■ Low ■ Average ■ High
Los Angeles funeral costs range widely — from $695 for a direct cremation at a low-cost provider to $14,500+ for a full traditional burial at a high-end funeral home. The LA market is one of the most price-competitive in the US due to the large number of independent funeral homes and cremation-only providers.
Key LA-specific factors: cemetery plot prices vary dramatically by location — a plot at Forest Lawn Glendale can cost $8,000-12,000 while a comparable plot at a municipal cemetery in the San Fernando Valley may be $1,500-3,000. California law does not require embalming, which can save $500-900 on a direct cremation or immediate burial.
