How Expensive Are Funerals?...
A
funeral is only as expensive as you want it to be. We have included a sample of
a General Price List, which
all
funeral homes in the United States are required to give to you upon
request. At the time funeral arrangements are made, you will select which items
of service and merchandise you desire, therefore adding to the cost as you
select more and more items.
If you would like a copy of our current general price list please call us. We do
not have our general price list available in e-mail format.

Funeral expenses are generally broken
down into three major categories,
- Non-Declinable Funeral Home
Charges
Transfer of remains to funeral home
Basic Arrangements and Supervision
Transfer of remains to cemetery or crematory
- Declinable Funeral Home Charges
Preparation of remains
Other Supervision for visitation, services or
graveside service
Use of Funeral Home for visitation and / or funeral
service
Merchandise items, such as urns, acknowledgement
cards, service folders, etc.
- Cash Advanced Items
Cemetery / Crematory charges
Clergy Honorariums
Certified copies of death certificate
Other items as deemed necessary

Funeral Home charges are for the
services and the merchandise provided to you by the funeral home.
Cash Advanced items are
expenses that you incur from other agencies or businesses and are NOT
PART OF THE FUNERAL HOME'S CHARGES (Please Note:
Some choices may require you to purchase other additional items).
It is becoming a policy of
most all funeral homes that you pay the cash advanced items
prior to the day of the funeral as these charges may add upward
of $1,000.00 to the cost of the funeral, and they are required by the other
businesses and agencies to be paid at the time their services are rendered.
For your convenience, we now accept VISA, MasterCard, Discover
and debit cards
