Funeral homes in the Jacksonville area
The Census counts 72 death care establishments in the Jacksonville metro, meaning funeral homes, crematories and cemeteries, employing about 584 people (2023 County Business Patterns). We hold a direct cremation price for 36 of them, and the spread between the cheapest and the dearest is $2,165. That is 3.8 times the price for the same service, inside one metropolitan area, which is a larger difference than the one between Jacksonville and Florida as a whole.
Cremation in Jacksonville
Cremation with a service models out at $6,070 here, about $1,820 less than a burial at the funeral home because there is no casket, plot, vault or headstone to buy. Strip the service out and the Jacksonville homes themselves put the middle direct cremation at $1,698, 36 of them measured, 7 of those under $1,000, which puts roughly $4,372 on the ceremony, the viewing and the staff time around it. For a family choosing on price alone that gap is the whole decision, and it is a bigger number than anything the metro comparison above turns on.

Covering $15,030 in Jacksonville

How much does a funeral cost in Jacksonville?
About $15,030 for a burial with a viewing once the cemetery has billed, of which $7,890 goes to the funeral home and $7,140 to the cemetery and the monument dealer. The funeral home half is the South Atlantic survey median moved by what 37 Jacksonville homes actually publish, and the cemetery half by local land prices. They are estimates, not quotes.
Is a funeral more expensive in Jacksonville than the rest of Florida?
Not on these figures. Jacksonville lands within a percent of the Florida average of $15,060, and the $2,165 between the cheapest and dearest home inside the metro is the difference that actually decides the bill.

The middle of the 36 Jacksonville area homes we hold a price for charges $1,698 for a direct cremation, from $775 at Buggs Bellamy Funeral Services up to $2,940 at Sci Funeral Services of Florida LLC. Add a service and the model puts it near $6,070. Every price here is one we hold rather than a quote, several are years old, and each carries its own date on that home's page.

Does every Jacksonville funeral home charge a basic services fee?
Yes, all of them, and in Jacksonville the published ones run $675 to $3,195 with $1,995 in the middle, across the 37 we hold.
