YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
Affordable & transparent
We know that planning a cremation isn’t something families do every day. It’s important to understand that not all providers are the same, and there are many things that set us apart, including the fact that we’re transparent about our inclusive pricing.
The old adage “you get what you pay for” couldn’t be more true than when it comes to the services cremation providers offer.

Ask these questions before choosing a cremation provider
If you’ve rarely or never shopped for cremation, you may find the process daunting. We made a list of questions to ask, so you can find the best provider for you.
Remmert Funeral Home is licensed and insured in the state of Illinois. Never work with an unlicensed or uninsured cremation provider.
Dignity Memorial providers own their own crematories or work with trusted crematory partners. All employ crematory operators who are licensed and certified by Cremation Association of North America, or CANA. Having our own crematories or working with trusted partners allows us to ensure that your loved one is well-cared for throughout the cremation process. Cremation providers without their own crematories may not always know the whereabouts of your loved one. What happens when a loved one is passed from the provider with whom a family contracts to another operator? That provider may lose control of the quality of the process and level of care.
The old adage "you get what you pay for" couldn't be more true than when it comes to the services cremation providers offer.
The appeal of a low-cost cremation provider often vanishes when you find out that the price you're quoted isn't the price you're going to pay. Other cremation providers may charge extra for mileage or delivery of a loved one's ashes. They may charge for the removal of a pacemaker or tack on a fee for a larger loved one. We don't do that.
We offer affordable packages, and the price we give you is all inclusive.
We encourage families to prearrange cremation services, but we know that's not always possible. It's for that reason that we work with families to help them figure out how to cover cremation expenses.
- Pre-need funeral insurance
- Final expense insurance
- Burial insurance
- Life insurance
- Credit card
- Check
- Cash
Plus, our experience dealing with insurance is often helpful for the families we serve. We can assist with the logistics, even filing a claim on your behalf or providing short-term assistance while you're waiting for insurance to pay out.
It's one thing for a business to claim great service—it's another for a business' customers to claim that business has great service. Google gives people a chance to rank a business after interacting with it.
One star indicates poor service; five stars indicates excellent service. The higher a business' Google star rating, the greater your chances are of having an outstanding experience.
Other cremation providers may say they have exclusive custody of your loved one, but many don't own their own crematories and outsource cremations to third parties. Remmert Funeral Home or a trusted partner has custody from the time our transportation professionals bring your loved one into our care until they're returned to your family.
From the moment we take your loved one into our care until the moment we return them to you, we safeguard their identification through every step of the cremation process. Our custody-of-care program means that we check, cross-check and check again.
After your loved one has been cremated, you may return to our location for their ashes or we'll bring them to you.
If you choose to pick up your loved one, we create a special moment called a Signature Dedication. It's a small ceremony to honor your loved one. If you want us to deliver your loved one's ashes, Concierge Delivery is white-glove service right to your door (within a 30-mile radius) at no additional charge.
You can reach us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our cremation services come with a 100% Service Guarantee. If there's something you're dissatisfied with, we'll fully refund that portion of the service.
We can do either one. We'd love to host you for an in-person tour around our facility, or we'll show you around virtually.
