What to know about cremation in Augusta

  • Before the cremation. A Georgia cremation needs a disposition permit, which the funeral director gets from the local registrar in the county where the death happened. Source.
  • Embalming. Georgia does not require embalming for a direct cremation, according to the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division, and you cannot be charged for embalming your family did not authorize unless state law requires it. Source.
  • Death certificates. Certified copies come from the Georgia Department of Public Health, State Office of Vital Records, or a county vital records office. How to order.
  • Help paying. When someone dies in Georgia and the family is indigent and cannot pay, the county where the death occurred must provide money for a decent burial, cremation or other final disposition, or repay relatives who paid, in an amount the county sets (O.C.G.A. 36-12-5, as amended July 1, 2025).

Common questions

How do I get a death certificate in Augusta?

Certified copies come from the Georgia Department of Public Health, State Office of Vital Records, or a county vital records office.

Does a medical examiner have to approve a cremation in Georgia?

A Georgia cremation needs a disposition permit, which the funeral director gets from the local registrar in the county where the death happened.

How much does direct cremation cost in Augusta?

Direct cremation nationally runs about $1,000 to $3,600, averaging near $2,200. Prices between providers in the same city routinely differ by thousands, which is why we list each provider's own disclosed price rather than a single average.

Do I have to use a funeral home?

Not necessarily. Direct cremation providers and crematories often serve families directly, and the FTC Funeral Rule entitles you to price information and to decline packages you don't want.

Are these providers licensed?

We confirm each listed provider is currently operating with working contact details, but we do not display license status: Georgia does not publish a downloadable licensee roster, so we cannot verify it in bulk. Confirm licensure directly with the state board, or look for listings marked as claimed and verified by the provider.
