County and state fees

These are set by the county and the state. They are not ours. We collect them, pay them on your behalf and itemize them on your statement. Which county applies is decided by where the death happened, not where the person lived.

Simple cremation does not include embalming, viewing, a memorial service or burial. A few further services are itemized on our General Price List. We provide them when a family asks and where circumstances allow, which is why they are listed there rather than offered here.

Every figure here is taken from our General Price List, effective August 27, 2026. Read it in full or download the PDF.

About these figures, and about what is not in them. Every price above is that provider’s own published direct cremation charge plus their least expensive cremation container, which is what a family who does not supply their own container actually pays. Figures are read from General Price Lists, not from advertising or directory listings, and we recheck them. Where an advertised price differs from the filed price list, we show the filed price. None of these figures include certified death certificates, county filing fees or medical examiner fees, which every provider bills separately and which our quote tool above itemizes by county.

This table shows funeral homes, and it is not the whole market. A funeral home has premises, staff and a chapel. Alongside them, both metros have cremation-only providers and discounters working from offices and suites, and several publish below us: figures from $695 upward appear on price lists in Tacoma, Puyallup, Bothell, Federal Way, Bellevue and Hillsboro.

What if my loved one weighs over 300 pounds?

We can accommodate individuals up to 400 pounds for an additional fee. Please contact us so we can review the specifics.

Do you accept credit cards?

Do I need to pay before transportation?
