This covers direct cremation with the minimum alternative container and transport of the deceased, charged on top of the package price. It does not cover mileage beyond the distance this list includes and certified copies of the death certificate, which are priced one at a time. The county permit fee is not in this price. It is charged by the county where the death occurred, not by the county where the funeral home is, so pick that county below or ask the funeral home. Any sales tax is approximate, so ask the funeral home for the exact amount.

This list charges by the mile once the drive passes the distance its price covers. How far that is for a family is not something this figure can know, so no amount for it is in the total. The list says: "Includes necessary equipment & coordination/scheduling, placement of Deceased, staff to receive/ transport(<15-miles)/display memorabilia, stationery, &/or flowers, & to supervise/assist with the viewing at a partner facility during regular business hours. *An additional $275.00 may be added for deceased who have had an autopsy or tissue donation if any type of viewing is selected. This charge DOES NOT include any formal viewing/visitation/service/ceremony, any costs associated with the care and/or cremation of remains 300 lbs or greater, any permanent urn, alternative container, casket, or shroud that is required by our Crematory, or applicable sales tax, transportation or mileage costs ($3.95/mile > 30-mile radius). Please add $275 for transportation within a 30-mile radius on all package prices"

Sales tax is not included in this figure. It varies by location and by what is taxed, so ask the funeral home for the exact amount.

These prices do not include a casket. The casket is chosen and priced separately at the funeral home.

Read this one carefully before you choose it. An immediate burial means no viewing, no service, and nobody at the graveside. The family is not there. The wording and the price draw people in, and most families do not want what it actually is.

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

Where the death happened

This fee is charged by the county where the death occurred, not the county where the funeral home is. A family using a King County funeral home for a death that happened in Snohomish County pays the Snohomish County fee. Pick the county of death to know the amount.

In this list: in WA, Snohomish County at $15, King County and Pierce County at $100 and 6 counties with no fee on file here; in ID, 13 counties charging no fee; in OR, 13 counties at $30. 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

This home's own price list posts a certified copy of the death certificate at $25 each. This is what the record itself costs. Ask the funeral home whether it charges anything to order them for you.

One certified copy is $25.

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.

Where these figures come from

Posted July 1, 2025, checked August 13, 2026. We hold a copy of the document as it read on the day we checked it.

This is the newest price list we found on the funeral home's website as of August 13, 2026. The document itself is dated July 1, 2025.

Read this home's price list

Still unverified, and so not claimed here: how this home operates, meaning whether it runs its own crematory and its own chapel.

Price is not quality. A higher figure does not buy a better funeral. Use these numbers to ask better questions, not to rank anyone.
