We realize that every person is different
and so are their
family traditions and beliefs. We offer a wide range of service options to every
family we serve.
Services can be tailored to each family; meeting their needs and wishes
whether traditional, contemporary or a mixture of both. A service in the funeral
home, a church or
in the Gardens adjacent to the funeral home, traditional burial or cremation.
Whether a family is discussing pre need services or actually making funeral
arrangements it is important to realize how we end up with a complete cost for
that service.
The benefits of showing Caskets, Outer Interment Receptacles and Urns from
a catalogue are:
~ Families do not have the discomfort of walking into a room surrounded by
caskets.
~ By reducing the overhead, the savings of not having an expensive
inventory on hand is passed on to our families. Which allows us to sell the
same caskets for less.
~ With a catalogue this allows funeral arrangements to
be made in the comfort
of a families home.
There are three parts that when added together give us the complete cost of
what a funeral will end up costing.
1) Funeral Home Charges:
Are those charges set by each individual funeral home for their
professional services, use of facilities, staff and automobiles depending on
the type of service selected by a family.
2) Merchandise Charges:
The charges for a casket, outer interment receptacle, urn, register book,
prayer cards, acknowledgement cards or any merchandise a family may select.
3) Cash Advance Items:
The third party charges for newspaper notices, clergy cemetery, crematory,
death certificates, flowers or any other extra charges that may apply depending
on the service a family desires.
