What Is Direct Cremation?

Direct cremation is the simplest and most affordable form of cremation. There is no viewing, visitation, or funeral ceremony before the cremation takes place. Your loved one is cared for with dignity, cremated, and their remains are returned to your family.

Many families choose direct cremation because it allows them to honor their loved one in their own way and on their own timeline — whether that's a private gathering at home, a celebration of life weeks later, or a quiet moment of remembrance.

With Southwest Cremation, you can complete the entire arrangement process online in about 30 minutes, or you can call us anytime at (417) 815-3242 to speak with a licensed funeral director.
