Aftercare Cremation

Established with the mission to meet the needs of families desiring direct or simple cremation without the high costs associated with traditional funeral services, Aftercare Cremation specializes exclusively in direct cremation, offering a transparent and streamlined process for families during a difficult time. The business operates with a commitment to simplicity and affordability, offering a complete direct cremation for a flat fee of $995. This all-inclusive price covers the pickup of the deceased within a 30‑mile radius of Mission Hills, filing all necessary paperwork with the State of California, performing the cremation (for individuals weighing up to 250 pounds), and providing a basic plastic urn for the remains. The only additional costs are certified death certificates, priced at $26 each. For families located in Ventura County, an extra $400 transportation fee applies, and if the remains and death certificates need to be mailed rather than picked up, a $150 USPS 2‑Day Air fee is added. All arrangements can be completed entirely by telephone and online electronic forms, making the process convenient and stress‑free. Aftercare Cremation is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, to ensure that families receive timely and compassionate assistance whenever needed. The typical timeframe from the moment the loved one comes into the facility’s care to completion of the cremation is 7‑14 business days, with death certificates arriving from the county health department approximately seven days later. The business serves communities such as Sylmar, Chatsworth, Granada Hills, Northridge, North Hills, Porter Ranch, Canoga Park, Van Nuys, Tarzana, Sun Valley, and the entire San Fernando Valley. Their office is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, and the facility is wheelchair accessible, with accessible parking and entrances.
