Ohio rules that apply here
Every line links to its statute. Checked Sep 18, 2026.
- Paperwork before a cremation
- Ohio's cremation authorization form identifies the authorizing agent, the identity of the decedent, the recipient of the cremated remains, and the planned final disposition. Ohio also provides rules for unclaimed cremated remains after 60 days. statute →
- Waiting period before cremation
- Ohio has unusually detailed cremation rules. A crematory generally cannot perform a cremation until at least 24 hours have elapsed from death, the required burial or burial-transit permit has been received, the cremation authorization form has been completed, and any other required documentation is in place. 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 7 homes with a checked price list:
- Direct cremation (alternative container)

- Basket, median items

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 7 funeral homes serving Cleveland with a checked price list, direct cremation runs from $1,245 to $4,350, with a median of $2,945. The middle half of these homes charge between $2,588 and $3,535. 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 23, 2026. We list 165 funeral homes serving Cleveland, and 7 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.
