Planning a funeral in Sacramento, CA

If you’re planning a funeral in Sacramento, California, there are dozens of funeral homes and several cemeteries available to choose from. Before choosing a funeral home, it’s generally a good idea to determine whether you wish to have your loved one to be buried or cremated. (Cremation is more common in California.) If you opt for cremation, you can either choose to work with a full-service funeral home or one of a few direct cremation providers in Sacramento. Direct cremation is often a more affordable option, and can be good for families who want to plan a memorial service or celebration of life without the support of a funeral home or who do not wish to have an event.

Another factor to consider is whether you’d like the funeral home and/or cemetery to share a cultural or religious affiliation with your loved one. Most funeral homes and cemeteries in Sacramento have no cultural or religious affiliations, but there are Catholic, Jewish and Latino/a focused options.

You’ll also find that prices at both funeral homes and cemeteries can vary greatly for the similar goods and services, so it’s always a good idea to shop around and compare prices before making a final decision.
