Bonham Bros. & Stewart Mortuary and Cremation Service

This covers this charge for direct traditional flame cremation (without ceremony) includes initial services of staff, removal of remains (no additional mileage charge if within San Diego County), refrigeration, transportation to crematory, cremation fee, cardboard container (as required by statute) and a plastic urn. It does not cover additional certified copies of the death certificate beyond what the figure above already includes, which are priced one at a time. Any sales tax is approximate, so ask the funeral home for the exact amount.

The figure above adds the California permit for disposition of human remains at $12 and one certified copy of the death certificate at $26 to this home's own price.

This price is the home's own package, the one it calls "Direct Cremation (traditional flame cremation)".

This list states what one certified copy of the death certificate costs. How many copies a family needs is not something this figure can know, so no amount for it is in the total. The list says: "This fee includes our basic service fee, the transport of your loved one from the place of passing (no additional mileage charge if within San Diego County), embalming, dressing/casketing, two hour viewing directly prior to service, use of funeral coach (hearse), and burial at any location (no additional mileage charge if within San Diego County). We have a wide selection of caskets (starting at $1,375) and a varied selection of register books, memorial stationary (folders, prayer cards, bookmarks) available for order. Holiday, weekend services, and an added attendant with utility vehicle for flower transportation, can all be provided with possible additional fees. As with any of our services, we will obtain your certified death certificates for you (County charges at $24/copy apply)."
