Planning a funeral in Campbell, CA

While the town Campbell has only a small number of funeral homes and doesn’t have its own cemetery, there are plenty of options if you look to the surrounding area when planning a funeral in Campbell. You’ll find a wide range of well-reviewed funeral homes and cemeteries in western San Jose, Santa Clara, Los Gatos and Saratoga.

If you opt for cremation, as the majority of Californians do, you should consider whether you’d prefer to have the funeral home help you with all aspects of funeral arrangement, or if you’d prefer a direct cremation. With a direct cremation, the funeral home will take care of the necessary aspects of coordinating a cremation and filing a death certificate, but won’t assist with other arrangements, such as a viewing or service. If you opt for a direct cremation, you can still hold a memorial service or celebration of life that you organize on your own. Most funeral homes in the Campbell area will offer direct cremation, but you’ll also find companies in the area that specialize in direct cremation and often have much lower prices.

If you decide to have your loved one buried in the Campbell area, there are several cemeteries to choose from, and you can even choose an environmentally friendly burial in a Green Burial Council-certified cemetery if you’re willing to travel a little father.

Regardless of the method of disposition that you choose, it’s generally a good idea to compare funeral services providers, as you’ll find that they can vary greatly in both price and service quality.
