Georgia rules that apply here
Every line links to its statute. Checked Sep 18, 2026.
- Permits before disposition
- Georgia requires a disposition permit for cremation or natural organic reduction, as well as for removing a body from the state. The permit is issued through the local registrar in the circumstances described by statute, and the law specifically addresses cremation and organic human reduction. If a family is considering transporting a body out of Georgia, choosing cremation, or using a newer form of reduction, the permit process should be checked before the arrangement is scheduled. statute →

Questions families ask
Answers use the figures on this page, not national averages.
Among 19 funeral homes serving Atlanta with a checked price list, direct cremation runs from $1,805 to $4,505, with a median of $2,795. The middle half of these homes charge between $2,490 and $3,505. Each figure comes from that funeral home's own General Price List, and we checked it against that list; the oldest check was Oct 12, 2026 and the most recent was Oct 23, 2026. We list 102 funeral homes serving Atlanta, and 19 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.
