Cremation Society of Orange Coast is an affordable and dignified alternative to a traditional funeral service. Rush cremation service in which the cremation is performed within 24 hours of the receipt of a Health Department Cremation Permit. Cremation with visual identification and witnessing the cremation container or casket being placed in the cremation chamber.

My mom passed away under some intense circumstances and I needed a crematory that I could trust and wouldn't rake us for every dollar we had. I received crematory quotes from a dozen places ranging from $500-$4K. Cremation society fell around the $600 range and is worth every penny and more. I worked with Nicole, who helped us every step of the way, coordinating with the coroner, etc.
Services
Given the extremely emotional circumstances, Nicole gives you comfort and confidence that the process is being handled properly. Everything is explained to you clearly. Updates and communication are really good. Highly recommend the Cremation Society.

Our charge for a simple cremation (without ceremony) includes: Basic services of funeral director and staff; transfer of remains from place of death to funeral home (possible additional charges if out of service area), cardboard cremation container, durable plastic urn, and cremation.Obtaining cremated remains can be arranged for free pick up at our office in Garden Grove (additional fees for shipping or personal delivery).
When you choose an urn, you are creating a permanent memorial, one that reflects your loved one's character and your personal taste. Deciding what will be done with cremated remains may help you decide what type of urn to select. An urn can serve as an important focal point at a funeral or memorial service.
For those times when a public viewing is desired before cremation, we offer a wide range of cremation caskets. Our cremation caskets vary in style, design, materials, and price. If you are interested in purchasing a cremation casket, please call Cremation Society of Orange Coast and allow our competent staff to assist you.

I understand job can be busy, but professionalism means keeping promises.
contacted them in april. funeral coordinator not present. decided to arrange appointment few days from call via staffer. appointment date arrives. coordinator missed appointment. called them to check. no staff answered.
my deceased father taught me "to make the world better, one must keep their promise". i hope this institution understand this review.

I worked with Nicole at Cremation Society of Orange Coast when my mother was killed. She was extremely kind and helpful during the entire process. Anytime she said she would do something for me she would do it, which helped ease my burden significantly. I would highly recommend working with this company.

Dealing with a child's death from out of state is something you can't anticipate, or plan for. Nicole made this part of our tragedy easier to deal with, as she is compassionate, and knows folks who are involved, from the coroners office on.

My sister recently passed and I had no idea where to start in finding a cremation service. Based on reviews specifically naming Nicole as compassionate, kind and professional, I chose Cremation Society. Nicole exceeded my expectations. It's new emotional territory making arrangements when losing someone, and Nicole guided me gently through it all. Grateful for her. In addition, their fees are reasonable and the process flowed smoothly.

Nicole was tremendously helpful in a very difficult time. The whole process was seamless and there was no nickel and diming, surprise charges, or up selling. Everything was very straightforward and professional. I highly recommend their services if you find yourself unfortunate enough to be in the market.

I recently lost my husband the first part of this year. When I contacted Nicole at the Cremation Society she was the kindest, sweetest person ever! She took care of all my questions and needs before during AND after going through the cremation process. If you would like to have at least one stress free issue that is related to losing a loved one, this is a great place to offer you that peace of mind.

Prior to my mom's passing I looked into various cremation service organizations. Cremation Society of Orange Coast was the one I decided upon due to Nicole Madsen's professional, patient and compassionate nature. She explained everything to me in detail, including an accurate timeline of events I could expect from the time of death, down to receiving my Mom's ashes and Death Certificates. I found her not only to be knowledgeable, but also a reliable and accurate source of information. She made the process easy, so that everything was in place prior to my mom's death. At a time that is very difficult
