Cremation Services at Chicago Modest Cremation
At Chicago Modest Cremation, we provide simple, affordable, and dignified cremation services for families throughout Will, Lake, Cook, DuPage, and Kane counties. We understand that not every family needs or wants the additional expenses and complexities of traditional funeral services. That’s why we focus solely on providing straightforward cremation options that honor your loved one without placing unnecessary financial strain on your family.
What We Offer
Our cremation services are designed to be as simple and stress-free as possible, allowing you to focus on what truly matters during this difficult time. We take care of everything, from the initial arrangements to the delivery of the cremated remains. Here’s what we provide:
Direct Cremation:
Our direct cremation service is an all-inclusive option that covers every step of the process. We handle the transportation of your loved one, complete all necessary paperwork, and ensure that the cremation is carried out with care and respect. Afterward, we return the cremated remains and death certificates directly to you.
Flame Cremation:
Traditional flame cremation is a respectful and efficient process that has been the preferred method for many families. It’s cost-effective and allows for flexible memorialization options, such as keepsakes or scattering.
Water Cremation (Aquamation):
As an alternative to flame cremation, we also offer water cremation, also known as aquamation. This eco-friendly process uses water and alkaline hydrolysis to gently and naturally break down the body. It’s a sustainable option for families who prioritize environmental considerations.
What’s Included in Our Services
Our basic cremation service package, priced at $1,100, includes:
- Transfer of your loved one from the place of death to the crematory
- Filing of the death certificate with the appropriate authorities
- Refrigerated storage until cremation can be performed
- An alternative container for the cremation process
- Professional and compassionate staff handling every detail
- Return of cremated remains and death certificates to your family
