The list posts this as one line; what it covers is not printed; ask the funeral home. It does not cover additional certified copies of the death certificate beyond what the figure above already includes, which are priced one at a time. A container, rental casket or cremation casket is not included in this price. A cremation casket or a rental casket will need to be purchased or rented for this package. That usually adds more than $1,000 to the figure shown, so ask the funeral home directly for an accurate price. Any sales tax is approximate, so ask the funeral home for the exact amount.

The figure above adds the North Carolina medical examiner cremation authorization at $50 and one certified copy of the death certificate at $10 to this home's own price.

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.

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. North Carolina charges $10 for the first copy and $10 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 $10, and each one after that is $10.

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.
