Cremation Services
Every life deserves to be honored with care, clarity, and dignity.
Simple. Private. Dignified.
We care for families the way we would want our own family cared for, with compassion, respect, and guidance through one of life’s most difficult moments.
Clear Pricing From the Start
Our direct cremation service package is $1,995. We believe families deserve to know what is included from the beginning. Many very low prices advertised online can look different once transportation, professional services, cremation containers, and other required services are added.
We take a different approach.
Our goal is to make cremation care simple, clear, and easy to understand, while giving your family the support you need throughout the process.

Care You Can Trust
With our private, onsite crematory, your loved one stays in our care throughout the entire cremation process.
Nothing is outsourced. Nothing is handed off to another crematory.
From the time we bring your loved one into our care until their cremated remains are returned to your family, our team is responsible for caring for them with dignity, respect, and attention.
Built With Purpose
We intentionally created Minnesota Cremation Services around providing exceptional cremation care.
Unlike a traditional funeral home, we don't have large chapels, elaborate spaces, or unnecessary overhead. Our facility was designed specifically for the respectful care of your loved one and the needs of the families we serve.
By focusing on cremation, we're able to keep our services simple and affordable without compromising the compassion, dignity, and personal attention every family deserves.
Simple Pricing. More Communities Served.
Our $1,995 direct cremation package includes the primary services most families need for a simple, dignified cremation within our standard service area.
We're also proud to extend our care beyond the Greater Twin Cities and St. Cloud areas, helping more Minnesota families access the same thoughtful services.
Because transportation distances vary, package pricing may differ depending on where your loved one is located.
Proudly Serving More Minnesota Communities
Our standard service area extends 50 miles from our Rockford care center. As more families have reached out to us from surrounding communities, we've expanded our reach to make our compassionate, affordable cremation services available to even more Minnesota families.

Additional Options, If You Need Them
Every family is different. Some prefer a simple cremation, while others may wish to include a private viewing, an upgraded urn, keepsakes, shipping of cremated remains, or other personal touches.
Additional charges may apply for optional services or special circumstances, such as bariatric care or other accommodations. If your family wishes to hold a memorial gathering or celebration of life, we can also connect you with trusted local partners.
There is never any pressure to choose additional services. Our team will always explain your options and any additional costs before moving forward.
Simple. Private. Dignified.
OUR DIFFERENCE
Many people do not realize that only a small number of funeral homes operate their own crematory. At Minnesota Cremation Services, everything takes place right here under our care from the moment your loved one is entrusted to us through the cremation itself using the newest cremation equipment in Minnesota and overseen by our Licensed Funeral Directors.
What truly sets us apart is how personally we serve families. When you call, you are not routed to an answering service or call center. You are speaking with a real local professional who understands what you are going through. We will guide you through each step with clarity, compassion and honesty. We are available 24 hours a day - 7 days a week, because families do not experience loss on a schedule.
As a family owned and deeply local business, we believe in fair transparent pricing and treating every family with the same care we would want for our own. We pride ourselves on providing small town attention, genuine compassion, and steady support, ensuring every family feels heard, respected, and cared for during one of life’s most difficult moments.
