* "Cash Advance" items are not included in our $795.00 basic direct cremation fee. Cash advances are third party charges, we do not profit on their sale, and their amount does not vary among New York funeral homes. Typical cash advance items that are associated with a direct cremation service include: crematory fees (for the actual cremation - $411.00); NYC disposition permit ($40.00); NYC EDRS credit card convenience fee ($5.55); gratuities (20.00); and certified copies of the certificate of death ($15.00 per copy in New York City, $10.00 elsewhere throughout New York state).
** A death that occurs in a private residence or in certain nursing homes/adult residences will incur an additional charge of $150.00 for extra personnel we will need to facilitate the transfer procedure. Also, if a death occurs further than 10 miles from our establishment, there will be a slight additional transportation fee that is based on mileage. We will always provide an exact price quotation prior to providing any service to you and your family. Simply call (877) 274-5152 at any time for additional information.
For your information, the "average" direct cremation arranged by our firm costs $1,364.55.
