Owning our own crematory ensures prompt attention to your needs with no scheduling delays. Eric and staff are wonderful, thoughtful experts. I have full confidence in recommending Beacon for helping you out in this most difficult time. With so much going on, it is comforting to know they are by your side every step of the way.

The Beacon Promise represents Beacon Direct Cremation's vision and promise to serve the families that entrust the care of their loved ones, with the best people, practices, and products. It is the guiding principle behind every decision and interaction with families.
Services
Our goal is to provide families in all of the Tampa Bay Area with a simple and affordable alternative to the "traditional funeral home" experience. The families we serve have the ability to make the cremation arrangements in our newly renovated offices, or the comfort of their own home. Our Online Arrangement System allows nearly every step in the process to be completed online, via your desktop computer, laptop, tablet or even on a smartphone.
Not only is it a practical impossibility, but it is illegal to do so. The majority of modern cremation chambers are not of adequate size to house more than one adult. No reputable crematory engages in practices such as this. All responsible cremation providers have thorough operating policies and procedures in order to provide the highest level of service and reduce the possibility of human error.
Pre-planning for your final arrangements defines your choice of final disposition and eliminates the uncertainty that your loved ones may have. Pre-planning also locks in the price at todays cost and protecting you from rising cost generally associated with funeral services. Your end of life wishes will be your decision and will be documented.
Eric and staff are wonderful, thoughtful experts. I have full confidence in recommending Beacon for helping you out in this most difficult time. With so much going on, it is comforting to know they are by your side every step of the way. Trust is something that is earned, and Beacon Direct has proven to be worthy.
Please accept our condolences for the loss of your loved one. We are here to help during this difficult time, do not hesitate to call us with any questions or concerns you may have. There will be a $95.00 processing fee that will be added to the price of the direct cremation for setting up the trust and processing the contract.

Beacon truly lives up to their name, as a shining light for all of us who come to them in our saddest, darkest moments of life.
When my dear dad suddenly passed in May '21 from Covid, the charge nurse caring for my dad that night referred me and my family to Beacon for the great value they provide. When I called, I was greeted by the most calming, compassionate voice who sincerely listened to my heart-breaking story. He slowly walked me through every step and told me what to expect along the way, which was so extremely comforting since I was feeling so shaken and disoriented. I was so grateful

In a very difficult time, the folks at Beacon seamlessly handled our arrangements for our mother. We didn’t have to go to their facility until well after our loss which allowed us some time to heal. Great folks and excellent customer service. They care and it shows in how they handle your business. Thank you Beacon!

I used Beacon direct three years ago and was so impressed with their compassion, efficiency, and service. Eric Kluge is especially good at his position with Beacon. So when I again needed their service, I called them immediately. Again, I was very pleased with the experience.

Eric was very kind and gentle with our family during this difficult time. He always answered his phone when we needed him and was willing to listen to our needs. I believe firmly that God placed him in our path at just the right time. We were from out of town and Eric made the experience simple for us. Our family is thankful for Beacon and for Eric. May God bless the staff and team he has. Five stars is not enough!

I highly recommend Beacon to handle your loved one - and you - with the utmost care. For those of us accustomed to traditional funerals, cremation carries some mystery. Beacon was excellent in removing that mystery. It's very important to personally visit the facilities you're considering and to also know that who you're dealing with actually owns and controls the crematory. Visiting helps to discern the quality of service you're likely to get. After visiting 3 local offices, Beacon was the most impressive in terms of atmosphere, organization, professionalism and communication.
