Choosing a cremation provider
Some cremation providers are entirely price focused. They provide the
bare minimum of services possible to keep the price low. You may be offered
few, if any choices and may not even have face to face contact with the
provider.
You may be asked to make your decision based on very limited information.
News stories over the past several years indicate that reliance on price alone
as a criteria for the selection of cremation providers is fraught with danger.
