City of Oaks Funeral Home & Cremations
Affordable direct burial services in Wake Forest with City of Oaks Funeral Home.
Our simple, affordable direct burial services costs only $2497.50.
An Immediate Burial is when the body is taken directly from the place of death (or from the morgue) to the cemetery. Normally, the body stops at the funeral home just long enough to secure the death certificate and burial permit – and for the family to buy the cemetery plot, if needed. The body is then transported to the cemetery where it will be buried in a grave or entombed in a mausoleum crypt. With an Immediate Burial there is no funeral ceremony, visitation, grave side service, or embalming.
Other funeral homes charge more but we're committed to providing Wake Forest residents with exceptional burial service at a reasonable price. If you find any of the services we offer cheaper at another licensed funeral home we will match the cost of that item and discount it by an additional 10%*. Simply having to reach out to a funeral home can feel overwhelming. Our goal is to simplify the experience and make this difficult process as easy as possible. We hope to eliminate any unnecessary surprises by publishing our total cost and the services we provide directly on our website. Hopefully this simple gesture helps provide your family with a little piece of mind. We're located in Wake County, North Carolina, but we provide our services to families throughout the entire state and beyond. Every year we help dozens of families in Wake Forest make simple, affordable cremation plans and arrangements.
We assist families in Wake Forest and all throughout North Carolina and we do not charge an additional mileage fee.

An immediate burial has the same end result as a traditional burial; however, we have eliminated the extra (sometimes unnecessary) services prior to getting to the cemetery. Not everyone wants an open casket for viewing or a limousine for the family. Despite the term immediate, we can move as fast as you need or as slow as you like. This option simply allows you to save money by eliminating some of the fancy extras at the funeral home.
$6081.48
We offer the same traditional funeral services as the big corporately owned funeral homes in the area; however, we cost about half the amount. You might consider a traditional funeral service if your family is looking for an open casket visitation, a traditional church service or a funeral service in the funeral home's chapel. A traditional funeral service can be altered to fit the needs of your family.

This establishment is one of a select number of funeral homes who meet the criteria for providing green funeral service by the Green Burial Council; a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization working to encourage environmentally sustainability in the field of funeral service.
