The home posts $1,190. With one certified copy, $1,210.

How this adds up
"3. Direct Cremation with Safeway Cremation Container"$1,190

Sum$1,210

This covers same package inclusion sentence as item 1. 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 county permit fee belongs to the county where the death occurred, not the county where the funeral home is, so pick that county below or ask the funeral home. Any sales tax is approximate, so ask the funeral home for the exact amount.

The figure above adds one certified copy of the death certificate at $20 to this home's own price.

What the county fee is

Allen 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.

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 IN, Allen County, Tippecanoe County and Vanderburgh County with no fee on file here; in IL, Cook County at $150 and 101 counties at $100; in MI, Grand Traverse County at $75, Ingham County at $32, Kent County at $70, Macomb County at $93, Muskegon County at $55, Oakland County at $60, St. Joseph County at $5, Barry County and Eaton County at $35, Branch County and Cass County at $25, 25 counties at $50 and 10 counties charging no fee; in OH, 88 counties at $10. A county not in this list charges something too; ask that county or the funeral home.

For the burial figures: In this list: in IN, Allen County, Tippecanoe County and Vanderburgh County with no fee on file here; in IL, 102 counties with no fee on file here; in MI, 46 counties charging no fee; in OH, 88 counties at $10. 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

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. Indiana charges $20 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 $20.

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.
