Research local options in Austin, then request help identifying a funeral or cremation provider serving the area.
Burial costs can include separate funeral-home, cemetery, merchandise, transportation, and interment charges. Lantern is rebuilding this page to help families in Austin compare those components using verifiable local information.
Verified provider, pricing, service-area, and regulatory data for Austin is being added market by market. We do not label neighborhoods or surrounding cities as served until a provider confirms coverage.
A burial total can combine funeral-home services, cemetery space, interment, an outer burial container, a casket, and a marker. Austin publishes unusually useful municipal cemetery pricing, so Lantern keeps those charges separate instead of presenting one misleading total.
City of Austin FY 2026-2027 interment fees. These are not complete burial totals.
The City currently says burial spaces are available for purchase at Austin Memorial Park and Evergreen Cemetery. Its published fee schedule lists a full-burial space at $3,600, plus a 20% cemetery maintenance surcharge and $50 deed-recording fee.
City cemetery informationThe current schedule separately lists $1,825 added on recognized holidays and $590 for less than 12 working hours' notice, along with setup charges.
Current City fee scheduleCity rules require a permanent container such as a concrete liner or burial vault for remains over 36 inches. The City schedule lists a liner charge separately. Texas otherwise leaves outer-container requirements to the individual cemetery's rules.
City cemetery rulesProfessional services, transfer, preparation or refrigeration, ceremony staffing, vehicles, casket and other merchandise can be separate from cemetery charges. Lantern is not publishing an Austin funeral-home burial range until current provider-controlled GPL coverage is broader.
Funeral home: services, transfer, preparation, ceremony or graveside staff, vehicles, casket and merchandise.
Cemetery: space, interment/opening and closing, maintenance or administrative fees, outer container, marker requirements, installation, and timing surcharges.
Austin burial research separates funeral-home charges, cemetery space, interment/opening-and-closing, outer burial container, and other merchandise. Current municipal or provider-controlled sources are preferred. Older provider GPLs and third-party survey prices are not used as current canonical funeral-home price evidence.
The Texas Department of Banking says cemetery prices are not regulated by the Department and an outer burial container is required when the selected cemetery's rules require one.
