Services
Published pricing shows some inconsistency: the Packages section lists Direct Cremation at $795 while the Pricing section shows $820 starting price. The $795 package includes basic services, transfer within 15 miles, cremation fee, refrigeration, container and urn allowances, dressing, and video memorialization. The Essential Package at $885 adds $25 container allowance and $70 urn allowance. General Price List and Additional Price List PDFs are available for download.

The facility is purpose-built for cremation operations rather than traditional funeral services. Physical features support the cremation process itself and limited family interactions around that process, with no infrastructure for gatherings or ceremonies. The building houses the on-site crematory, a cremation viewing suite for witness services, and space for identification viewings. There is no chapel, no reception or gathering area, and no parking information provided. Families seeking memorial services must arrange those independently at other venues.
Service delivery emphasizes administrative efficiency and price transparency. Reviews consistently note the absence of upselling pressure and adherence to advertised pricing.
A Basic Cremation operates from a single location in Denver's South Jason Street corridor, serving the metro area with a narrow specialization: cremation services and pre-need planning. The business model strips away traditional funeral home infrastructure—no chapel, no reception space, no on-site memorial services—to concentrate resources on efficient, transparent cremation handling.
An on-site crematory distinguishes this operation from third-party cremation brokers. Families work directly with the facility throughout the process rather than having remains transferred to an external provider. The setup includes a cremation viewing suite for witness cremations and identification viewing rooms, though these serve functional rather than ceremonial purposes.
Remote arrangement capabilities allow families to complete paperwork without visiting the facility. Office hours run Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5pm, with a 24/7 answering service for immediate needs.
From beginning to even after the cremation, A Basic Cremation offered heartfelt, professional support throughout. On top of all that, I found the costs of services very reasonable. Lastly, they follow up in the months after were very welcoming too. Thank you.
A Basic Cremation was a respectful, professional, and compassionate company to deal with. They took care of arrangements for our loved one when we were out of state. They took care of all the details and communicated with us every step of the way. We were very impressed with t...
Very wonderful people, patient and thorough. It's a difficult time, but you can rely on these folks.
The entire process, beginning to end was handled in an extremely sensitive and professional manner. Thanks so much to all of you who helped me and my family at this sensitive time.
Worst Service EVER! After my son's tragic death in 2024, I contacted A Basic Cremation to handle his remains. The representative, or "arranger", was insensitive and lacked empathy from the very first contact. Rushing me by explaining to me that she had a lot of other families to ...
