The loss of a loved one can bring about feelings of confusion, shock, denial, sadness and despair — emotions we don’t want to experience, especially when it involves the death of someone close to us. We understand what you’re going through, and our staff is here to help you in any way we can. You’ll never feel alone at Price-Helton Funeral Home; we have funeral directors who can assist with planning, arranging and honoring the memory and life of your loved one through our cremation, funeral and memorial services.
While we’re all aware that death is inevitable, not every family is prepared for it; it can be costly to arrange a cremation plus a memorial or a funeral service. When death occurs due to an illness, families may also need to pay for medical expenses, which adds additional stress. Price-Helton offers affordable cremation services to help families. Our direct cremation service covers everything, including a plastic urn for storing the ashes. Compared to other funeral homes in the area, you can save 50%–75% off with our direct cremation service.
We also offer financing for those not financially prepared to arrange a cremation or funeral service. Price-Helton Funeral Homes partners with a third-party provider to help our clients see available loan offers that suit their needs. You can apply for financing online or by visiting us and get approved in minutes. Simply choose a financing term and sign the agreement form. Whether you get approved or not, seeing your loan options won’t affect your credit score.
We’re open around the clock, and families can easily make online arrangements. Whether you’re arranging cremation for a family member who has just passed or planning for the future, feel free to use our online form. Just click on the Start Arrangements link on the website and answer a few questions. After completing the questionnaire, our funeral director will contact you on the next steps. We also help families purchase a casket (if you book a funeral service) and a cemetery plot and book flower arrangements.
p>We use heat and flame when cremating the remains of your loved one. Our staff will carefully place your loved one’s body in our own cremation chamber and apply heat to reduce it to bone fragments. Cremation can take 2–3 hours, depending on the body’s bone structure. After cremation, we’ll place the ashes in a plastic urn, and you can take it home or arrange a funeral service after cremation. We can also hand-deliver the urn to your residence or cemetery.
Price-Helton also offers water-based cremation as well. In a water-based cremation, we use water, chemicals and heat to cremate the body of your loved one. If you can’t decide which type of cremation to arrange, feel free to contact one of our funeral directors to help you make a decision.
Step One – Contact Us for More Information
At Price-Helton, we make everything convenient and easy for families because we understand how difficult it can be when a loved one passes. You can arrange a cremation service on the website, over the phone or by visiting our funeral home.
Step Two – Complete the Necessary Documents
After making an arrangement, our funeral director will advise you on which documents you need to acquire before we can proceed. We do everything at Price-Helton Funeral Home; our funeral director can handle everything, from notifying the proper authorities and relatives to preparing the death certificates and submitting an obituary for the newspapers. We can also assist in coordinating with clergy for the funeral ceremony.
Step Three – Register Your Cremation Preplans
We offer three cremation packages for families: Direct Cremation, Cremation Followed by Memorial Ceremony and Funeral Ceremony Followed by Cremation. All of our packages cover basic services, including the services of a funeral director and our staff, a utility vehicle for transferring the remains and an online obituary listing. We recommend our cremation package that includes a memorial service to allow you to properly say goodbye. Honoring the memory of a loved one through a memory service can help you heal and recover faster.
Step Four – We’ll Be Here When You Need Us

You can also use our equipment for live-streaming, a service ideal for those with family members who can’t come to the funeral or memorial service.
