What is different about Hernando County

Spring Hill was built largely by families who moved down from New York and New Jersey, and a great many of them kept the family plot up north. Cremation here is very often the first half of a two-part plan: the cremation happens in Florida, and the interment happens at the cemetery the family has used for three generations, whenever everyone can gather.

What $1,095 covers in Hernando County

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you serve my area?

Yes. Hernando County is inside our regular Florida service area, including Spring Hill, Brooksville and Weeki Wachee. 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.

How much does cremation cost here?

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 Hernando County rate, the alternative cremation container Florida law requires, and a medical examiner fee if Hernando County charges one. All of them appear on your written price before you authorize anything.

Do I have to travel to Florida?

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 Hernando County are calling from somewhere else entirely.

How soon can you come?

Transport is usually dispatched while you are still on the telephone. How long the drive takes depends on where in Hernando County you are, and we will give you an honest estimate rather than a reassuring one.

How long does the whole process take?

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.

Who answers at two in the morning?

A member of our staff, not an answering service. Whether you are calling from Brooksville or from another country, a licensed funeral director picks up. Deaths do not keep business hours and neither do we.
