Washington rules that apply here
Every line links to its statute. Checked Sep 18, 2026.
- Alkaline hydrolysis (aquamation)
- Washington's disposition statutes expressly reference interment, cremation, alkaline hydrolysis, and natural organic reduction. That matters because newer forms of disposition are not simply treated as an informal alternative to cremation; they are regulated methods of final disposition. statute →
- Naming a disposition agent
- Washington gives a person the right to control the disposition of their own remains and recognizes a properly signed written document as legal authorization for the disposition instructions it contains. If there is no effective prearrangement or direction, Washington then provides a statutory priority order for who controls disposition. statute →
- Human composting (natural organic reduction)
- Washington's disposition statutes expressly reference interment, cremation, alkaline hydrolysis, and natural organic reduction. That matters because newer forms of disposition are not simply treated as an informal alternative to cremation; they are regulated methods of final disposition. statute →

Questions families ask
Answers use the figures on this page, not national averages.
Among 4 funeral homes serving Olympia with a checked price list, a traditional funeral and burial runs from $3,855 to $5,025, with a median of $4,440. The middle half of these homes charge between $3,855 and $5,025. 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 17 funeral homes serving Olympia, 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: 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.
