Humboldt Cremation & Funeral Service is the county's first family owned, funeral home alternative. We specialize in just one thing: simple cremation. Our purpose is to provide you with a lower cost alternative to the costly mortuary and other direct cremation providers. We carry out your wishes simply, very affordably and with dignity.

Cremation is considered a more environmentally friendly option for the final disposition of remains, it also allows for a wide range of final disposition options such as cemetery interment, scattering at sea, or kept at home. Our 5 step Peace-of-Mind cremation safeguards, we help lessen the burden placed on surviving family members at a difficult time.

All cremations are done at our family-owned crematory in Eureka. Your loved one never leaves our care. Our positive identification system insures your peace-of-mind.

Ava Bazard Tramblie

Administrative Assistant

I'm Ava, this job is quite literally my dream job. I'm very honored and so fulfilled to work here. I've had a long-standing interest in this industry due to the sudden loss of my father at a very young age as well as a natural inclination for the unknown. I love art that's not trying to be art, my wife, fashion, music, comedy, my two tiny dogs, and historical documentaries. It's beautiful how much love and care everyone puts in. I will always consider myself lucky to be a part of this.
