Allen & Shaw Cremation

Allen & Shaw Cremations Inc. is a family-owned and operated cremation service provider based in Opa-Locka, Florida, serving the South Florida community with dignity, compassion, and affordability. Founded in 1998 (with operations beginning April 1, 1999), the business has overseen thousands of cremations, earning a stellar 4.6-star rating from 43 reviews on Google Maps. Their mission is to provide the highest quality service and value to families during the most difficult times, ensuring no lies, no hidden fees, and complete transparency throughout the entire arrangement process.

At the heart of their service is a commitment to keeping your loved one in their care at all times. Allen & Shaw operates its own family-owned crematory, which allows for prompt attention and a quicker turnaround time. Their direct cremation package, priced at an affordable $650, includes removal and transportation from the place of death to their crematory, a basic alternative cremation container, care and refrigeration, securing all required authorizations, filing the original death certificate with the State of Florida, notifying the Social Security Administration if an SSN is provided, the county medical examiner cremation approval fee, and cremation performed by a certified professional. Cremated remains are returned in a non-decorative sure-lock plastic container. Additional charges may apply for certain circumstances such as transportation from Palm Beach County, secondary removals, certified copies, or oversized cases.

Families can make arrangements online, by phone, or in person at their office located at 13931 NW 20th Ct, Opa-Locka, FL 33054. The business is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing immediate assistance when a death occurs.
