Who We Are
Funeral & Cremation Care of Colorado is the online, low-cost cremation solution for families in the need of a simple cremation, when dealing with the loss of a loved one. Funeral & cremation Care of Colorado is locally owned and family-operated, so you can rest assured that your loved one will be handled with the utmost care. Funeral & Cremation Care has three locations throughout Colorado to serve your family. All cremations must be paid in full via check, money order or credit card before cremation can take place. Because we are a low-cost cremation facility, we do not accept Department of Human Services (Medicaid) cases. In most cases, you will speak with a funeral director primarily by phone and complete all legal paperwork online, without ever having to set foot inside a funeral home.
First Step
Our cost for cremation is $850. Additional mileage cost may be incurred, depending on the location of the deceased. In cases of greater-than-average-distance, it may take a little extra time for us to arrive to bring your loved one into our care. An estimated time of arrival will always be given to the person calling to notify us of the death. A direct cremation includes

What to do next
On our website, you will find instruction on entering basic, demographic information regarding your loved one. This information will be utilized by the funeral director to generate a death certificate, which will enable us to begin the legal processes which must occur, prior to cremation. You will also have the ability to complete cremation authorizations online, another legal step, prior to cremation. If you have any questions during any part of the process, a funeral director will be available to assist you by phone, at any time. Once the cremation has been completed and death certificates are printed, you will have the option to pick up the cremated remains and certified death certificates from any of our locations or have them mailed to you, at an additional cost.
