Service Charges

Service Charges

We are pleased to provide you with a full disclosure of our professional service charges. Please call or email us to obtain the current price list.

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 a funeral account: casket & merchandise selections, professional service charges and cash advances.

Funeral Home Service Charges

To help consumers, legislation states 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 the consumers' request without cost or obligation.

This portion of the contract will outline individually the charges for the Basic Services of Funeral Director and Staff and the services you have selected, ie: Visitation, Service at the Funeral Home, Off-Premise Funeral Service, Graveside Service, Transportation, etc.

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 our level of professionalism, the quality of our facilities and our ethical standards. We pro-actively work towards 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, burial vault, urn or urn vault that a family selects. All of our caskets and merchandise are priced separately - meaning the price you see for the casket is for the casket itself with no other items included.

Cash Advances

Cash advances are just as they imply: to aid the families we serve, we will cover third party expenses and place them on our account as a convenience until the estate is understood.

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 Notices
  • Clergy Honorariums
  • Cemetery Charges
  • Certified Copies of Death Certificates
  • Reception Catering
  • Flowers
  • Church Fees: organist, soloist, etc.
