How much does cremation cost in North Dakota?
$2,778. That is the median of the figures posted by the 4 funeral homes in North Dakota whose price lists we have read for direct cremation. The least expensive of them is $1,445 and the most expensive is $5,010.
That median is drawn from only 4 price lists, so read it as a marker of the range rather than a going rate. Every one of the figures behind it is a real posted price, and there are not yet enough of them for the middle to settle.
The price lists behind these figures are dated Apr 15, 2025 to Apr 15, 2026. We last checked them between Aug 17, 2026 and Sep 1, 2026.
Every figure is that home's own posted price with its county's permit 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.
What this includes
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.

Other questions about North Dakota
No funeral home charges the median. It's where to start, not what you'll pay. The home you call will quote its own price, and the Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule requires it to give you a price list you can keep when you sit down with it.
