How much does an immediate burial cost in Illinois?
$5,135. That is the middle figure of the 38 funeral homes in Illinois whose own posted price lists we have read for an immediate burial. The least expensive of them is $1,495 and the most expensive is $6,540.
The price lists behind these figures are dated Apr 1, 2021 to Jul 29, 2026. We last checked them between Aug 18, 2026 and Aug 26, 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.
Narrowing it down by county
The Illinois price lists we hold do not record which county each home is in yet, so this page cannot narrow by county. Every one of them is placed at its own address on the state map instead.

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 Illinois
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.
