Direct cremation for $1,095 for families in Plant City and across Hillsborough County. One call brings your loved one into our care, and the written price comes before anything else.
Plant City is a city in Hillsborough County, home to about 43,046 people by the Census Bureau's 2024 estimate. The county seat is Tampa. It is about 105 miles from our Fort Myers office in a straight line, and transport comes to Plant City wherever the death occurs.
Population: U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2024 estimates.
The same service fee as everywhere else we serve: transport into our care from anywhere in Plant City, refrigeration, every permit and filing, the cremation, a temporary container with your loved one's name, and the cremated remains brought back to you in person. Death certificate copies, the container Florida law requires, and any District 13 medical examiner fee are listed separately on your written price.
Florida law does not allow a cremation until a medical examiner has authorized it. For a death in Plant City, that is the District 13 Medical Examiner, which covers Hillsborough County. The district covers Hillsborough County alone. We request the authorization as soon as the death certificate is filed, and that step, not the cremation itself, usually sets the timeline.
Some Florida medical examiner districts charge a fee to authorize a cremation and others do not. Plant City is in District 13. If the district charges one, it is passed through to you at exactly the amount charged, and we confirm it on your written price before you authorize anything.
Certified copies are issued by the Florida Department of Health, through its office in Hillsborough County. We order them for you when the death certificate is filed, at the state rate with nothing added, so nobody in the family has to visit an office.
Most cremations take place within three to seven days of the first call. Florida requires a waiting period, and the District 13 Medical Examiner must authorize the cremation, so the timing depends mostly on how quickly the death certificate is signed and authorized.
A licensed funeral director will call you back. For an immediate need, calling is faster and someone will answer.
