There’s no shortage in our area of Jewish-owned chapels which do things al pi halacha.
There’s Yereim, Shomrei Hadas, Shomrei Hachomos, the Sons of Israel chapel in Lakewood, Bais Yisroel in New Square, Kehila Chapels, Jewish Memorial Chapel (Clifton), Plaza in Manhattan.
In every case, these chapels are much cheaper than an SCI chapel.
SCI chapels charge 350 dollars for tachrichim, 700 dollars to “use” tahara room (ie. sheets and water, and a 3 dollar packet of afar from Har haZeisim), and a total of 8000-9000 dollars for a basic levaya, minus grave opening charges.
In Plaza, for instance, they charge 5000 dollars for everything minus the grave opening.
Shomrei Hadas and Shomrei Hachomos are also very cheap.
