When a death occurs anywhere in Clay County, one call brings your loved one into our care. We serve Orange Park, Middleburg, Green Cove Springs and Keystone Heights with local transport and dignified cremation for $1,095.
Clay County’s population is shaped by the Navy presence at Jacksonville, and a great many households here include a veteran. That matters practically: an honorably discharged veteran may be inurned in a national cemetery at no cost to the family, with the niche, the marker, a burial flag and a Presidential Memorial Certificate provided. We ask for the DD-214 early and handle the filing, because families often do not know the entitlement exists.
The same price and the same inclusions everywhere we serve. It does not go up because of where you live or how far we have to drive.
Under hospice care: call your hospice nurse first, then call us, and tell the nurse your loved one is entrusted to Simple Affordable Cremations. We coordinate directly with the hospices serving Clay County.
Not under hospice care: call 911 before calling us. Once officials give their release, we take your loved one into our care.
At a hospital or nursing facility: call us and name Simple Affordable Cremations as your funeral establishment. The facility handles the rest with us directly.
Yes. Clay County is inside our regular Florida service area, including Orange Park, Middleburg, Green Cove Springs and Keystone Heights. Transport is dispatched to the place of death anywhere in the county, and the phone is answered 24 hours a day at (239) 207-0390.
Our service fee is $1,095, the same in every county we serve. It covers transport into our care, sheltering, all permits and filings, the cremation itself, a temporary container named for your loved one, and the return of the cremated remains to your family in person. Three things sit outside it: certified death certificate copies at the Clay County rate, the alternative cremation container Florida law requires, and a medical examiner fee if Clay County charges one. All of them appear on your written price before you authorize anything.
No. Authorizations are signed electronically and every arrangement can be made by telephone and email, whichever state or country you are calling from. A large share of the families we serve in Clay County are calling from somewhere else entirely.
Transport is usually dispatched while you are still on the telephone. How long the drive takes depends on where in Clay County you are, and we will give you an honest estimate rather than a reassuring one.
Florida requires a mandatory waiting period before a cremation, and the medical examiner must authorize it, so most cremations happen within three to seven days of the first call. The variable is how quickly the death certificate is signed and authorized, not anything on our side.
A member of our staff, not an answering service. Whether you are calling from Green Cove Springs or from another country, a licensed funeral director picks up. Deaths do not keep business hours and neither do we.
A licensed funeral director will call you back. For an immediate need, calling is faster and someone will answer.
