New Jersey rules that apply here
Every line links to its statute. Checked Sep 18, 2026.
- Who can authorize a cremation
- New Jersey has a detailed statutory system for who controls funeral and disposition decisions. The law provides for a person appointed by the decedent and then a priority system involving the surviving spouse or qualifying partner, adult children, parents, siblings, and other relatives. In New Jersey, simply being the executor of a will does not automatically mean you control the funeral or burial/cremation decision. The right depends on the statutory control rules and the way authority was designated. statute →

Questions families ask
Answers use the figures on this page, not national averages.
Among 4 funeral homes serving Trenton with a checked price list, direct cremation runs from $1,995 to $3,200, with a median of $2,365. The middle half of these homes charge between $2,250 and $2,596. Each figure comes from that funeral home's own General Price List, and we checked it against that list; the oldest check was Sep 19, 2026 and the most recent was Oct 12, 2026. We list 33 funeral homes serving Trenton, 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.
