These figures are assembled from this home's own posted price list, and each one is rounded up to the next $5. Treat them as a way to compare homes, not as a quote. Only the funeral home can quote you.

Cremation

$4,430

This covers direct cremation with the minimum alternative container and transfer of the deceased into the funeral home's care. It does not cover certified copies of the death certificate, which are priced one at a time. The county permit fee is not in this price.

Read this home's price list

Still unverified, and so not claimed here: who owns this home; how this home operates, meaning whether it runs its own crematory and its own chapel.

Price is not quality. A higher figure does not buy a better funeral. Use these numbers to ask better questions, not to rank anyone.
