I need the list of California funeral homes with their services.

Also, have you tried Google? Here's what I got; it may help get you started:

I found this link online.

I believe it is broken down by town. You may try the yellow pages online for a list too.

I hope this may help and I'm sorry you need this information. Best to you and your family.

Do I have to buy a casket when choosing cremation?

Each funeral home may have it's own rules regarding cremation. Some require you to purchase a very basic casket, while others will do cremation in a minimal container.

If you do not know where to start, contact the California Funeral Directors Association -- http://www.cafda.org/ -- and talk to someone there who can better direct you.

On their website you can also search for funeral homes in CA by various criteria -- http://members.cafda.org/cgi-shl/TWServer.exe?Run:DIRECT -- which may help you. In Los Angeles, their website lists 23 funeral homes. It could be quite daunting to determine which one would best suit your needs.

My sympathy for your loss. I hope you can find assistance and get what you need.

Best Wishes!

I'm sorry for your loss.

If the person died in a hospital, contact the hospital's social worker. They always keep a list, and they also know what price range each one charges -- if you need low-priced, they will know where to send you.

What I'm about to say next is a bit rough, and I apologize, but if you need to know, you need to know: In many states, including California, direct cremation is a viable option, and saves an enormous amount of money. If you do not need a service with a casket, contact the crematorium directly and have them get the remains from the hospital, and do NOT involve a funeral director. (Most people don't realize this, but almost no funeral homes actually do cremations; they subcontract out that process, and they usually charge a very steep handling fee for doing so. You can do business directly with the cremation facility if you don't need to use the rooms and facilities provided at a "funeral home".) These businesses don't usually show up in the phone book or online directories, but you can contact the state licensing bureau to get a list. In California, that would be the Cemetary and Funeral Bureau, Fax: General - (916) 928-7988 E-Mail: emailCFB@dca.ca.gov USPS Mail: 1625 North Market Boulevard, Ste. S-208, Sacramento, CA 95834

The crematorium will use a leak-sealed heavy cardboard box to transport the deceased; it will be burned in the process. You would be able to get the cremated remains directly from the cremation provider and take them to the memorial service. Urns can be purchased from them, or online; they will seal them for you if that is what you want. If you wish to scatter the cremains, tell the crematorium, and have them mill the remains for scattering; if you do not do this you may end up with large pieces of recognizable bone.

If you don't involve a funeral director, then you will need to order the death certificates yourself from the state; the hospital can help you with that, too.

Here is the California state government's consumer page regarding death and cremation: http://www.cfb.ca.gov/consumer/funeral.shtml

Cremation societies are all over the country and offer the tranportation
of the deceased, cremation and biodegradable urn for under $800 (at
least in my state)> it helps greatly with grieving not to have more
expenses for a funeral than you can handle comfortably.

I am so sorry you've lost a loved one. Prayers and hugs your way.

Thanks to everyone my friend for your condolence. I have got the information on Cremation Services in US from Allfuneralhomes.com. They have listed US and Canada funeral homes information with their services and contact details.

Again I am thankful to all of you for your help.
