How this adds up
"B. Direct cremation with alternate container"$3,480
1 certified copy of the death certificate$14
Sum$3,494
Rounded up to the next $5, the figure above $3,495

This covers removal of remains, local transportation to crematory, necessary services of funeral director and staff and the containers we provide are cardboard cremation containers. 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 $14 to this home's own price.

  • additional certified copies of the death certificate beyond what the figure above already includes, which are priced one at a time

This price is the home's own package, the one it calls "B. Direct cremation with alternate container".

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: "(note: all transportation outside of 50 miles will be charged at $2.75 per loaded mile )"

The median across Missouri is $2,570, from 59 posted price lists we have read.

These figures are ballparks for comparing homes, not quotes.

These figures are assembled from this home's own posted price list, and each one is rounded up to the next $5. Treat them as a way to compare homes, not as a quote. Only the funeral home can quote you.

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.

In this list: in MO, 12 counties charging no fee; in IL, Cook County at $150 and 101 counties at $100; in TN, 95 counties with no fee on file here. 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. Missouri charges $14 for the first copy and $11 for each one after it, so those are the figures 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 $14, and each one after that is $11.

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.
