How much does a funeral cost in Miami, FL?

What Miami funeral homes actually charge

Everything below this section is modelled from national survey data. This section is not. These are 3 funeral homes trading across 3 towns in the Miami area with a direct cremation price we hold. The middle one charges $1,750. Tillman Funeral Home in West Palm Beach is recorded from $1,670, Aaron's Low Cost Cremation & Funeral LLC in Fort Lauderdale from $2,500, which is 1.5 times the price for the same service inside one metropolitan area.

Of the 3, 2 sit between $1,000 and $1,999, and 1 between $2,000 and $2,999. Every one of them publishes a basic services fee as well, the charge you cannot decline whatever else you turn down. Ring three at random rather than one and you would expect to pay $300 less than the $1,973 average.

The first 60 of 80 are listed, homes with a price we could check first. Published January 1, 2026 by the home's own published price list. Prices for other homes on this list carry their own dates, shown on each home's page. They are the figures we hold rather than quotes, several are years old, and no funeral home is bound by them. Where a row says Their prices, the only figure we hold comes from a directory we could not check against the home's own list, so the link goes to the home instead.

The calculator is set to Miami. The funeral home lines are scaled by what Miami homes charge against the Florida median, a factor of 1.03, and the plot by local land prices.

What makes up the $16,220 in Miami

Basic services fees published by Miami homes, set against those across Florida, give the funeral home lines a factor of 1.03, that ratio pulled toward the state by how many homes stand behind it. The plot is the exception, scaled by land prices, Miami at 155.6 against 122.1 for Florida (2024 BEA parities). The full working is on the Florida page.

Funeral homes in the Miami area

The Census counts 198 death care establishments in the Miami metro, meaning funeral homes, crematories and cemeteries, employing about 2,357 people (2023 County Business Patterns). We hold a direct cremation price for 3 of them, and the spread between the cheapest and the dearest is $830. That is 1.5 times the price for the same service, inside one metropolitan area, which is a larger difference than the one between Miami and Florida as a whole.

Cremation in Miami

Cremation with a service models out at $5,910 here, about $2,030 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 Miami homes themselves put the middle direct cremation at $1,750, 3 of them measured, which puts roughly $4,160 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.

Your rights when you ring a Miami funeral home

All 3 of the homes listed above owe you the same thing on the telephone, without being told who you are. Tillman Funeral Home from $1,670 and Aaron's Low Cost Cremation & Funeral LLC from $2,500 are the two ends of it. Working down from the $1,750 in the middle of that list is worth $80 before anyone has driven anywhere. What the law requires of Florida funeral homes sets out the rest.
