Direct cremation in Irving — $1,750
Irving transfers route across on LBJ Freeway from our north Dallas office — one of the shorter runs we make. For most of the city a team is with you inside the hour.
From an Irving hospital
The major receiving hospitals include Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Irving and Medical City Las Colinas. Both hold a decedent in the morgue until a named provider comes, and there is no urgency from their side.
Tell the nurse or decedent affairs office that you have chosen us and give them our number. We handle the release directly so you are not moving paperwork between desks.
The Dallas County paperwork
Irving is in Dallas County. The death certificate must be signed by the attending physician, hospice medical director, or medical examiner and filed with Texas Vital Statistics before the county issues the cremation permit. The state 48-hour wait applies.
An unattended death is referred to the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences, the Dallas County medical examiner on Redbird Lane. They decide whether an autopsy is needed and release your loved one when finished. Certified copies cost $21 for the first and $4 for each additional, at cost.
Across the city
We transfer from every part of Irving — Las Colinas and the Urban Center, Valley Ranch to the north, south Irving, and the neighborhoods near DFW Airport. Being in north Dallas puts us a straight shot away on LBJ, but the $1,750 is identical wherever in Irving you are.
How long it takes, and what Dallas County decides
The price does not change from one city to the next — direct cremation is $1,750 whether the transfer starts in Irving or on our own street. What does change is the county. Dallas County runs its own death-certificate counter and its own permit process, and it is the county that decides whether a death goes to a medical examiner or to a justice of the peace. That single fact is what moves a cremation timeline by days.
Everything else is fixed by state law rather than by us or by Dallas County. Texas forbids a cremation earlier than 48 hours after death unless the wait is waived, and nothing can begin until the person with the legal right to control disposition has signed. Most families here see ashes returned within one to two weeks of the first call.
The same price, the whole metroplex
Irving sits inside the five counties we cover within 50 miles of Dallas. The transfer is included wherever you are inside it. See what the $1,750 includes, the full service area, or how to reach us.
