The choices are numerous and so the total cost varies widely according to each individual’s personal wishes. For example, a cremation, with no commemorative or burial services, would still incur costs for minimal Funeral Director consultation and services, documentation (applications, permits, municipal registration and coroner’s fee), document filing, transportation of remains from the place of death, basic preparation of the remains, cremation fee, cremation urn and applicable taxes.
