Full payment is required at the time of arrangement. Accepted payment methods include personal check, cashier's check, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. Insurance assignments are not accepted for the Simply Cremation Plan—families must pay directly and seek reimbursement independently. Prices are subject to change without guarantee.
The Rochester facility at 1105 12th Street SE houses the crematory constructed in 1997, enabling same-campus processing without external transfers. The Byron location, opened in 2017 at 1620 Voll Drive NW, also maintains on-site cremation capabilities. Specific chapel capacities, visitation room counts, and facility amenities are not detailed in available materials.
The Simply Cremation Plan is strictly limited to direct cremation without supplementary services. Families requiring memorial coordination, obituary assistance, or ceremony planning must either self-arrange or transition to Macken or Byron Funeral Home's full-service offerings at adjusted pricing.
Simply Cremation operates as a specialized direct cremation service offered through Macken Funeral Home, which traces its origins to 1909 as Rochester's oldest family-owned and operated funeral establishment. The program is designed for families seeking an affordable, no-frills cremation option without additional funeral services or staff involvement.
The service is headquartered at Macken Funeral Home's 1105 12th Street SE location in Rochester, with an additional facility available at Byron Funeral Home in Byron, MN for families seeking geographic convenience. Both locations maintain on-site crematories, a significant operational distinction that enables expedited processing.
The Simply Cremation model reduces costs by minimizing staff participation—families handle their own memorial arrangements, obituary placement, and cemetery coordination. This stripped-down approach targets price-conscious consumers who do not require traditional funeral home support services.
