Cremation Packages
The Cremation Society of Vermont provides the simplicity of dignified package services and options which allow you to select the level of service that appropriately meets your needs.
All Plans Include
Basic services of licensed professional staff, transfer of remains from a hospital, nursing home, or assisted living facility*, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Vermont Medical Examiner Free, use of refrigeration, necessary authorizations, cremation fee, and Vermont burial permit.
If you want to arrange a direct cremation, you can use an alternative container. Alternative containers encase the body and can be made of materials like fiberboard or composition materials (with or without an outside covering). The container we provide is a corrugated cardboard container, which is already included in our direct cremation charge.
