DFS Memorials

Who are DFS Memorials?

DFS Memorials is an independent, family-run network connecting families with licensed local cremation providers across the United States and Canada. Founded in 2012, we work with 80+ vetted funeral homes in 41 states and 3 provinces, all offering simple, fixed-price direct cremation from $795.

Is DFS Memorials a funeral home?

No. DFS Memorials is not a funeral home or crematory — we are a nationwide referral network that connects families directly with carefully vetted local funeral homes and cremation providers. Operating since 2012, we partner with independently owned providers across the United States and Canada. When you contact DFS Memorials, you are connected with a licensed local provider who handles transportation, paperwork, and the cremation itself.

Are DFS providers licensed?

Yes. DFS Memorials only works with licensed funeral homes, cremation providers, and funeral directors who are legally authorized to operate in the states they serve. Our network providers must comply with all applicable state funeral and cremation regulations, licensing requirements, and consumer protection laws. This includes proper handling of the deceased, secure identification procedures, required authorizations, and adherence to cremation standards.

How is DFS Memorials different?

Unlike large corporate funeral chains or online-only cremation companies, DFS Memorials connects families directly with local licensed funeral professionals in their community. Many of our providers are independently owned funeral homes that share our commitment to affordable and dignified care. DFS Memorials was created to help families find simple, affordable cremation services without the pressure, upselling, or high prices that are often associated with traditional funeral arrangements.
