How much does cremation cost in Los Angeles?

Cremation costs vary throughout Los Angeles and across Southern California. The average cremation cost averages just over $1000 in the LA area. There are cremation providers who advertise much lower prices. However, it is important to note that these are simply ‘base’ prices and do not include all of the fees necessary to fulfill an arrangement. In many cases, a cremation service advertised for $600 may actually end up costing you closer to $1400. If the cremation provider does not specify ‘all-inclusive’ pricing, then the price you see is not necessarily the price you’ll get. At Opal Cremation, our prices are all-inclusive. We don’t believe in adding on surprise fees when it comes time to pay. The price you see on our website is the price you’ll pay!

How will I receive my loved one's remains?

There are several ways you can receive your loved one’s remains from us after the cremation: We can ship the remains to your home in Los Angeles, or anywhere in the USA via USPS Priority Mail Express shipping, with tracking and insurance as available options. If you need to ship outside of the US, please call our customer care team to discuss options at 1-888-963-2299. If you live in or around the Los Angeles area, we can hand-deliver the remains to your address, or you can arrange to pick up the remains from one of our locations. Another option we offer is to scatter ashes at sea. The state of California has specific rules and regulations around scattering ashes at sea, so we have created relationships with several service providers who can assist in arranging this. There is no additional charge for this service when our Gold cremation package is purchased. For more information on how to scatter ashes at sea in California, call our LA customer care team to discuss options at 310-525-5354.

However, additional shipping costs may need to be assessed if your delivery address is outside of the Continental US. Please call our Los Angeles customer care team to discuss options at 310-525-5354.

What kind of paperwork do I need to fill have for cremation services?

The type of paperwork required for cremation varies depending on the state. In California, the first thing needed is a death certificate, which can be obtained by calling or visiting the County where your loved one is located. There are additional release forms and documents that require information about the deceased, the next of kin, contact information, end of life plans, signatures etc. Opal Cremation of Los Angeles will handle all of the paperwork, releases, documents, and application for death certificates on your behalf. We are here to help you and your family during this difficult time, and the last thing you need to worry about is making sure all of the required paperwork is completed timely and accurately.
