What a Funeral Costs, State by State: 72 Itemized Price Lists

Data study · 2026-10-23

Funeral with viewing and ceremony, median funeral home price
$6,282
Low $3,015High $13,035Homes 72

A traditional funeral costs $6,282 at the middle funeral home in our count of 72 posted price lists in 7 states, before the casket. That is the seven lines almost every family buys: the director's basic fee, bringing the body in, embalming, dressing, a viewing, the ceremony and the hearse. The cheapest casket on a list runs a median $1,195 (58 lists print it) and the cheapest vault $1,495, so the middle home's whole bill lands near $8,972.

The cheapest bill we added up was $3,015 at Casillas Funeral Home in Cathedral City, CA9 (its list is dated 2024-10-01). The most expensive was $13,035 at Memorial Oaks Funeral Home in Houston, TX72. Same seven lines, $10,020 apart.

The short answer

$6,282Median funeral home bill, 7 lines, no casket
$2,472Median basic services fee, the one line you cannot turn down
$2,995Median immediate burial, no viewing or ceremony

The funeral directors' trade group put the national median for a funeral with a casket and burial at $8,300 in 20232. Run that through the federal funeral price index and it is about $9,080 today3. Our count lands close: the $6,282 service bill plus the cheapest $1,195 casket and $1,495 vault is $8,972. What neither number includes is the cemetery: the plot, opening and closing the grave, and the headstone are sold by the cemetery, not on the funeral home's list.

Funeral cost by state

Every funeral home has to give you an itemized General Price List, and has to quote prices over the phone1. We read each home's list and added up the same seven lines. We publish a state once we have at least 8 full-service homes.

On a phone the embalming and immediate burial columns are hidden; the line-item table and the calculator below have them. "Funeral, 7 lines" is the median of each home's basic fee, transfer, embalming, dressing, viewing, ceremony and hearse added together. Immediate burial is each home's lowest price for a burial with no viewing or ceremony, usually with a casket you supply. "Dignity" counts homes owned by Dignity Memorial (SCI), the largest chain, which posts every home's list online. Every Texas home we read but one is a Dignity home, so the Texas median reads high.

Each dot is one funeral home: its basic fee, transfer, embalming, dressing, viewing, ceremony and hearse, added up from its own price list. The red mark is the state median.

Where the money goes

The basic services fee is the biggest line on almost every list, and the one you cannot decline1. Everything else you can strike off.

The median price of each line across 79 full-service price lists. The medians add up to $6,052; that is before the casket, the vault and anything the cemetery charges.

Lowest listed option for each line. A few homes price viewing by the hour; we took the price as printed. "Lists" is how many of the 79 homes print that line.

Price a funeral at a real home

Pick your state's median or any one of the 79 homes, then untick what you do not want. No viewing? Untick embalming and viewing too: you do not need embalming without one1.

Worked example: Riverside County, California

Forest Lawn's Cathedral City location in the Coachella Valley prints its casket and vault lists in the same document10, so we can price a whole funeral there from one file:

Basic services of the funeral director and staff$1,900
Bringing the body to the funeral home$600
Embalming$875
Dressing, cosmetics and casketing$500
Viewing or visitation$425
Funeral ceremony at the funeral home$1,100
Hearse to the cemetery$325
Funeral home services$5,725
Cheapest casket on its casket list$700
Cheapest outer burial container$1,250
Bought line by line$7,675
Its "Basic Funeral Service" package (includes the minimum casket, not the vault)$5,925

The package is $500 cheaper than buying the same services plus the minimum casket line by line. That is the general rule worth knowing: ask for the itemized total and the package price, and compare. You are never required to take a package1.

The chain premium

Dignity Memorial homes run a median $7,885 for the seven lines, against $5,835 at the independents and smaller groups we read. The highest basic fee we found was $7,640 at Memorial Oaks Funeral Home in Houston, Texas72, before a single other item. Our cremation study found the same split5.

States we have started but not published yet, with full-service homes read so far: Arizona (3), Florida (2), Illinois (4). We will add a state when it reaches 8 homes.

How we got these numbers

We read each home's General Price List on its own website or its chain's site in October 2026: the same lists as our cremation study5, re-read for every funeral line. For each line we took the lowest full-service option the list prints. We left out cremation-only providers (they price no embalming, viewing or ceremony), lists dated before 2024, and lists we could not open. 3 of the lists we used are dated 2024. We did not use price comparison sites or advertised "starting at" prices. Cemetery charges, death certificates, flowers, obituaries and clergy are billed separately and are not in these totals.
