Typical Cremation Cost
The actual cost of cremation will vary depending on the funeral option chosen.
For example, a person may choose:

• a traditional funeral service followed by cremation; (A traditional casket, cremation casket, or rental casket would be used.)
• direct cremation, visitation, and church/chapel service with the urn present;
• direct cremation followed by a memorial service;
• direct cremation followed by scattering of the remains; or
• direct cremation followed by graveside burial of the urn.

Generally, the average cost of cremation when using a funeral home is between $2,000
and $4,000. However, if these services are handled directly by a crematory, the average cost typically runs between $1,500 and $3,000. Note that these prices include the cost of the cremation as well as a basic memorial service. If a traditional service and viewing are held first before cremating the body, the cost will increase considerably, because a casket must be purchased or rented, and there will be additional charges for the funeral director’s services. In this case, a family will typically pay between $4,000 and $6,000 at a funeral home or $3,000 or $4,000 at a crematory. Families wishing to bury a loved one’s remains must pay an additional fee ranging from several hundred to several thousand dollars depending on whether a graveside service is held and whether the remains are interred in a family plot, a regular plot, or in an urn plot. As we just learned, the cost can be quite significant, regardless of whether cremation or traditional burial is chosen. As a
result, many people decide not only to pre-plan but also to pre-pay their final expenses.
