A direct cremation in Alaska costs about $1,935 on average. Prices vary widely, and transport from remote communities can add to the cost, so ask two or three funeral homes for their General Price List before you decide. Under the FTC Funeral Rule, they must give you one when you ask. See Cremation Costs in Alaska for average prices.
Alaska allows families to handle a death themselves: the person acting as the funeral director files the death certificate. A burial-transit permit from the local registrar is required within 72 hours and before a body is moved by air or other common carrier. A certified death certificate costs $30 for the first copy and $25 for each extra copy ordered together. Our Alaska funeral and cremation guide explains each step.
