Alabama rules that apply here
Every line links to its statute. Checked Sep 18, 2026.
- Time limits: embalming, refrigeration or disposition
- Alabama gives families a fairly clear rule about how quickly final disposition generally needs to occur. Human remains generally must be disposed of within 48 hours after death, or after release by a coroner or medical examiner, unless the body has been embalmed with the authorizing person's permission or is kept under refrigeration. The statute also limits public viewing of an unembalmed body after 24 hours. In other words: Alabama law focuses heavily on preservation and timing. That does not mean a family has to choose a traditional funeral; it means the body cannot simply remain untreated indefinitely. For a family choosing direct burial or direct cremation, the important question is usually not whether a full funeral is required. It is whether the remains are being kept, transported, or disposed of within Alabama's preservation and timing rules. statute →
Why these numbers are comparable
A price list is a list of line items, and no two homes itemize the same way. We rebuild the same basket at every home. Medians across the 4 homes with a checked price list:
- Direct cremation (alternative container)
- $3,555
- Basket, median items
- $3,555
Anything a home charges outside this basket is shown on its own page, not hidden in the comparison.
Questions families ask
Answers use the figures on this page, not national averages.
Among 4 funeral homes serving Mobile with a checked price list, direct cremation runs from $2,695 to $4,415, with a median of $3,555. The middle half of these homes charge between $2,695 and $4,415. Each figure comes from that funeral home's own General Price List, and we checked it against that list on Oct 11, 2026. We list 15 funeral homes serving Mobile, and 4 of them have a price list we've checked so far.
The total adds these items from each funeral home's price list: direct cremation (alternative container). Cemetery or crematory fees charged by third parties, death certificates, and merchandise such as an urn or casket are extra unless a funeral home lists them.
No. Under the federal Funeral Rule (16 CFR Part 453) you have the right to choose only the goods and services you want, and every funeral home must give you an itemized General Price List. The packages here are a comparison aid built from those itemized prices, not something the funeral home sells as a bundle.
The biggest differences are the non-declinable basic services fee, whether the funeral home has its own crematory or uses a third party, and how far it will travel to collect the deceased before a mileage charge applies. Each funeral home's page shows all of these.
