Understanding Cremation Cost in Austin
Few people are prepared to handle the death of a loved one without having to deal with the frustration of deciphering all of the related expenses. Funeral homes are notorious for having less than transparent pricing, low-ball estimates and adding on unexpected fees.
Green Cremation Texas is helping clear up the confusion by making burial and direct cremation prices in Austin more transparent.
What Are the Average Funeral Costs in Austin?
Like cost-of-living, Austin funeral costs have increased significantly in recent years. The average cost of a funeral without factoring in the cost of a plot, burial fees and headstone is slightly above the national average of $7,300. With all of the costs included a traditional burial in Austin can easily exceed $10,000.
How Much is Cremation in Austin?
The average cost of cremation in Austin is less than a traditional burial, but if you opt for services at the funeral home it can be expensive. Austin cremation services are generally between $4,000-$6,500 with a formal viewing and memorial at the funeral home.
Cost of Direct Cremation in Austin
Cheap cremation in Austin is possible when you choose a no service option. This option is known as direct cremation. The cost of cremation without service in Austin is closer to just $1,000-$2,200.

Austin Cremation Only Services — Higher Quality, Lower Impact
People in Austin definitely like to do things their own way, even if it’s considered “weird”. It’s a mindset that has defined the city for decades. Austin is also a city that’s known as a leader in living green from the building codes to end of life services.
Austinites are heavily invested in protecting the local environment, and we understand why. Natural beauty abounds with the Hill Country in the west, the Colorado River winding through downtown, three pristine lakes and miles of hike and bike trail to explore. Those who were dedicated to environmental causes in life would naturally prefer green end of life services that preserve Austin’s beauty.
