How to read these prices: each figure is the provider’s own price, from its price list, website or a phone call, checked in August or September 2026. It’s not a quote, so confirm before you decide. Traditional burial is the funeral home’s charges; the casket, vault and cemetery are extra unless the row says otherwise. The $157 state cremation permit is extra unless the row says it’s included. How we find and check prices

Comparing prices — read this first

It’s not an apples-to-apples comparison, and here’s exactly why

The vault-setting fee
Some homes cut the vault price and recover it through a separately-listed setting fee. Comparing vault line items alone can point you to the wrong conclusion.
The casket, not just the price
“One’s a Kia, one’s a BMW.” Casket prices aren’t comparable across providers without knowing the maker and line.
The cremation container
It’s legally required and it costs money — but quoted prices often leave it out. A $1,000 quote and a $1,300 quote may be identical.
Other things that can raise or lower the price: transportation, the funeral home’s staff and services, paperwork and death certificates, identification and viewing, the urn, the ceremony itself, and after-hours fees. Ask about each one when you compare providers.

Larkin, Broomhead, Family Funeral Care, or Serenity — what actually differs

The practical differences come down to what’s included, not just the sticker price.

Provider(s)What actually differs
Serenity Funeral Home The lowest direct-cremation price of the four, and based just south in Bluffdale, directly bordering Riverton.
Family Funeral Care Part of the Dignity Memorial network (owned by Service Corporation International, SCI), not an independent local firm. Publishes a full itemized price list: direct cremation starts at $1,395 with a container you supply, $1,590 with a cardboard container, and rises with the container chosen. Cremation services are itemized rather than sold as packages, and weekends carry an extra $500.
Broomhead Funeral Home Publishes three cremation packages with a service ($3,150 memorial, $4,300 viewing with casket rental, $4,995 full funeral). Direct cremation with no service is $1,995 by phone quote; it isn’t published online. Has its own crematory on site.
Larkin Mortuary — Riverton Follows its usual chain-wide package structure, which includes more built-in service time but requires buying a casket or container directly from Larkin.

None of these is the “better” choice — the right fit depends on what your family needs. The Wayfinder Plan above can help narrow that down faster than reading everything on this page.

Local detail worth knowing

Riverton specifics

A weathered low stone plot marker in short grass
Riverton’s own cemetery fee schedule, published directly by the city
Riverton City publishes its cemetery fees directly: a resident grave is $1,200 to purchase ($3,000 for non-residents), and opening/closing a weekday single-depth grave runs $800 ($1,200 on Saturday). A double-stack burial’s first opening is $1,200 weekday / $1,600 Saturday, with a $200/hour overtime fee past 4 p.m. See the city’s current fee schedule, captured September 16, 2026.

The LDS Church’s stance on cremation has shifted
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leaves the choice of burial or cremation to the family, and its official handbook affirms that the Resurrection applies to every member regardless of how the body was treated after death. In practice, a full viewing and funeral service followed by cremation is a common, faith-consistent path here — not a contradiction. Read the Church’s official policy.
A small stack of paperwork documents
Death certificates and paperwork
Utah’s Office of Vital Records charges $35 for the first certified copy of a death certificate, $10 for each additional copy, and $7 for a burial transit permit — the state’s current fee schedule, effective July 2026. Certificates can be ordered directly through the state’s online portal.

A death abroad can cost $10,000 or more. Some prepaid plans include away-from-home transport; ask whether yours does.
