West Virginia rules that apply here
Every line links to its statute. Checked Sep 18, 2026.
- Paperwork before a cremation
- West Virginia requires authorization before final disposition. When the body is to be cremated, a separate cremation authorization must be obtained from the appropriate medical examiner, county medical examiner, or county coroner. The state's ordinary final-disposition authorization and its cremation-specific medical authorization work together. A funeral home may therefore need more paperwork for cremation than for another form of disposition. statute →

Questions families ask
Answers use the figures on this page, not national averages.
Among 4 funeral homes serving Parkersburg with a checked price list, direct cremation runs from $2,690 to $3,545, with a median of $3,380. The middle half of these homes charge between $3,208 and $3,421. Each figure comes from that funeral home's own General Price List, and we checked it against that list; the oldest check was Oct 12, 2026 and the most recent was Oct 23, 2026. We list 8 funeral homes serving Parkersburg, 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.
