The crematory operates at 3121 44th Avenue North in St. Petersburg, with the corporate office co-located at the same address. The facility includes a secure on-site morgue with climate-controlled storage, and the cremation chamber where individual cremations are performed over 2-5 hour periods. The setup enables same-location intake, storage, and cremation without external transfers. No chapel or reception spaces are maintained, as the business model excludes formal viewings and ceremonies.
Florida Direct Cremation focuses exclusively on cremation services without traditional funeral offerings. Their process emphasizes chain-of-custody documentation, visual identification checks, and steel ID tag tracking throughout.
Florida Direct Cremation operates as a family-owned crematorium based in St. Petersburg, with roots in the community dating back to 1966. The business maintains its corporate office at the same premises as its crematory, emphasizing operational integration. Their service model centers on direct cremation—a streamlined option without formal viewing or ceremony prior to cremation—delivered across a seven-county region encompassing Pinellas, Hillsborough, Hernando, Sarasota, Manatee, and Pasco counties.
The facility distinguishes itself through an on-site crematory, meaning decedents remain in their care throughout the entire process rather than being transferred to third-party facilities. Licensed support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, though standard office hours run Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 2 PM. The business positions itself around transparent pricing and simplicity, with an online instant quote system and published general price lists.
