PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
Basic Services of Funeral Director and Staff……………………….$1267*
Our fee for the services of funeral director and staff includes, but is not limited to, staff to respond to initial request for service, arrangement conference with family or other responsible party, arrangement of funeral, preparation and filing of necessary authorizations and permits, recording vital statistics, preparation and placement of obituary notices, staff assistance prior to, during, and following the funeral, including coordination with those providing other portions of the funeral, e.g. ministers, cemetery, and others. Also included in these charges are overhead expenses relative to our facilities such as insurance, maintenance and utility expenses, secretarial and administrative expenses, and equipment and inventory costs.
This fee for our basic services and overhead will be added to the total cost of the funeral arrangements you select. (This fee is already included in our charges for direct cremation, forwarding and receiving of remains, and immediate burials).
Embalming…………………………..$490*
Except in special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming is a chemical process which provides temporary preservation of the body and eliminates certain health hazards. The procedure must be performed by a person licensed by this state. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial.

Merchandise
CASKETS. We offer many different styles and prices of caskets, and an alternative container from which to select. Many caskets appear similar in appearance actually differ greatly in quality and construction, thus a wide range in prices. A protective casket is designed and constructed by the manufacturer to resist the entrance of air, water, and other outside elements. Protective caskets are made of various gauges (thickness) of bronze, copper, and steel. Non-protective caskets are not designed to resist the entrance of air, water, or other outside elements. Non-protective caskets are made of steel, hardwood, or wood covered with fabric. Adult caskets range in price from $1075 to $9210 with special caskets available upon request. A complete list of caskets available will be provided for you at the funeral home.
OUTER BURIAL CONTAINERS. No state or local law requires the purchase of a container to surround the casket in the grave. However, some cemeteries require the purchase of a container to reduce future maintenance of the grave. Either a grave liner or burial vault will satisfy those requirements. Outer burial containers range in price from $990 to $4190. A complete list will be provided to you at the funeral home. When an outer burial container is purchased from us, the cemetery equipment fee of $250 is included in the price.
