How much does cremation cost in North Carolina?
$2,725. That is the median of the figures posted by the 70 funeral homes in North Carolina whose price lists we have read for direct cremation. The least expensive of them is $855 and the most expensive is $4,665.
The price lists behind these figures are dated Sep 1, 2019 to Aug 18, 2026. We last checked them between Aug 18, 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 19 of North Carolina's 100 counties. We are still collecting in the other 81, 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.

Other questions about North Carolina
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.
