Cremation after a hospice death — $995
When a death occurs at home or in a hospice facility, our licensed local team coordinates the transfer, required paperwork, identification and cremation with clear guidance at every step.
If your loved one dies while receiving hospice care
1. Contact the hospice nurse
The hospice nurse must complete the required pronouncement and confirm that the person can be released into funeral-provider care.
2. Call Atlantis
Tell us whether the death occurred at home, in a hospice facility, hospital or nursing facility. We coordinate the local transfer after release.
3. Arrange securely online
The authorized family member completes selections, required information and signatures online. Our team is available for questions.

No hospice affiliation required
Families may choose Atlantis directly. We do not claim affiliation with or endorsement by any hospice organization.
Local, not national
Your calls, transfer and cremation are handled by a licensed South Florida team—not routed through a national call center.
Expected death is not the same as preplanning
This service is designed for an imminent or recent at-need death. It is not a prepaid funeral plan. If your loved one is currently receiving hospice care and death is expected soon, you may review the process and gather information, but transfer cannot occur until the required pronouncement and release are completed.
When can the price exceed $995? Additional charges apply when the person weighs more than 300 pounds. Additional certified death certificates and optional merchandise are priced separately and disclosed before arrangements are completed.

Atlantis uses documented identification throughout the process and offers digital identification verification before cremation.
