Fees we pass through at cost
These are set by the State of Texas or by the county, not by us. We collect them and hand them on without a markup. They are the only amounts that can appear on your statement alongside the $1,750.
| Item | Amount | Who sets it |
|---|---|---|
| Certified death certificate — first copy, issued by the State of Texas | $21 | State fee |
| Each additional certified copy | $4 | State fee |
| Cremation permit | $30 | County fee |
| Medical examiner or coroner release | Varies by county | Set by the county |
| Transfer originating beyond 50 miles of Dallas | Quoted per mile | Quoted before you agree |
Most families order between three and six certified copies. Banks, insurers, the Social Security Administration, and any titled vehicle or property transfer will each want one, and several will not return it. Ordering them up front at $4 each is cheaper and much faster than going back to the county later.
Why we publish one number
The common pattern in this industry is a low advertised figure that grows once you are committed. The transfer turns out to be extra. So does the container. So does the crematory fee, which is the one thing a cremation cannot happen without. By the time the statement arrives, the number you called about has roughly doubled.
We do not do that, and the reason is practical rather than noble: a family arranging a cremation is usually doing it within a day of a death, often on a phone in a hospital corridor. Nobody in that position should have to audit a price sheet. One number that already contains everything is simply the honest way to sell this.
In compliance with the FTC Funeral Rule (16 CFR 453), we give these prices by telephone to anyone who asks, without requiring your name, your address, or your phone number. Call (214) 550-7369 and ask for any figure on this page.
How that compares
Direct cremation across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex generally runs between $1,000 and $3,600, according to 2026 industry pricing data. Our $1,750 sits in the lower half of that range. We are not claiming to be the lowest price in Texas, and we would not know — we are telling you our number and where it falls, so you can check it against anyone else’s.
When you compare, ask each provider one question: does that figure include the transfer, the container, and the crematory fee? If any of the three is extra, you are not looking at the same product.
Our full General Price List
The FTC Funeral Rule entitles you to a General Price List covering every good and service a provider offers, not only the one you asked about. Ours is published in full, effective July 21, 2026, and prints cleanly if you want it on paper.
See the full General Price List → Or call (214) 550-7369 and we will read you any price you ask for. You do not have to give us your name to get it.
Veterans: cremation with honors
We file for the VA burial allowance — up to $2,000 for service-connected deaths, $948 otherwise — and arrange DFW National Cemetery committal, where there is no charge for the plot. Tell us your loved one served and we handle the filings.
Have life insurance?
We file directly with the carrier — most families pay nothing out of pocket today. Bring the policy number to the first call, or we can help you find it.
Questions about the price
Is $1,750 really the whole price?
It is the whole price for the cremation service itself. The only additional amounts are county and state fees, which we pass through at cost and quote to you before you owe them.
Do I have to give you my name to get a price?
No. Under the FTC Funeral Rule we give prices over the phone to anyone who asks, without requiring a name, an address, or a phone number. Call (214) 550-7369 and ask.
Why is direct cremation cheaper than a funeral?
Because it leaves out the parts that cost money: embalming, a casket, a viewing, facility time, and vehicles. What remains is transfer, refrigerated care, permits, and the cremation itself.
When do I pay?
Payment is due before the cremation, which is standard across the industry because the crematory bills us at that point. We will tell you the exact total in writing first.
What if the death happened outside DFW?
We still help. Transfers beyond 50 miles of Dallas are quoted by the mile and told to you before you commit. Nothing gets added to your bill without your agreement.
Ask us anything about the number.
You can call and ask what something costs without giving your name, without an appointment, and without anyone calling you back afterwards.
