How Much Is a Funeral.

Their own posted prices, dated and sourced. Every funeral home, as we reach them.

Start here Answer the questions and we will show you the funeral homes near you.

A map of what funeral homes charge, built from their own posted price lists, with the date and the source document attached to every figure.

We do not choose who appears. A funeral home is here because it posts a price list and we have read it, and no one can pay to be included or left out. We are still reading price lists for thousands more.

Where the work stands today

We know of 37,229 funeral homes across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and we are collecting their posted price lists.

1,174 funeral homes are published so far, in 40 states. Every other state says it’s still collecting, because that’s true.

While you are here, three guides

  • How to read a funeral home's price list A line by line walkthrough of a funeral home's general price list, what you can decline, and how to build the number you'll actually pay.
  • Comparing two funeral price lists What a package really is, why the casket sits on its own list, and the method for building the same arrangement out of two different price lists so the totals actually mean something.
  • The practical questions families actually ask What happens first when someone dies, who moves the body, how long a cremation takes, whether you can witness it, and what to do when the death is out of state. Short answers, one page.

Teal figures are the lower state medians and brick red the higher ones. The color compares states with each other and says nothing about any one funeral home. Nothing else on this map is colored by price. A state with no median yet says "collecting" in place of a figure. The small quiet dots are funeral homes we know of with no price shown yet. Tap one to see what we hold for it and how to ask the home for its price list. A filled count gathers homes that have figures. A hollow count gathers homes with no price shown. The two are never added together.

How to read this map
Pick a service Switching the service switches every pin and the national coloring together.
Pick a state The map zooms to it right here, and its funeral homes appear as pins carrying the home's name and its figure.
Homes across a state line A published home within 30 miles of the line is drawn on both states' views, carrying the abbreviation of the state it's actually in.
Where a home posts nothing Where a home posts no price list, the page says so.
Colored only where we can stand behind it A state gets a color once 3 reviewed price lists in it post the service.
Ownership said carefully Family owned and corporate group chips appear only where evidence proves the classification.
More dispositions Aquamation and terramation sit behind the More dispositions chips, off until a family asks for them. They're only there where the law allows them.
Moving the map Scroll or pinch to zoom, drag to pan, or use the buttons in the corner.
The table is always one tap away The Map and Table toggle shows the same states and the same homes, with nothing gated behind the map.
