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 Van Nuys
Van Nuys sits in the central San Fernando Valley along the 405 and Van Nuys Boulevard. Relatives often fly into Hollywood Burbank Airport or LAX and stay in Sherman Oaks, Encino, or North Hollywood. That travel pattern is why Valley families compare direct cremation now with a later gathering in a rented hall. Those are different list lines.
Sample ZIP 91406 is a Van Nuys postal code on the Los Angeles–metro placeholder (NFDA 2023 medians times the documented Los Angeles multiplier). It is not a price for every 914xx ZIP and not a quote from the Stagg Street plant.
The listing we publish is Day and Night Removals and Cremations (CR 398, 16760 Stagg Street Suite 203), checked on the California license search as a crematory. A crematory license is not the same as a funeral establishment license. Ask whether you will also sign a contract with a separately licensed funeral establishment, and get both license numbers in writing.
Van Nuys is a neighborhood name inside the City of Los Angeles. Death records still run through Los Angeles County, not a Van Nuys neighborhood council. Cemetery niche space in the Valley is a cemetery bill this page does not publish.
Cremation by ZIP does not operate a plant in Van Nuys. We do not cremate, bury, or arrange services. Confirm CR 398 — and any funeral establishment number you are given — on search.dca.ca.gov.
Paperwork and who to call
A death at a Van Nuys address is registered in Los Angeles County. Use the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk for a recent certified copy; CDPH-VR VS 112 is the statewide backup. There is no Van Nuys city clerk for vital records.
Published authorized death-copy fees at the county and CDPH-VR are $26 as of the January 1, 2026 tables we cite. Confirm the live fee on those official pages. That is not the Stagg Street plant’s cremation price.
The Department of Medical Examiner investigates deaths under its jurisdiction only. Ask whoever holds the funeral establishment contract, not only the crematory, whether the Examiner is involved.
California licenses crematories and funeral establishments as separate categories. The FTC Funeral Rule still applies to the funeral establishment you hire: itemized list, alternative container, outside urn.
