Frequently Asked Questions.

How can you offer such low prices?
Where are you located and can I visit your facilities?
How many certified death certificates do I need?

Several factors make our low price possible. Our parent company owns the crematory. Over 30 years of combined experience allows us to work as efficiently as possible. We are effectively using the internet and advances in telecommunications to save on labor costs.

Our licensed facility is located at 3101 17th Street SF, CA. We are unable to accommodate visitors at this location in an effort to keep our price low for you. Our crematory is located at 1094 Yerba Buena Ave. Emeryville, CA. All of the required paperwork will be accomplished via fax or internet. You may e-mail us with questions at assistance@citycremation.com. We will respond to e-mail questions within two hours during business days, Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm.

You need a certified death certificate for any asset that may be transferring from the deceased to someone else as the holding institution needs a certified death certificate to establish death has occurred. Life insurance, real estate, stock, bond, bank accounts, motor vehicles are all examples of assets that may change because of someone’s death. Death certificates are available to you from the local health department at the time you've received the cremated remains via USPS Registered mail. You may order certified copies directly from the San Francisco Health Department. Death certificates will be available approximately 8 business days after we receive the remains.
