How much does direct cremation cost at Melson Funeral Services?
Melson Funeral Services lists direct cremation from $2,500 in Frankford, Delaware. That is a listed starting price, not a quote. Ask for a written, itemized price list before paying — any funeral provider must give you one on request under the FTC Funeral Rule.

Melson Funeral Services publishes starting prices for direct cremation from $2,500, cremation with a memorial service from $7,165 and a full-service funeral with cremation from $9,440. What each package includes varies between providers, so ask for an itemized list of exactly what is and is not covered before comparing those figures with anyone else’s.
How is Melson Funeral Services rated?
Melson Funeral Services is rated 5.0 out of 5 from 4 reviews. That rating and review count come from the provider’s public Google listing, not from Local Cremation Guide. A rating says nothing about price, so compare quotes as well as reviews.
Where is Melson Funeral Services located?
Melson Funeral Services is at 43 Thatcher St, Frankford, DE 19945, and we list them under Frankford, Delaware. Cremation providers often collect from surrounding towns, hospitals and hospices as well, but coverage and any mileage charge vary — ask Melson Funeral Services whether they serve your address and what transportation is included in the price.
How do I get an itemized quote from Melson Funeral Services?
Call Melson Funeral Services at +1 302-732-9000 and ask for their General Price List. Under the FTC Funeral Rule, any funeral provider must give you an itemized price list on request and must quote prices over the phone. Line the same items up across providers — the cremation fee, transportation, the basic container, filing the death certificate and certified copies — so you are comparing like with like.
