Axelson Alternative Cremation, Inc.

The Axelson Family, which has been known for excellence and innovation in funeral service, is now servicing the Butte Community in a NEW way. We are very proud of our 75 year commitment to serving families. Axelson Alternative Cremation, an affordable alternative to traditional funeral homes, has been established to meet the changing needs and wishes of Butte.

Cremation is a decision that provides as many memorial choices as burial. Cemetery interment, niche committal, scattering, a simple family service or a traditional church service are just a few of the many options available to families. With cremation, all of these are easily arranged by the family or friends. Our service means peace of mind, convenience, and affordability.

We offer these services to families for $1,275.00

This represents a significant savings when compared to a funeral home's charges for the same services.

Axelson Alternative Cremation is here to serve you day or night at:

After you contact us:

• The deceased will be removed from the place of death.
• We will complete all paperwork required by the State of Montana, Social Security and the Veterans Administration.
• All necessary authorizations will be obtained.
• Cremation will be performed at Butte Crematories, a crematory that conducts its business in accordance with the highest standard of crematory practice.
• The cremated remains will be returned to the next of kin or other designated person, in a proper container suitable for burial, scattering or other manner of disposition.

Urns are available for your selection if desired.

With our guidance, details of a memorial service can be arranged by family, friends, church family or another organization. This offers a very personal memorialization and fitting tribute to a loved one's life.

We openly welcome the opportunity to discuss your questions and concerns. We can provide you with information for establishing a pre-arranged service or conduct a review of any existing pre-arrangements with another provider. Funding for a pre-arrangement service is extremely beneficial to those applying for Medicaid benefits. We will assist you in creating this funding through a local financial institution.
