South Carolina does not require families to use a funeral director. There is a 24-hour wait after a death before cremation, and a death certificate costs $12 for the first copy and $3 for each extra copy. Water cremation (aquamation) is also legal in the state. There is no state funeral assistance program, but some counties help with basic cremation costs. Our South Carolina Funeral Guide walks you through each step.
