New Mexico 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 instructions, New Mexico law names the legal next of kin, in order, who decide the means of disposition, including cremation: the surviving spouse, then a majority of the adult children, then the parents. For a death during military service, the person named on the Defense Department emergency data form decides instead. An adult can also authorize their own cremation in writing or in a will. statute →
- Naming a disposition agent
- An adult in New Mexico can authorize their own cremation and the disposition of the ashes with a signed written statement, or with an express statement in their will. Personal representatives, funeral homes, direct disposition businesses and crematories must follow a statement that meets these rules, and are protected when they rely on it in good faith. The section covers the person's own cremation instructions; it does not set up a general appointment of an agent to make disposition decisions. statute →

Questions families ask
Answers use the figures on this page, not national averages.
Among 9 funeral homes serving Albuquerque with a checked price list, direct cremation runs from $1,435 to $4,070, with a median of $4,049. Each figure comes from that funeral home's own General Price List, and we checked it against that list on Oct 12, 2026. We list 19 funeral homes serving Albuquerque, and 9 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.
