It was $200 more for if you wanted a flip up lid for a service.
I think then the environmental fee was on top of that.

And you can buy some _very_ nice boxes for cremation. My buddy (a woodworker) cremated his father last year and he was positively offended that people would spend money on a nice wooden box only to then burn it. I get that we aren't in a wood recession or anything, but it's outrageously wasteful. I get that the funeral business needs to run, but man that feels wrong.
