The first 60 of 64 are listed, homes with a price we could check first. Recorded from the home's own published price list in September 2026. The source publishes no date of its own. 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. Every funeral home in Tampa.

We hold a direct cremation price for 3 of them, and the spread between the cheapest and the dearest is $1,820.

Cremation in Tampa

Cremation with a service models out at $6,070 here, about $1,810 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 Tampa homes themselves put the middle direct cremation at $2,795, 3 of them measured, 1 of those under $1,000, which puts roughly $3,275 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.
