Glendale cremation costs
Typical cremation cost ranges for Glendale ZIP 91201 and a Cemetery and Funeral Bureau–checked funeral establishment. Estimates, not quotes.
Cremation by ZIP is not a funeral home, crematory, or cemetery. We do not cremate, bury, or arrange services.
Quick summary
ZIP 91201 is Glendale, California, on the Los Angeles–metro estimate band — not Abbott & Hast Mortuary’s General Price List. Glendale is an independent city in Los Angeles County at the south end of the Verdugo Mountains. We publish one Cemetery and Funeral Bureau–checked funeral establishment on West Kenneth Road. A high California cremation share does not set a Glendale package.

Typical costs for ZIP 91201
These figures are a Glendale, California metro typical range. They start from the NFDA 2023 member General Price List study national medians, then a documented ZIP multiplier. The dollar ranges on this site are typical local estimates for education. They are not a quote from a specific firm and not a contract.
| Package | Low | Typical midpoint | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct cremation | $2,575 | $3,450 | $4,650 |
| Cremation with a memorial (body not present) | $3,125 | $5,325 | $7,500 |
| Funeral with viewing, then cremation | $5,900 | $7,850 | $10,600 |
This ZIP’s typical midpoint is about $700 above the U.S. NFDA 2023 median of $2,750. Typical burial in this area costs about $6,925 more. Cemetery plot and vault are often extra.
Ask the licensed provider for an itemized General Price List before you buy. Under the FTC Funeral Rule, you have a right to that list. Read the full consumer-rights explainer on the General Price List guide. Package definitions stay on the direct cremation and cremation vs. burial guides — this page does not reprint them.
Local planning in Glendale
Glendale sits against the Verdugos, north of downtown Los Angeles and east of Burbank. Relatives often fly into Hollywood Burbank Airport rather than LAX, then stay in Glendale or nearby Atwater Village. That airport choice changes transfer mileage, not your right to an itemized list. Families also compare a simple cremation with a later gathering in a rented hall away from cemetery traffic on San Fernando Road.
Sample ZIP 91201 is a northwest Glendale postal code on the Los Angeles–metro placeholder (NFDA 2023 medians times the documented Los Angeles multiplier). It is not a price for every 912xx ZIP and not a quote from the Kenneth Road funeral establishment.
The listing we publish is Abbott & Hast Mortuary (FD 1399, 1434 West Kenneth Road), checked on the California license search. Forest Lawn–adjacent traffic that people mention in conversation is a cemetery conversation. Plot, niche, vault, and marker charges are almost always a cemetery bill. This page does not publish those cemetery prices.
Glendale is not Burbank and not Pasadena for licensing. Each funeral establishment has its own Cemetery and Funeral Bureau number. Confirm FD 1399 — or any other number you are given — on search.dca.ca.gov before you pay a deposit.
Cremation by ZIP does not operate in Glendale. We do not cremate, bury, or arrange services. Use the calculator for a planning window and the Bureau search to verify a license.
Paperwork and who to call
A death in Glendale is a Los Angeles County registration. The Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk death-record pages are the usual first stop for a recent certified copy. CDPH-VR’s VS 112 process is the statewide backup. Glendale City Hall does not issue the death certificate.
County and state authorized death-copy fees are published at $26 as of the January 1, 2026 tables we cite. Confirm the live figure on lavote.gov and the CDPH-VR fee page. That is not Abbott & Hast’s cremation price.
The Department of Medical Examiner investigates deaths under its jurisdiction. A Glendale death is not automatically an Examiner case. Ask the funeral establishment. The Mission Road office is not a funeral home.
The FTC Funeral Rule applies in Glendale: itemized General Price List, alternative container for direct cremation, outside urn.
