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: "TRANSPORTATION All transportation charges contained within this list apply to an area described as the counties of Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Hamilton, Walker and Whitfield or within a 25 mile radius to our nearest facility. If we exceed this service area; in addition to the basic vehicle charge which covers 50 miles traveled from our facility, there will be an additional charge of $2.25 per mile. If an overnight stay is required due to the round-trip exceeding 400 miles or due to no fault of ours, our driver and vehicle cannot safely return the same day, there will be an additional charge of $220.00 (for overtime, hotel and meal expenses) in addition to the basic mileage charges."

These figures are assembled from this home's own posted price list, and each one is rounded up to the next $5. Treat them as a way to compare homes, not as a quote. Only the funeral home can quote you.
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 burial figures: In this list: in FL, 8 counties charging no fee; in NC, 100 counties with no fee on file here; in SC, 46 counties with no fee on file here; 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 own price list posts a certified copy of the death certificate at $15 each. 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.
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.
