Recorded from Funeral Consumers Alliance survey 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 Pittsburgh.

Funeral homes in the Pittsburgh area

The Census counts 361 death care establishments in the Pittsburgh metro, meaning funeral homes, crematories and cemeteries, employing about 1,898 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 $1,620. That is 2.5 times the price for the same service, inside one metropolitan area, which is a larger difference than the one between Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania as a whole.

Cremation in Pittsburgh

Cremation with a service models out at $7,630 here, about $2,020 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 Pittsburgh homes themselves put the middle direct cremation at $2,490, 3 of them measured, which puts roughly $5,140 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.
