The Funeral Home Alternative

Tri-County Cremation Service was established to provide an affordable alternative for those persons who desire cremation without visitation and traditional funeral service.

Tri-County Cremation is locally owned and independently operated by by Michael R. Blickenstaff. He is a graduate of the Kentucky College of Mortuary Science and has been serving bereaved families in the Central Florida area since 1985. Many of the funeral homes in Central Florida today are large corporate-owned operations, whose real directive is to sell as much as possible to as many people as possible. You should also be aware that not all cremation services are independently owned. Some funeral homes when faced with a family that cannot afford the funeral home price for cremation, will "recommend" a cremation service - which also happens to be owned by the funeral home.

Tri-County Cremation Service handles only cremations and can do so in a more cost effective and efficient manner than a funeral home.Tradition instinctively tells us that when a death occurs, a funeral home needs to be contacted. In the case of the family who is interested in cremation, calling a funeral home can be a costly mistake at a time when finances and peace of mind may both be in turmoil.

Using Tri-County Cremation Service means:

• Experienced, caring and efficient service
• You deal directly with the owner
• Arrangements can be made in the privacy of your home, in our offices or another convenient location
  
• No hidden charges and no society fees
• You won't have to leave your home to make arrangements
• You won't have to pay high funeral home costs for embalming or purchasing a casket
