Published June 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 San Antonio. The funeral home lines are scaled by what San Antonio homes charge against the Texas median, a factor of 1.04, and the plot by local land prices.

We hold a direct cremation price for 5 of them, and the spread between the cheapest and the dearest is $1,625.

Cremation in San Antonio

Cremation with a service models out at $6,910 here, about $1,780 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 San Antonio homes themselves put the middle direct cremation at $2,295, 5 of them measured, which puts roughly $4,615 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.
