Prices are subject to change without notice.
The goods and services shown below are those we can provide to our customers. You may choose only the items you desire. However, any funeral arrangements you select will include a charge for our basic services and overhead. If legal or other requirements mean you must buy any items you did not specifically ask for, we will explain the reason in writing on the statement we provide describing the funeral goods and services you selected. Certain funeral services may be provided off-premises by other funeral service providers.
Basic Services of Funeral Director and Staff and Overhead $495
This fee for our basic services and overhead will be added to the total cost of the funeral arrangements you select. (This fee is already included in our charges for direct cremations, immediate burials, and forwarding or receiving remains.) *This fee is non-declinable.
Our basic service charge includes but is not limited to the arrangement conference, coordinating service plans with cemetery, church, hospital, or other institution, 24 hr. availability, preparation and filing of any necessary permits and certificates relevant to the funeral process, placement of death notices and obituaries, bookkeeping, accounting and other administrative expenses. This fee also includes overhead expenses relative to our facility such as wages, insurance, facility maintenance, equipment costs, utilities, and government compliance.
Embalming $795-995
Embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial. Embalming is the process of chemically treating human remains to reduce the presence and growth of microorganisms, to temporarily inhibit organic decomposition, and to restore a natural physical appearance for funeral services within a reasonable period. *Required for services with an open casket, per Carewell Cremations policy.

In Our Customers’ Words
I found Carewell on the internet. I couldn’t travel to another state where my father had passed, but found Carewell, who took care of everything, from recovering his body from the Fairfax Hospital to sending me my fathers ashes and his death certificates. I appreciate this service so much and the whole time, they stayed in communication with me. Carewell took a lot off my plate in such a difficult time. Thank you.
I lost my father in March 2024. During this tender and painful time, Amelia and Carewell Creations were a deep comfort. Amelia handled everything with kindness, professionalism and warmth. If you want a business that is reasonable, reliable and does exactly what they say they will, then work with Carewell.
During a tough time, Amelia and her staff helped make everything as easy as possible. Amelia was absolutely fantastic to me and my family during a very challenging time in our life. They are professional yet highly personable and made me feel as though I was their only client. I can’t express how grateful I am to them for their kindness and consideration. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need.
We recently lost my Father and chose Carewell Cremations to carry out his last wishes. Amelia and the staff at Carewell were so supportive and compassionate with us during this time. They were easy to contact and kept in constant communication with us throughout the process. They spoke of my Father as a person and were very careful with him during pickup.
I was blessed to find Carewell as I received the most outstanding service and support. The team was very professional and compassionate throughout the entire process. I really felt as though Carewell was the best place to care for my loved one. They provide a calming experience during such a hard time. I highly recommend Carewell.
My experience with Amelia at Carewell Cremation has been great considering the nature of it. She was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the process of my mom’s cremation. It was the part I had to think least about amidst all the things that need to be taken care of when a loved one passes away. Thank you again for your professionalism and compassion.
