What the county fee is

For the cremation figures: This fee is charged by the county where the death occurred, not the county where the funeral home is. A family using a Miami-Dade County funeral home for a death that happened in Lee County pays the Lee County fee. Pick the county of death to know the amount.

For the burial figures: 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. 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. A county not in this list charges something too; ask that county or the funeral home.

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. Florida charges $5 for the first copy and $4 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 $5, and each one after that is $4.

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.
