Simple Cremations from $1,195.00

We're an online focused cremation service with all arrangements being done online. No visit to a funeral home is necessary. This simplifies and streamlines the process for you while also allowing us to keep our costs down. If a death has occurred or is expected to occur in the next few days, click on the Make Arrangement link in the top bar to access our online arrangement tool. Afterwards, give us a call to report a death and we’ll take care of everything else.

Our cremation packages start at $1,195 when arrangements are made before your loved one has passed. If arrangements are made after, the price is $1,495. That includes the transfer within 90 miles, crematory fee, medical examiner fee, burial permit, a basic cremation container, a basic urn, and filing the death certificate with the state.

We serve families in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, within 90 miles of our locations in Biddeford, Maine and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. If the distance is a bit beyond that, we can still help for an additional $5 per mile past the 90-mile radius.

The cremation process takes approximately 14 days. That timeline starts once the death certificate is signed by the attending doctor. We usually finish sooner, but 14 days is the timeframe we ask families to plan around. We do not offer an expedited option.

Northeast Cremation Service does not offer any funeral or memorial services, but our affiliate funeral homes do. If you're interested, please call us to speak with a funeral director who will go over options with you at no charge.  

Yes. You can make arrangements through our website at any time. The price is $1,195 when arrangements are made before your loved one has passed. When you prepay, the funds are held in a funeral trust opened in your name. We are required by funeral regulations to keep that money separate and cannot use it for anything else. If you ever change your mind, we can refund the money at any time or transfer it to another funeral home.

You can pick up the remains at our location at no charge. If you prefer, we can ship them to you. Shipping within Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts is $95. Shipping anywhere else in the continental US is $195.

We are not able to work with state assistance programs at this time. We only accept credit and debit card as payment. Your local DTA office can provide a list of providers that accept those programs.

We accept credit and debit card payments only. Payment is completed as part of the online arrangement and is required before we can transfer your loved one into our care.
