Direct cremation on this page is the lowest direct cremation price printed on each home's General Price List, usually with an alternative container or one you provide.
A traditional funeral is the package printed on the list. When a list has no package, the figure adds up the core service lines and leaves out the casket, vault and cash advances.
Price lists change. Call and ask for the current General Price List, including the container, permits, and anything billed as a cash advance.
Direct cremation is cremation without a viewing or funeral ceremony. On a General Price List it is a package price. It usually excludes an upgraded urn, flowers, obituary notices, and cemetery or scattering fees. Ask which container is included before comparing two quotes.
Each funeral home writes its own General Price List. Staffing, location, and what the package includes all change the number. The useful comparison is the direct cremation line on each home's own list.
Start with the low and median direct cremation prices. Then call two or three funeral homes and ask them to confirm the current General Price List, including what the package leaves out.
The FTC Funeral Rule requires a funeral home to give a General Price List to anyone who asks in person. The list itemizes professional services, and if the home offers direct cremation, the list has to show its price.
