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: "Transfer of Remains to Funeral Home/Airport * (Within 20-mile radius, Additional miles add $1.25/Per Mile)"
12 of the 12 lines this package names carry no amount on this list. They are shown by name, in the home's own words, and no amount is invented for them.
This list posts no per-copy charge for a certified copy of the death certificate, and no verified fee has been recorded for this place, so no amount is shown beside the figure. Ask the funeral home, or the county registrar, what one copy costs.

These figures are ballparks for comparing homes, not quotes.
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. A family using a Adams County funeral home for a death that happened in Alexander County pays the Alexander County fee. Pick the county of death to know the amount.
In this list: in IL, Cook County at $150 and 101 counties at $100; in IN, Allen County, Tippecanoe County and Vanderburgh County with no fee on file here; in MO, 12 counties charging no fee. 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 price list does not show a price for a certified copy of the death certificate, and we have no verified government fee for this place, so please ask the funeral home or the registrar in the county where the death happened what one copy costs.
Tax is always approximate. Ask the funeral home for the exact amount.
