What the county fee is
DeKalb County is the county this funeral home is in, so that is where the figures start. The permit fee belongs to the county where the death happened. If that was a different county, pick it and every figure on this page moves with it.
For the cremation figures: This fee is charged by the county where the death occurred, not the county where the funeral home is. A family using a Adams County funeral home for a death that happened in Alexander County pays the Alexander County fee. Pick the county of death to know the amount.
For the burial figures: This fee is charged by the county where the death occurred, not the county where the funeral home is. The amount for this state is not on file here, so ask the funeral home.
For the cremation figures: In this list: in IL, Cook County at $150 and 101 counties at $100; in IN, Allen County, Tippecanoe County and Vanderburgh County with no fee on file here; in MO, 12 counties charging no fee. A county not in this list charges something too; ask that county or the funeral home.
For the burial figures: In this list: in IL, 102 counties with no fee on file here; in IN, Allen County, Tippecanoe County and Vanderburgh County with no fee on file here; in MO, 12 counties charging no fee. A county not in this list charges something too; ask that county or the funeral home.
The counties of the states this one touches are in the list too, each one labeled with its state, because a death does not stop at a state line.
Certified copies of the death certificate
This home's price list does not show a price for a certified copy of the death certificate, and we have no verified government fee for this place, so please ask the funeral home or the registrar in the county where the death happened what one copy costs.
Tax is always approximate. Ask the funeral home for the exact amount.
