California rules that apply here
Every line links to its statute. Checked Sep 18, 2026.
- Who can authorize a cremation
- California gives an adult a legally recognized right to control the disposition of their own remains, while also creating a detailed priority list for situations where the person did not leave controlling directions. That means California families should pay attention to who has the legal right to make the decision, especially when there are several surviving relatives. statute →
- Prices required online
- Every licensed funeral establishment with a website must post the goods and services from its general price list on that website, with a statement that the full list is available on request. This is why California prices can be checked without phoning anyone. statute →
- Scattering ashes
- California allows cremated remains and hydrolyzed human remains to be scattered where no local prohibition applies, but the person controlling disposition generally needs written permission from the property owner or governing agency for the property. Beginning January 1, 2027, California's statute also provides rules for integrating reduced human remains into soil where lawful. The simple rule for families is: private property can be possible, but permission matters, and public land is not automatically open for scattering. statute →

Questions families ask
Answers use the figures on this page, not national averages.
Among 7 funeral homes serving Sacramento with a checked price list, a traditional funeral and burial runs from $4,550 to $5,325, with a median of $4,745. The middle half of these homes charge between $4,745 and $5,018. 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 65 funeral homes serving Sacramento, 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: basic services of funeral director and staff; transfer of remains to funeral home; embalming; other preparation of the body; facilities and staff for viewing; facilities and staff for funeral ceremony; hearse. 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.
