This covers same package description as A, container supplied by the home. It does not cover mileage beyond the distance this list includes and additional certified copies of the death certificate beyond what the figure above already includes, which are priced one at a time. The permit for the disposition is already in this price. This home says so on its own price list, so there is nothing to add for it. Any sales tax is approximate, so ask the funeral home for the exact amount.

This list charges by the mile once the drive passes the distance its price covers. How far that is for a family is not something this figure can know, so no amount for it is in the total.

Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing.

These figures are ballparks for comparing homes, not quotes.

These figures are assembled from this home's own posted price list, and each one is rounded up to the next $5. Treat them as a way to compare homes, not as a quote. Only the funeral home can quote you.

Certified copies of the death certificate

One certified copy of the death certificate is included in every figure on this page.

This home's list does not post a price for a certified copy of the death certificate. Florida charges $5 for the first copy and $4 for each one after it, so those are the figures below. This is what the record itself costs. Ask the funeral home whether it charges anything to order them for you.

How many certified copies do you need?

Most families need more than one. Raising the count raises every figure on this page.

One certified copy is $5, and each one after that is $4.

Nobody can tell you how many you will need. Banks, insurers, and pension offices each tend to want their own, so families commonly order several. Set the count and the line says what that comes to.

Tax is always approximate. Ask the funeral home for the exact amount.
