive the remains, I understand this could have been due to the circumstances. Overall, I appreciate their service and how easy they made everything during a difficult time. No complaints, and I would recommend them.

Tulip was a very good experience during a very trying and sad time. They were very professional, sympathetic, and helpful. There was a donation involved, and they coordinated everything with the other company, which made it very simple and reduced and relieved a lot of stress. I hope I do not have to use them again but if a loved one passes, I would not hesitate for one second; I will be calling Tulip. I did have a special request and they made sure that it happened, everything was smooth and seamless. I appreciate appreciate everyone there. Again, it was a wonderful experience.
