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

This home's price list does not show a price for a certified copy of the death certificate, and we have no verified government fee for this place, so please ask the funeral home or the registrar in the county where the death happened what one copy costs.

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

OH law does not authorize alkaline hydrolysis, sold as aquamation or water cremation: Ohio Rev. Code s 4717.01, heat and flame. A price for it on a OH price list is a forwarding arrangement, meaning the body travels to a state where the method is allowed and the remains come back, so it is not a local price and is not shown as one.
