One price, seven counties, no exceptions
$1,194
It is the same figure in Seattle and in Portland, at two in the morning as at two in the afternoon. There is no weekend rate and no after-hours rate. Our price list itemizes these same components at $2,085.00 if you buy them one at a time.
Everything in the $1,194
What it comes to where you are
Every county charges its own filing and examiner fees. They are not ours; we collect them, pay them across and itemize them on your statement. The county is set by where the death happened, not by where the person lived.
State $10.80
Nothing at county level
State $10.80
State $10.80
County $15.00, state $10.80
Certified copies of the death certificate are $30.00 each. Beyond that, only three things can move the figure: a pacemaker, a weight above 300 pounds, and how you would like the ashes returned. All three are priced in full on our pricing page.
Every figure here comes from our General Price List, effective August 27, 2026. Read it in full or download the PDF.
