When a death occurs anywhere in Wakulla County, one call brings your loved one into our care. We serve Crawfordville, Sopchoppy and St. Marks with local transport and dignified cremation for $1,095.
Wakulla County is coastal and largely residential, with most of its working population commuting into Tallahassee. That means a death frequently occurs at a Tallahassee hospital while the family and the home are down in Crawfordville. We coordinate with the facility on one side and the family on the other, so nobody is driving back and forth to move paperwork.
The same price and the same inclusions everywhere we serve. It does not go up because of where you live or how far we have to drive.
Under hospice care: call your hospice nurse first, then call us, and tell the nurse your loved one is entrusted to Simple Affordable Cremations. We coordinate directly with the hospices serving Wakulla County.
Not under hospice care: call 911 before calling us. Once officials give their release, we take your loved one into our care.
At a hospital or nursing facility: call us and name Simple Affordable Cremations as your funeral establishment. The facility handles the rest with us directly.
Yes. Wakulla County is inside our regular Florida service area, including Crawfordville, Sopchoppy and St. Marks. Transport is dispatched to the place of death anywhere in the county, and the phone is answered 24 hours a day at (239) 207-0390.
Our service fee is $1,095, the same in every county we serve. It covers transport into our care, sheltering, all permits and filings, the cremation itself, a temporary container named for your loved one, and the return of the cremated remains to your family in person. Three things sit outside it: certified death certificate copies at the Wakulla County rate, the alternative cremation container Florida law requires, and a medical examiner fee if Wakulla County charges one. All of them appear on your written price before you authorize anything.
No. Authorizations are signed electronically and every arrangement can be made by telephone and email, whichever state or country you are calling from. A large share of the families we serve in Wakulla County are calling from somewhere else entirely.
Transport is usually dispatched while you are still on the telephone. How long the drive takes depends on where in Wakulla County you are, and we will give you an honest estimate rather than a reassuring one.
Florida requires a mandatory waiting period before a cremation, and the medical examiner must authorize it, so most cremations happen within three to seven days of the first call. The variable is how quickly the death certificate is signed and authorized, not anything on our side.
A member of our staff, not an answering service. Whether you are calling from Crawfordville or from another country, a licensed funeral director picks up. Deaths do not keep business hours and neither do we.
A licensed funeral director will call you back. For an immediate need, calling is faster and someone will answer.
