Understanding Cremation Costs
Cremation costs vary depending on the type of arrangements and services selected.
A family choosing direct cremation will have different needs from a family choosing cremation with a viewing, visitation, funeral, church service or memorial.
DeGraff Cremation Service provides different options so families can understand what is available and choose the arrangement that is appropriate for them.
You can review all of our cremation services in Ocean County, NJ to compare the different arrangements available through DeGraff.
What Affects the Cost of Cremation?
The services a family chooses can affect the total cost of a cremation arrangement.
Options may include:
- Direct cremation
- Cremation with a viewing
- Cremation with visitation
- Funeral service followed by cremation
- Memorial service
- Church service
- Graveside service with cremated remains
- Scattering at sea
- Personalized arrangements
Not every family needs or wants the same services.
Some families prefer the simplicity of direct cremation, while others want an opportunity for family and friends to gather before or after the cremation.
Direct Cremation Costs
Direct cremation is generally a simpler arrangement because it does not include a formal viewing, visitation or funeral ceremony before cremation.
Families may still choose to hold a memorial or celebration of life afterward.

Cremation With a Viewing or Funeral
Families who want a viewing, visitation or traditional funeral before cremation have additional options available through DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home.
Because these arrangements include additional services, facilities and staff, the cost will differ from direct cremation.
