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 44 of them, and the spread between the cheapest and the dearest is $2,300. That is 6.8 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 $5,930 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 $1,268, 44 of them measured, 16 of those under $1,000, which puts roughly $4,662 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 44 of the homes listed above owe you the same thing on the telephone, without being told who you are. Florida Funeral Home & Crematory at $395 and Parkside Memorial Chapels Inc. at $2,695 are the two ends of it. Working down from the $1,268 in the middle of that list is worth $873 before anyone has driven anywhere. What the law requires of Florida funeral homes sets out the rest.
Covering $16,260 in Miami
$16,260 is the number a policy here would be written for, and it is $1,200 more than the Florida average, which is the sort of thing people get wrong when they pick a round figure. It pays out in days rather than weeks, and for most people over 50 there is no medical exam.

How much does a funeral cost in Miami?
About $16,260 for a burial with a viewing once the cemetery has billed, of which $7,960 goes to the funeral home and $8,300 to the cemetery and the monument dealer. The funeral home half is the South Atlantic survey median moved by what 48 Miami homes actually publish, and the cemetery half by local land prices. They are estimates, not quotes.
Is a funeral more expensive in Miami than the rest of Florida?
Yes, by about 8%, $16,260 against $15,060, and it is mostly the land under the plot rather than the funeral home. Inside the metro the same direct cremation runs from $395 to $2,695, a wider gap than the one between Miami and Florida.
How much does cremation cost in Miami?
The middle of the 44 Miami area homes we hold a price for charges $1,268 for a direct cremation, from $395 at Florida Funeral Home & Crematory up to $2,695 at Parkside Memorial Chapels Inc.. Add a service and the model puts it near $5,930. 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.
Which funeral home is cheapest in Miami?
Florida Funeral Home & Crematory in Miami, at $395, and 15 other Miami area homes are also under $1,000. Parkside Memorial Chapels Inc. is $2,300 higher for the same service. Prices move and several of ours are years old, so treat the list as where to start ringing, worth about $520 on three calls, not as the answer.
Does every Miami funeral home charge a basic services fee?
Yes, all of them, and in Miami the published ones run $595 to $3,495 with $1,893 in the middle, across the 48 we hold. It is the charge you cannot decline whatever else you turn down, so it sets the floor under everything else on this page, and Florida Funeral Home & Crematory, cheapest here on cremation at $395, asks $795 for it.
