Cremation Society of Minnesota
ABOUT CREMATION Q. How does the Cremation Society of Minnesota work? A. The Cremation Society is notified immediately
at the time of death. The member’s body is taken to the Society’s crematory. It is held until proper medical authorization and a cremation permit is secured. It is then cremated.
Q. What happens to the ashes after cremation? A. The member’s remains are handled according to their written instructions. They may be picked up by survivors or delivered for a fee.
Q. What is the cost for cremation? A. “Our current cost for our basic direct cremation service is $1,595.00.” It includes removal of the body from the place of death, cremation, filing of necessary papers, and a cardboard container suitable for burial. The charge for non-members, who we also serve, is more.
Q. How do I become a member? A. Fill out the registration form and mail it to our
near-est location. Enclose a one-time membership fee of $15.00 per person. The fee covers setting up and maintaining records. It is not refundable nor an offset to final service costs. We will register you and send you a wallet-sized membership card, and a certificate of registration.
Q. What are the benefits of prepaying for services? A. Prepayment provides two benefits – it removes a
stress from survivors and guarantees that services will be performed at today’s cost.
Q. Where can I learn more? A. You may call or visit any one of our locations, or
visit us at cremationsocietyofmn.com or email us at csminnesota@aol.com
