5280 Cremation and Funeral Service

5280 Cremation and Funeral Service is a family-owned and operated funeral home based in Aurora, Colorado, with over 30 years of dedicated service to the community. The name “5280” is a tribute to Denver’s identity as the “Mile High City,” reflecting the 5,280 feet in a mile. This locally owned establishment was founded with a clear vision: to provide professional, compassionate, and affordable cremation and funeral services during families’ most difficult times. Unlike large corporate funeral homes, 5280 Cremation prides itself on offering personalized care that puts families first.

The team at 5280 Cremation consists of first-generation certified funeral directors, including the current president of the Colorado Funeral Directors Association and a licensed funeral director and embalmer. This independence allows the firm to adapt to the evolving death care profession without being constrained by corporate policies. Their progressive approach includes the option to complete all arrangements online from the comfort of home or meet at their modern, work-style office—a model that helps families save money while still receiving exceptional service.

Services offered are comprehensive and tailored to honor each unique life. They include traditional funeral services, cremation services, veterans’ services, and pet funeral services. The funeral home also provides pre-planning options through a partnership with Homesteaders Inc., a company with over a century of experience in funeral profession financing. Families can use an online planning tool to select urns and finalize details, or they can schedule a meeting with a preplanning specialist. Grief support resources are available to help families navigate the grieving process at any stage.

Accessibility is a priority: the office features a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking, and on-site parking is available. Financial assistance and prepayment plans are offered to ease the burden. The staff is available to meet families at their own homes or at the funeral home’s location at 2851 South Parker Road, Suite 130, Aurora, CO. With a commitment to clear, compassionate care and a reputation built on trust over decades, 5280 Cremation and Funeral Service continues to serve families with dignity and respect.
