Tulip Cremation review
Tulip Cremation was once a multi-state online cremation brand, but it has been folded into Altogether, the funeral network run by Foundation Partners Group. As of 2026 Tulip takes new arrangements only in Northern and Central California, and tulipcremation.com now redirects to a location page on Altogether's site. If you've seen older reviews describing a six-state online service, that company no longer exists in that form.
Review updated September 2026.
Our take
Still a reasonable low-cost online option if you're in the Bay Area or Northern California, but everywhere else Tulip can no longer take your arrangement; you'll be routed into the wider Altogether network instead. Confirm the all-in price in writing, and don't rely on older reviews of the six-state Tulip, that version of the company is gone.

- Bay Area and Northern California families who want a low-cost, no-visit cremation arranged online or by phone.

Tulip Cremation FAQ
- Is Tulip Cremation still in business?
- Yes, but in a much smaller form. Tulip is now part of Altogether, the consumer brand of Foundation Partners Group, and as of 2026 it accepts new arrangements only in Northern and Central California, including the nine Bay Area counties. Its old website now redirects to a location page on altogetherfuneral.com. Families elsewhere are directed to other funeral homes in the Altogether network.
- How much does Tulip Cremation cost?
- Direct cremation is reported at $1,195 to $1,500 depending on the market, though some third-party fees may be extra. Exact package prices are published as PDF price lists on the Altogether site, so ask for the all-in written figure when you enquire.
- Is Solace Cremation the same as Tulip?
- Yes. Foundation Partners bought Solace Cremation in 2022 and folded it into Tulip; the Solace site now tells existing customers that Solace Cremation is Tulip Cremation. Both now sit inside the Altogether network.
- How are the ashes returned?
- By USPS Priority Mail Express, or you can collect them in person from the local facility.
