Direct cremation for $1,095 for families in West Palm Beach and across Palm Beach County. One call brings your loved one into our care, and the written price comes before anything else.
West Palm Beach is a city in Palm Beach County, home to about 127,744 people by the Census Bureau's 2024 estimate. It is the county seat. It is about 107 miles from our Fort Myers office in a straight line, and transport comes to West Palm Beach wherever the death occurs.
Palm Beach County holds one of the largest Haitian communities in the United States, centered on Delray Beach and Lake Worth, alongside Jamaican and Guatemalan populations and a substantial seasonal Canadian one. It is a county of very different means, and the thing that serves all of it equally is that our price is published rather than assessed from how a family sounds on the telephone.

The same service fee as everywhere else we serve: transport into our care from anywhere in West Palm Beach, 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 15 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 West Palm Beach, that is the District 15 Medical Examiner, which covers Palm Beach County. The district covers Palm Beach 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. West Palm Beach is in District 15. 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 Palm Beach 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 15 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.
