About Us

Choice Cremation was founded by Tammy with a vision to create a more modern, compassionate approach to cremation care. After seeing how overwhelming and complicated funeral arrangements could feel for families, she opened Choice Cremation to offer a simpler and more transparent alternative focused exclusively on direct cremation services.

As owner, Tammy wanted families to feel supported without pressure, confusion, or unnecessary upselling during one of the hardest moments in life. Her goal was to create an experience centered on clear communication, honest pricing, and genuine care, while giving families the flexibility to honor their loved one in the way that feels right for them.
