What the county fee is

This fee is charged by the county where the death occurred, not the county where the funeral home is. The amount for this state is not on file here, so ask the funeral home.

For the cremation figures: In this list: in FL, Volusia County at $50, Lee County and Miami-Dade County at $75, Manatee County and Sarasota County at $35, Orange County and Osceola County at $60 and DeSoto County charging no fee; in TN, 95 counties with no fee on file here. A county not in this list charges something too; ask that county or the funeral home.

For the burial figures: In this list: in FL, 8 counties charging no fee; in TN, 95 counties with no fee on file here. A county not in this list charges something too; ask that county or the funeral home.

The counties of the states this one touches are in the list too, each one labeled with its state, because a death does not stop at a state line.

Certified copies of the death certificate

One certified copy of the death certificate is included in every figure on this page.

This home's list does not post a price for a certified copy of the death certificate. Alabama charges $15 for the first copy and $6 for each one after it, so those are the figures below. This is what the record itself costs. Ask the funeral home whether it charges anything to order them for you.

How many certified copies do you need?

Most families need more than one. Raising the count raises every figure on this page.

One certified copy is $15, and each one after that is $6.

Nobody can tell you how many you will need. Banks, insurers, and pension offices each tend to want their own, so families commonly order several. Set the count and the line says what that comes to.

Tax is always approximate. Ask the funeral home for the exact amount.
