Direct cremation for $1,095 for families in Inverness and across Citrus County. One call brings your loved one into our care, and the written price comes before anything else.
Inverness is a city in Citrus County, home to about 7,887 people by the Census Bureau's 2024 estimate. It is the county seat. It is about 163 miles from our Fort Myers office in a straight line, and transport comes to Inverness wherever the death occurs.
Citrus County is retirement country on the Nature Coast, and a large share of its residents kept family and a cemetery plot in another state. Cremation is frequently the answer to that: the cremated remains travel back north with a family member far more easily and far more cheaply than a casket would, and we provide the scannable container and the certified paperwork that makes the journey uncomplicated.

The same service fee as everywhere else we serve: transport into our care from anywhere in Inverness, refrigeration, every permit and filing, the cremation, a temporary container with your loved one's name, and the cremated remains brought back to you in person. Death certificate copies, the container Florida law requires, and any District 5 medical examiner fee are listed separately on your written price.
Florida law does not allow a cremation until a medical examiner has authorized it. For a death in Inverness, that is the District 5 Medical Examiner, which covers Citrus County. The same district also covers Hernando, Lake, Marion and Sumter counties. We request the authorization as soon as the death certificate is filed, and that step, not the cremation itself, usually sets the timeline.
Some Florida medical examiner districts charge a fee to authorize a cremation and others do not. Inverness is in District 5. If the district charges one, it is passed through to you at exactly the amount charged, and we confirm it on your written price before you authorize anything.
Certified copies are issued by the Florida Department of Health, through its office in Citrus County. We order them for you when the death certificate is filed, at the state rate with nothing added, so nobody in the family has to visit an office.
Most cremations take place within three to seven days of the first call. Florida requires a waiting period, and the District 5 Medical Examiner must authorize the cremation, so the timing depends mostly on how quickly the death certificate is signed and authorized.
A licensed funeral director will call you back. For an immediate need, calling is faster and someone will answer.
