This covers transfer from the place of death to the funeral home within New York's five boroughs. Basic services of the funeral director and staff, filing necessary authorizations, securing the death certificate and obtaining certified copies. Service vehicle to the crematory. Cardboard alternative container. Crematory charges ($200 Crematory in Linden NJ). NYC Cremation Permit & NYC Filing Fee (Permit $41.20, Filing Fee $5.55). Only additional charge is for NYS Death Certificates ($15 per copy). It does not cover certified copies of the death certificate, which are priced one at a time.

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. A family using a Bronx County funeral home for a death that happened in Kings County pays the Kings County fee. Pick the county of death to know the amount.

In this list: in NY, 5 counties at $40 and 57 counties charging no fee; in CT, 17 counties at $5; in MA, 14 counties with no fee on file here; in NJ, 21 counties at $5; in PA, 67 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

This home's price list states its own charge for certified copies of the death certificate, quoted with the figures above. The figures on this page add no copy, so ask the funeral home how many you will need and what they will cost.

Tax is always approximate. Ask the funeral home for the exact amount.
