Frequently Asked Questions — Missouri Funeral Costs
What is the average cost of a funeral in Missouri?
Funeral costs in Missouri vary by city, service type, and funeral home. Use the city table above to find pricing in your area.
What is the cheapest funeral option in Missouri?
Direct cremation is consistently the least expensive funeral option in Missouri. It involves cremation shortly after death without embalming, viewing, or a formal funeral service. The ashes are returned to the family. Many families then hold a separate memorial service at a time and place of their choosing.
Are funeral prices regulated in Missouri?
The FTC Funeral Rule requires all funeral homes in the United States — including Missouri — to provide itemized price lists upon request. This means you can call any funeral home and ask for their General Price List (GPL) before committing to any services. Always get prices in writing and compare multiple funeral homes.
