Price List

 These prices are effective as of November 19, 2008

The goods and services shown below are those we can provide to our customers. You may choose only the items you desire. However, any funeral arrangements you select will include a charge for our basic services and overhead. If legal or other requirements mean you must buy any items you did not specifically ask for, we will explain the reason in writing on the statement we provide describing the funeral goods and services you selected.

Professional Services:
Basic services of the funeral director and staff: $1,395

Our charge for the services of funeral director and staff includes, but is not limited to: staff to respond to initial requests for service; an arrangement conference with family or responsible party; coordination with cemetery, crematory, or other parties involved in final disposition of the deceased; preparation and filing of necessary notices, authorizations and permits; and sheltering of remains.

This fee for our basic services and overhead will be added to the total cost of funeral arrangements you select. This fee is already included in our charges for direct cremations, immediate burials, and forwarding or receiving of remains.
