Funeral service basics, explained simply to you

Two short videos addressing our families' two most-asked questions.

01 · The basics
What is direct cremation?

Let us walk you through what direct cremation is, what’s included, and what it isn’t — in plain English, in under two minutes.

02 · The difference
How is After different from a traditional funeral home?

Same licenses, same care — without the chapel, the casket showroom, or the commissioned sales staff. Here’s exactly what changes, and what doesn’t.

One price. Posted publicly.

Federal law requires every funeral home to publish a General Price List. Most bury theirs in a PDF. Ours is right here, on the page.
