Direct cremation in Tacoma, WA is listed from $595 to $2,699 at the 10 Tacoma providers on FuneralUS that publish a price. The average is $1,381 and the middle price is $1,153 (as listed in October 2026). Five of the 10 list a price under $1,000.
Phone numbers, addresses and any itemized prices are on each provider's profile.
A low listed price isn't always the full bill. Ask whether it covers picking up the body, the container, the cremation, filing the death certificate and returning the ashes, and what each certified copy of the death certificate costs.
Why do Tacoma cremation prices vary so much?
The highest listed price in Tacoma is more than four times the lowest. Listed prices don't always cover the same things, so compare like with like before you pick on price alone. If you want a viewing or a service before the cremation, ask for the General Price List and price those items one by one.
Are there cheaper options near Tacoma?
A few providers just outside the city list direct cremation under $1,100:
Every funeral home in the US has to follow the Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule. In practice that means:
Funeral directors must give you price information on the telephone if you ask for it.
The funeral home must give you a General Price List that is yours to keep, listing every item and service it offers and the cost of each.
You may choose direct cremation, which does not require any form of preservation.
No state or local law requires a casket for cremation, and a funeral home that offers cremation must tell you alternative containers are available and make them available.
