How much does cremation cost in Louisiana?
$3,100. That is the median of the figures posted by the 28 funeral homes in Louisiana whose price lists we have read for direct cremation. The least expensive of them is $1,510 and the most expensive is $3,965.
The price lists behind these figures are dated Jul 11, 2024 to Aug 18, 2026. We last checked them between Aug 17, 2026 and Sep 11, 2026.
Every figure is that home's own posted price with its county's permit fee and one certified copy of the death certificate added, wherever both are on file, rounded once. Open a home to change the county or the number of copies.
What this includes
A state's median is the middle of the figures the homes in it show, so it carries the same county fees and the same one certified copy those figures carry.

We hold posted prices in 13 of Louisiana's 64 counties. We are still collecting in the other 51, and a county is missing from this list because we have not read a price list there yet, not because its funeral homes charge nothing.
The Louisiana price lists behind this, for direct cremation
Least expensive first. Every figure links to the funeral home's own page, where the price list it was read from is linked in full.
Other questions about Louisiana
No funeral home charges the median. It's where to start, not what you'll pay. The home you call will quote its own price, and the Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule requires it to give you a price list you can keep when you sit down with it.
