How Cremation Works: A Simple Process for Delaware Families

We’ve designed our cremation process to be as easy and low-stress as possible for families in Delaware. You don’t need to make in-person appointments or sit through a sales pitch. Instead, we offer a simple four-step approach:

  1. Make Arrangements Online or by Phone
     You can begin the process any time — 24/7 — from the comfort of your home.
  2. We Handle Everything
     Our team manages the transportation of your loved one into our care, completes all necessary paperwork and permits, and oversees a private, licensed cremation.
  3. Your Loved One Is Hand-Delivered Home
     When cremation is complete, we return your loved one’s remains to you in person, in a beautiful included wooden urn — not a cardboard box or mail delivery.
  4. We’re With You Every Step of the Way
     Our care team is available throughout the process to answer questions, provide updates, and offer support.


Delaware families consistently tell us how much they appreciate our respectful, step-by-step approach and the peace of mind it brings.

Direct Cremation Costs in Delaware

Cremation costs in Central Ohio can vary greatly depending on what’s actually included. Some funeral homes advertise low base rates, only to add thousands of dollars in fees for transportation, containers, or permits.


At Leaf Cremation, our $1,495 flat rate is truly all-inclusive. It covers:


  • Transportation into our care (within 100 miles)

  • Completion of all required legal documents

  • Private, licensed cremation

  • A high-quality wooden urn included

  • Hand delivery of cremated remains back to your home

  • Unlimited phone and email support


For families needing financial flexibility, LilyPay’s Buy Now, Pay Later option allows you to make four affordable payments — with no interest and no surprise costs.

Transparency You Can Trust

We built Leaf Cremation on a foundation of honesty, clarity, and simplicity — not upselling. Our approach is different:


  • We publish our pricing online

  • We offer no hidden fees or required extras

  • We don’t bundle services into complicated packages

It’s this commitment to transparency that’s earned us over 750 five-star reviews from families across Ohio. Families trust us — and we work every day to honor that trust.
