Cremation in Rhode Island
Rhode Island's small size means fewer cremation providers, but Providence, Warwick, and Cranston offer competitive options. Prices are somewhat above the national average due to the higher cost of living.
Rhode Island Cremation Laws
Rhode Island bars cremation until 24 hours after death and requires a burial permit plus a cremation certificate from the state medical examiners (R.I. Gen. Laws § 23-3-18).
Money-Saving Tip
Rhode Island's small market limits price competition. Consider comparing prices with nearby providers in southeastern Massachusetts or eastern Connecticut for potentially better rates.

Tommy was a great help during a difficult time. He answered my many questions and the day-of went very smooth.
Tom and his staff were truly phenomenal! I'm forever grateful for his unwavering support. He selflessly devoted time to address every concern, particularly given my Massachusetts roots and my mother's presence in North Carolina. He transformed a sorrowful experience into a bearable one. He generously took the time to answer every question, regardless of its significance, even responding to calls after hours and addressing every email. He embodies compassion and kindness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ~Steven
Professional, compassionate, and very helpful throughout the entire process.

We went to Patrick Quinn three years ago when our mom passed away and now most recently for my dad to the location in North Kingstown. Patrick and Chris are very caring and went beyond in accommodating my family to help make the celebration of life for our dad a beautiful day. It was very comforting to feel that we did not have to worry about a thing. They took care of everything. They do a wonderful job, everything was perfect. I would wholeheartedly recommend Patrick Quinn. We cant thank them enough.
With their great guidance, patience and knowledge, Patrick Quinn and his son, Chris made planning my dad's funeral a comforting experience. I was able to contact both of them at any time and they always responded quickly no matter what my questions were. My dad was an artist, and they were more than willing to personalize the room, where calling hours were, with many of my dad's paintings, painter's pallet and brushes. Even the prayer card had a painted portrait on one side of my dad painting, that his friend painted of him, which Patrick suggested would be a nice touch. As an artist myself, I also appreciated the artistry of making my dad look so natural in appearance as I always remembered him. Patrick and Chris work beautifully together and will make your experience, during a difficult time, a truly memorable one. Their friendly personalities made me feel welcomed and cared for throughout the entire time we worked together.
When our Mom passed away, we contacted Patrick Quinn. From the first call and throughout the planning and services both he and his staff were compassionate, professional and extremely helpful both to our dad and my sisters and brothers. There aren't enough words to thank you for making a very difficult time easier. I would highly recommend. Patty Boyes
