Dallas Cremation

 

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

DALLAS, TX, A NEW SERVICE MODEL AND VALUE PRICING COME TO THE FUNERAL INDUSTRY WITH LOCALCREMATION.COM

 

Dallas, 05/31/11.  We are all assured of at least one thing in life: death.  It is the one thing we all face, yet rarely discuss.

 

Often, we are simply afraid to talk about this inevitable event.  However, there can be other factors besides fear that may keep us from preparing for death, like a tight budget, or a desire for a something other than a traditional funeral service.

 

Most of us experience end-of-life planning in an at-need situation when we have lost a loved one, and few of us know how to face these times or even where to start.  Recently, a different funeral concept came to Dallas and has been greeted with a positive response.

 

“We founded Local Cremation.com as an alternative to traditional funeral and burial options,” Wendell Cox, said.  Mr. Cox, along with his wife Amy, is the founder and owner of this new concept in final arrangement options.

 

 “With the downturn in the economy and the rising need for affordable cremation services, we saw an opportunity to serve a real need in the Dallas area,” he said. 

“LocalCremation.com is a simple, dignified and affordable way to bring honor to a life well lived,” Mr. Cox said. 

 

“Value and service together are often difficult to find, yet we are able to deliver both for several reasons,” Mr. Cox continued. “First, we operate and own our crematory so a family’s loved one never leaves our care.  Second, we personally go to the place of death and bring a family’s loved one into our care.  Finally, because we do not have the overhead of a larger traditional funeral home, we are able to keep our costs low,” he said.  “In other words, families who want a simple burial or cremation do not need to go to a large funeral home to receive service and value.”

 

“This was our first experience with a cremation service. Mr. Cox and his staff were so helpful,” B.F.* of Dallas said. “When they came for my mother, even though she had passed, they treated her with respect and compassion.”  She continued, “We also think that the cost of traditional funerals is too high (sic). Cremation will be our choice when the time comes.”

“We offer a friendly and comfortable environment for making cremation arrangements.  If the family prefers, we can come to them to make these arrangements in the comfort of their home” Mr. Cox said.  “Also, a family can conveniently finalize these arrangements online, after we have been notified of the death,” he said.

 

“Everything was handled in the most professional way,” J.C.* of Dallas, said. “The unintimidating surroundings and kind manner of Mr. Cox was very helpful. He was very gracious and informative in his guidance through the process. He explained all the options available in a most professional way, without pressure. I will refer Mr. Cox’ service any time I may have a chance to do so,” J.C.* continued.

 

LocalCremation.com is an affordable, personalized cremation and burial service company providing cremations, burial services with a casket, and memorial services. 

 

 

*Due to the personal nature of loss and grief, only initials are used to identify Mr. Cox’ clients.

Arlington Cremation

Typically, when a loved one dies, the one thing is that nobody thinks about the money. Only later, the survivors thought that death in the United States is very expensive – so expensive, the saying goes, nobody can afford to do it right.

The average funeral cost of U.S. $6,500, according to the NFDA. The true sum could easily reach $ 10,000 once a burial place, flowers and other expenses are included, the AARP says.

You don’t need have to borrow for honoring the dead, however. In many parts of the country, a loved one can be buried in dignity for less than $800, with the choice of cremation and the use of creativity. Even those who favor the traditional funeral and burial can save hundreds or thousands of dollars by taking some simple steps. Local cremation is a top choice for: Cremation Services of Dallas, Arlington Cremation, Fort Worth and surrounding cremation.

The consumer advocates recommend these steps:

Plan and talk about death with your spouse and / or parents. Know what they want and commit those wishes to paper. Do they want to be burned shortly after death no ceremony? Or do they want a huge funeral with a choir – but absolutely no fancy headstone? Lack of communication is costly.

Learn about your rights. The Federal Trade Commission “Funeral Rule” requires mortuaries to present a cost list of services to consumers before displaying products such as caskets. A new FTC brochure that outlines your rights is “Paying Final Respect”. Your rights when buying goods and funeral services” Another detailed, yet easy to read is the FTC brochure “Funerals: A Consumer Guide”
