How much does cremation cost in Missouri?
$2,970. That is the middle figure of the 38 funeral homes in Missouri whose own posted price lists we have read for direct cremation. The least expensive of them is $810 and the most expensive is $4,835.
The price lists behind these figures are dated Nov 2, 2022 to Jul 28, 2026. We last checked them between Aug 17, 2026 and Aug 23, 2026.
Every figure is that home's own posted price with its county's fee and one certified copy of the death certificate added, wherever both are on file, rounded once. Open a home to change the county or the number of copies.
A state's median is the middle of the figures the homes in it show, so it carries the same county fees and the same one certified copy those figures carry.

We hold posted prices in 9 of Missouri's 114 counties. We are still collecting in the other 105, and a county is missing from this list because we have not read a price list there yet, not because its funeral homes charge nothing.

Least expensive first. Every figure links to the funeral home's own page, where the price list it was read from is linked in full.
Other questions about Missouri
No funeral home charges the middle figure. It is a place to start from. The home you call will quote you its own price, and the federal Funeral Rule says it has to give you its price list in writing when you sit down with it.
