What the county fee is

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 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.
