Understanding Funeral Costs in Colorado Springs

Below is a plain-English breakdown of every line item you'll see on a funeral home's General Price List (GPL) — required by the FTC Funeral Rule to be provided on request.

Basic Services Fee — avg $1,414 in Colorado Springs

The funeral home's non-declinable charge, required for every funeral regardless of services chosen. Covers the funeral director's expertise, 24/7 availability, coordination with cemeteries and crematories, and facility overhead. You cannot opt out of this fee.

Direct Cremation — avg $1,521 in Colorado Springs

The most affordable option. The body is cremated shortly after death with no embalming, no viewing, and no formal service. The ashes are returned to the family in a basic container. Families often hold a separate memorial service later at a location of their choice. In Colorado Springs, prices start as low as $795.

Traditional Burial

The most comprehensive option — includes embalming, viewing or visitation, a formal funeral service, and burial in a casket. Does not include the cemetery plot, grave opening/closing fees, or the headstone, which are billed separately by the cemetery.

Embalming — typically $500–$900

The preservation of remains to slow decomposition. Required for open-casket viewings and for remains transported across state lines. Not required by law if you choose direct cremation or immediate burial without viewing. Funeral homes cannot require embalming without a valid reason.

Viewing / Visitation — typically $400–$600

Use of the funeral home's facilities and staff for an open-casket viewing before the service. Separate from the funeral ceremony fee. Families can choose a viewing without a formal service, or skip it entirely with a memorial-only service.

Transfer / Removal — typically $300–$500

The fee to transport the deceased from the place of death (hospital, home, nursing facility) to the funeral home. Usually covers a local radius; additional mileage fees apply for transfers outside the area.

Funeral Ceremony — typically $400–$600

Use of the funeral home's chapel or ceremony room for the service itself, plus staff coordination. You can hold the service at a church, cemetery, or other venue to avoid this fee.

What's NOT included in funeral home prices

Cemetery plot or mausoleum niche, grave opening and closing fees, death certificates (typically $10–$25 each; you'll need 5–10 copies), clergy or officiant honorarium, flowers, obituary placement, and the headstone or grave marker — all are billed separately.

Your rights under the FTC Funeral Rule: Every funeral home in Colorado must give you an itemized General Price List upon request — in person, over the phone, or by mail. You cannot be required to buy a package; you may select individual services. Always get prices in writing before agreeing to anything.
