Read the whole sentence
This covers direct cremation with the minimum alternative container and transfer of the deceased into the funeral home’s care. It does not cover 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.
The transfer of the deceased into this home’s care is part of a direct cremation, and this list does not say it is charged on top of the posted price, so nothing is added for it here.
Cremation with a service
This home's price list posts no price for this one. We are not going to guess a number, so ask them directly.
This home prices no embalming anywhere on its list, so it does not offer a traditional service with the body present, and no figure for one is built here. Whatever this home does offer for a service is shown under the name the home gives it.

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.

The total moves with the casket selection. This figure carries no casket.
Nothing this list prices could be read into this figure, so it carries no total. The government fees that would have ridden inside it are shown beside it instead, because a fee on its own is not a price for this service.

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. The amount for this state is not on file here, so ask the funeral home.
In this list: in MO, 12 counties charging no fee; in IL, Cook County at $150 and 101 counties at $100. 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 list does not post a price for a certified copy of the death certificate. Missouri charges $14 for the first copy and $11 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.
One certified copy is $14, and each one after that is $11.
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
checked August 23, 2026. We hold a copy of the document as it read on the day we checked it.
Still unverified, and so not claimed here: who owns this home; 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.
