Virginia rules that apply here
Every line links to its statute. Checked Sep 18, 2026.
- Who can authorize a cremation
- Virginia recognizes disputes among next of kin and provides a court process for deciding who has authority to make funeral or disposition arrangements when relatives disagree. The law also regulates what happens to unclaimed cremains. After 120 days from cremation, a funeral director may dispose of unclaimed cremains in the ways permitted by statute when the contracting agent has not claimed them or instructed the funeral director. A family disagreement does not necessarily mean the funeral home gets to choose whose wishes matter. Virginia provides a legal route for the dispute to be decided. statute →

Questions families ask
Answers use the figures on this page, not national averages.
Among 6 funeral homes serving Arlington with a checked price list, direct cremation runs from $3,290 to $4,390, with a median of $3,983. The middle half of these homes charge between $3,490 and $4,190. Each figure comes from that funeral home's own General Price List, and we checked it against that list; the oldest check was Oct 7, 2026 and the most recent was Oct 12, 2026. We list 27 funeral homes serving Arlington, and 6 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.
