PROFESSONAL SERVICE CHARGES

To help you understand Funeral Costs we have prepared an outline of the categories that make up a funeral account. There are basically three sections that make up the total funeral account:
Professional Service Charges, Casket & Merchandise Selections, and Cash Advances.

To aid consumers, legislation provides that all funeral homes must provide an itemized price list of all of their related Professional Service Charges as well as casket and merchandise charges. This list must be available at a consumer's request without cost or obligation. 
We pride ourselves on always being one of the most reasonably priced funeral homes in the area, although many expect our charges to be much higher given the level of professionalism, quality of facilities and ethical standards. Consumers and families  can learn first hand that there is a difference and families needn't fall into the trap of traditional loyalty many funeral homes attempt to count on. Today, being good is not good enough.  
We trust that this service will give you one more reason to give us serious consideration when seeking a funeral home that is pro-actively working toward providing you the highest standards of services and facilities while  offering sensible and affordable solutions. 


CASKET & MERCHANDISE SELECTIONS

This section is specific to the casket that a family selects. All of our caskets and merchandise items are priced separately - meaning the price you see for the casket is for the casket itself with no other items included that may become confusing to families. Some of the other types of merchandise you might find in this section of the funeral account are: Burial Vaults, Cremation Urns, Video Tributes, and Stationery Packages. Again, each is itemized based on your selection and a total is itemized under the "Casket & Merchandise Selections."


CASH ADVANCES

Cash Advances are as they imply. To aid the families we serve, we will pay third party expenses as a convenience to you.

Strict legislation ensures that these items are not marked up and only the exact "cost" is included on the funeral account. Typical cash disbursements might include:

  • Newspaper and Radio Notices
  • Clergy Honorariums
  • Cemetery Charges
  • Coroner's Cremation Certificate
  • Funeral Dinner Expenses
  • Musicians
