Alternative Funeral & Cremation Services

Many people in our country are becoming concerned about the rising cost of funerals. We feel there is a more affordable solution to this problem.

Cremation, Immediate Burial and Anatomical Donation are being chosen by more families each year, indicating that the consumer is selecting a more affordable plan of final disposition. Until recently, the public has had few choices in this matter.

By eliminating costly buildings, cars and personnel, we can offer several types of dignified services to satisfy both the economic needs and  personal preferences of the family.

The Affordable Alternative. Our full service, licensed funeral home is designed to serve the needs of families who desire quality funeral services at affordable prices. We provide traditional funeral service with the added advantage of specializing in non-traditional services including cremation, graveside or church services, medical school donations, and worldwide transportation services.

Over one hundred styles of caskets, many urns, and several options of burial vaults along with other funeral related products and a solid oak cremation rental casket are offered at substantial savings.

The chapel hours for visitation and funeral are based on first available openings, and charged on an hourly rate, therefore allowing your family to opt for as much time as needed instead of paying a flat rate often charged within the industry. Automotive equipment such as a hearse or limousine is rented as needed. By applying these charges only when used we help to reduce our overhead to families choosing alternatives. Alternative Funeral & Cremation Services believes that a family should have a quality, dignified service, paying only for services rendered.

These arrangements may be made either at the time of need, or by pre-arrangement. Arrangements paid in advance are guaranteed and the price will never increase. This is available through a funeral trust, controlled and monitored by the state of Missouri and endorsed by the Missouri Funeral Directors Association.

Our funeral directors are Missouri licensed with over seventy-five years of collective experience. We are also family owned and operated, having lived in the St. Charles community for over forty years.

A simple phone call to our office will allow us to discuss your options and cost. We may be reached twenty-four hours a day.

If you have an existing funeral plan, we may be able to save you money!

Respectfully Yours,

Alternative Funeral & Cremation Services
