Appreciate everyone's replies.

For anyone interested, I called several funeral homes / cremation service companies in the area & was quoted the following prices for a "simple" / direct cremation (meaning no urn & or additional/special services):

Neptune Society: $1,695
Death certificates: $12
Medical Examiner: $60

Baldwin Brothers: $1,095
They offer a $100 discount for anyone under hospice care, so $995 for hospice patients.
$15 per copy for each certified death certificate
$60 medical examiner fee

DFS Memorials: $1,195
$55 Medical examiner fee
$15 Administration fee
$15 per death certificate

Florida Cremation Society: $1,095
Medical Examiner fee: $60
Certified Death certificates: $10

Ocala Funeral & Cremation Care: $895
Certified Death certificates: $10 per copy
The $895 fee above includes the Medical Examiner fee
