About Perman Funeral Home & Cremation Services

Perman Funeral Home & Cremation Services is an independently owned funeral home serving the Pittsburgh area, which typically means families work directly with the owners rather than with staff rotating through a corporate chain. They offer both cremation and traditional burial services, along with what appears to be a full range of funeral arrangements for families with varying needs and preferences. Direct cremation starts at $1,800 and traditional burial services also begin at $1,800, though final costs will vary depending on the options selected — families should request an itemized General Price List to get a clearer picture of total expenses. The home holds a 4.9-star rating across 111 Google reviews, which is a notably strong and consistent signal of customer satisfaction, suggesting families have generally felt well cared for during a difficult time.
