is a family-owned direct cremation service. 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. You automatically receive copies of the documents as you complete them. In case you need help, we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. . We do not charge you extra when you pay with your credit card, and unlike other funeral establishments additional crematory fees do not begin unless the deceased is over 400lbs. We believe that families are best served if the cost for the services are fair, transparent and presented upfront. You can rest assured that the price quote you receive is accurate and final. We offer a wide variety of urns and personalized memorial products. Eric Kuge has been a licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer in the State of Florida since 1990.
