Cremation Services
Every life deserves to be honored with care, clarity, and dignity.
Direct Cremation
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
Many families find that very low upfront prices online don’t tell the full story. Once everything is included, the total cost often looks very different. The average cost of cremation is typically $3,500 or more. When traditional services are included, costs can exceed $10,000. Not here.
We believe families deserve honesty and clarity from the very beginning, without confusion or unexpected costs. More than anything, we’re here to care for you with compassion, patience, and support, so you feel guided, not overwhelmed, every step of the way.
Built With Purpose
We’ve intentionally created a space that is simple, thoughtful, and centered on care. Not a large, grand facility with unnecessary overhead, but one designed so families feel comfortable, supported, and never rushed. Everything about what we do is focused on what truly matters, caring for people the right way.
Care You Can Trust
With our private, on-site crematory, your loved one stays in our care every step of the way. Nothing is outsourced. Nothing is handed off. Just a dedicated team caring for your loved one with the same dignity, respect, and attention we would give our own family.
No Hidden Fees. No Surprises.
Just honest, compassionate care when your family needs it most.

One Clear Price. No Games.
Our direct cremation service is $1,995 and includes everything needed to care for your loved one properly and respectfully. We do not advertise a low price and add fees later, and we do not upsell families during a difficult time. That is not who we are. We are here to care for families, simply, honestly, and with compassion.
Options, If You Need Them
If you choose to gather and celebrate a life, we can connect you with trusted local partners. No markup. No pressure. Just options that feel right for your family.
Additional services, such as upgraded urns or private family viewing, may be arranged upon request. Click here for general pricing sheet.
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.
