How It Works
Our staff of dedicated professionals is available to guide you through all aspects of arranging a cremation service.
Arrangements
Online arrangements are simple and affordable. You can review all of the available options from the comfort and privacy of your own home and provide your billing details online. Everything can be easily completed in 15 minutes or less.
Documentation
We’ll email you the required paperwork to easily authorize cremation online. No need to print, fax, or mail. Upon filing the death certificate we’ll secure a state cremation permit and schedule the cremation as soon as possible.
Transfer
At the time of need, our professional staff will respond as soon as possible to the place of passing to bring the deceased into our care. We are usually able to arrive to the location within one or two hours inside our service area.
Return
When the cremation is complete we’ll arrange for the return or disposition of the cremated remains. We offer shipping via USPS Priority Mail Express, hand delivery within our local service area, or disposition by scattering at sea.
Peace of Mind in Minutes
Completing your cremation arrangements today means that you’ll be able to spend more time with your loved ones when it matters the most. Our imminent need arrangements are the simplest way to prepare for an expected loss.

Imminent Need Questions
Where are you located? Can I come in to make arrangements?
We serve the Pacific Northwest including Clark, King, Kitsap, Mason, Pierce, Skagit, Snohomish, and Thurston Counties in Washington and Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas Counties in Oregon. Our administrative mailing address and arrangement counselor staff are located in Seattle and Tacoma, respectively. We have partner crematories in Kent, Marysville, and Portland, with transportation centers in these locations as well. Please keep in mind, however, that part of the reason we are able to keep our service prices low is because we do not have the ability to meet families to make arrangements in these locations. Instead, the families we serve complete the arrangement forms online.
What should I do when I require your services?
Simply call our 24/7 toll free number and our licensed professionals will help you through the next steps.
Once my loved one is taken into your care, where do they go?
Your loved one is immediately transported to our closest partner cremation facility. Our partner cremation facilities are located in Kent, Marysville, and Portland. Each cremation facility maintains licensed holding facilities which are secure and climate controlled. Your loved one is taken care of there until all required paperwork and documents are completed, at which time we will proceed with cremation.
When is payment due for services?
We’ll store your payment information securely until transportation is arranged and only then will we charge your credit card for the amount due.
