US Funerals Online lists more than 270 funeral homes and cremation providers in Colorado, from Denver and Colorado Springs to Aurora, Fort Collins, Lakewood and Thornton. Choose your town below to see the providers near you. Funeral homes and crematories are overseen by the state Office of Funeral and Mortuary Science Services (DORA), and from 2027 funeral directors, embalmers and cremationists must also hold individual licenses.
A direct cremation in Colorado costs about $1,730 on average, and all-inclusive packages start from $995 in Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Fort Collins. Under the FTC Funeral Rule, every funeral home must give you an itemized price list when you ask. See Cremation Costs in Colorado for prices by city.
Colorado does not require families to use a funeral director. There is no fixed waiting period, but a cremation cannot take place until the county coroner has approved the disposition. Since January 2026, a death certificate costs $25 for the first copy and $20 for each extra copy. Colorado has no state funeral assistance; ask your county department of human services about help if no one can pay. Our Colorado Funeral Guide walks you through each step, and our Colorado death doula directory lists local end-of-life support.
