Direct cremation for $1,095 for families in Sebastian and across Indian River County. One call brings your loved one into our care, and the written price comes before anything else.
Sebastian is a city in Indian River County, home to about 27,087 people by the Census Bureau's 2024 estimate. The county seat is Vero Beach. It is about 121 miles from our Fort Myers office in a straight line, and transport comes to Sebastian wherever the death occurs.
Indian River County holds the seasonal wealth of Vero Beach’s barrier island and the farming community of Fellsmere within a half-hour of each other. It is a useful reminder that a published price serves everybody: the family in Fellsmere is not quoted differently from the family on the island, and neither has to negotiate to find out what a cremation costs.

The same service fee as everywhere else we serve: transport into our care from anywhere in Sebastian, 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 19 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 Sebastian, that is the District 19 Medical Examiner, which covers Indian River County. The same district also covers Martin, Okeechobee and St. Lucie counties. 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. Sebastian is in District 19. 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 Indian River 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 19 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.
