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. Idaho charges $16 for one, so that is the figure 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 $16.

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.

ID law does not authorize natural organic reduction, sold as terramation or human composting: Definitional mention only in a 2025 coroner statute. A price for it on a ID price list is a forwarding arrangement, meaning the body travels to a state where the method is allowed and the remains come back, so it is not a local price and is not shown as one.
