How much does an immediate burial cost in the District of Columbia?
$4,315. That is the median of the figures posted by the 5 funeral homes in the District of Columbia whose price lists we have read for an immediate burial. The least expensive of them is $3,500 and the most expensive is $8,200.
The price lists behind these figures are dated Jul 1, 2023 to Aug 25, 2026. We last checked them between Aug 23, 2026 and Aug 30, 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.

Other questions about the District of Columbia
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.
