Direct Cremation in McKinney, Texas
At Lone Star Cremation, we specialize in direct cremation for McKinney, TX families. Direct cremation — also called immediate cremation — means the deceased is transferred directly from the place of death to our licensed crematory. They are kept in a temperature-controlled facility throughout.
There is no showing of the body before cremation. This greatly reduces the cost of arrangements. Many families then choose to hold a memorial service after the cremation to celebrate the life of their loved one and spread or inter the ashes at a location of their choosing.
Significantly Lower Cost
No viewing or embalming required means costs are dramatically reduced compared to traditional funeral arrangements.
Temperature-Controlled Care
Your loved one is kept in a temperature-controlled facility from the moment they enter our care until cremation is performed.
Flexible Memorial Options
Families can choose to spread, bury, or keep the ashes — and hold a memorial at any time and place that feels right.
