Mississippi rules that apply here
Every line links to its statute. Checked Oct 7, 2026.
- Who can authorize a cremation
- The person with the legal right to decide is not automatically the person who happens to be arranging the funeral. When the person who died left no written authorization, Mississippi law lists who may authorize cremation or another lawful disposition, in order, starting with a military DD Form 93 designee for deaths in service, then the surviving spouse, then an adult child. A Mississippi resident can also direct their own disposition in a Self-Directed Disposition Authorization document, which overrides the wishes of next of kin. Anyone who does not act within five days of the death is treated as having waived the right, and a person a court has finally found at fault for the death is barred. statute →
- Naming a disposition agent
- Mississippi law says residents have the right to direct their own disposition without interference from others, using a Self-Directed Disposition Authorization document that overrides the wishes of next of kin. The statute also recognizes a representative acting under the person's signed authorization, but places that representative after the spouse, children, grandchildren, parents and siblings in the priority list. The statute does not spell out witness or notary requirements for the document. statute →

Questions families ask
Answers use the figures on this page, not national averages.
Among 3 funeral homes serving Jackson with a checked price list, direct cremation runs from $2,440 to $2,995, with a median of $2,995. Each figure comes from that funeral home's own General Price List, and we checked it against that list on Oct 23, 2026. We list 31 funeral homes serving Jackson, and 3 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.
