Frequently Asked Questions about Funeral and Cremation Services in Murray

Q: How much does cremation cost in Murray, Utah?

A: Cremation costs can range anywhere from $10,000 all the way to $1,500, depending on the service options you select and the mortuary you select.

Q: Can we hold a celebration of life instead of a traditional funeral?

A: Yes, absolutely. Our dedicated team of funeral directors can guide you through many different ways, both traditional and non-traditional, to honor the life of your loved one.

Q: Does Memorial Murray Mortuary offer cemetery services?

A: Yes! Memorial Murray Mortuary has five cemetery locations throughout Salt Lake and Davis Counties that can help you with any cemetery needs you might have.

Q: Can arrangements be made online?

A: That depends. When a death occurs, there are dozens of decisions that need to be made. In our experience, taking the time to visit with a funeral director in person creates a better experience for the family as opposed to trying to navigate all of the complex decisions that need to be made online.

Q: Do you offer funeral pre-planning?

A: Absolutely! Give us a call today and we can help you start the process of pre-planning your funeral, cremation or cemetery needs.

Q: How quickly can cremation take place?

A: Cremation can usually take place within 7-14 days of the death. The biggest hurdle is typically obtaining the signature of the doctor for the death certificate, which is required before we are able to obtain the cremation permit from the state of Utah.

Q: What if my loved one passes away at a hospital?

A: If your loved one passes away in a hospital, you will have access to the hospital chaplain or social worker who will help guide you through the process of reaching out to a funeral home and starting the planning process.
