What the county fee is

Lewis County is the county this funeral home is in, so that is where the figures start. The permit fee belongs to the county where the death happened. If that was a different county, pick it and every figure on this page moves with it.

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

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. Washington charges $25 for one, so that is the figure 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 $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.

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