Certified copies come from the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), Vital Statistics Section, in Austin, or from a local registrar or county clerk.

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

Before cremating, a Texas crematory must have a signed cremation authorization form and a death certificate or other death record showing the body may be cremated.

How much does direct cremation cost in Midland?

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: Texas 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.
