Tri-State Cremation Center, Inc.

This covers basic services of funeral director and staff, a proportionate share of overhead costs, transfer of your loved one from their location of death to the crematory, filing of all necessary death certificates with the State and Social Security, authorizations and permits, obituary composition and an urn, register book and memorial envelopes. It does not cover mileage beyond the distance this list includes, holding the body beyond the days this list includes and certified copies of the death certificate, 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 price is the home's own package, the one it calls "Direct Cremation".

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. The list says: "Transportation beyond this radius will incur a charge of $ 2.50 per loaded mile. Also, if your loved one passes away in location far enough away (outside Dubuque, Jo Daviess, or Grant Counties) where we may potentially have to ask another funeral service provider in that area to assist us, there may be additional charges from their involvement. We will do our absolute best to control any additional costs, and our deepest apologies when we simply cannot."

This list charges by the day once the body is held longer than its price covers. How many days that is for a family is not something this figure can know, so no amount for it is in the total. The list says: "Storage of Your Loved One’s Body after 72 Hours – $ 100.00 per day"

The median across Illinois is $3,210, from 71 posted price lists we have read.
