Sum$816
Rounded up to the next $5, the figure above $820

This covers we own our crematories and they are located on-site, so there are no additional fees for transportation to the crematory or outside crematory fees. Basic services of Funeral Director and Staff, transportation of Loved One into our Care within 30 mile radius of Amarillo, alternative container for cremation and necessary Permits and Filing of Death certificate. 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. 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 $21 to this home's own price.

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 Tarrant County funeral home for a death that happened in Parker County pays the Parker County fee. Pick the county of death to know the amount.

In this list: in TX, Dallas County at $30, Bexar County and Travis County at $25, Denton County, Johnson County, Parker County and Tarrant County at $35 and Harris County with no fee on file here; in NM, 14 counties charging no fee. 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. Texas charges $21 for the first copy and $4 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 $21, and each one after that is $4.

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.
