À la Carte General Price List 2026
As funeral directors and professionals, our calling imposes upon us special responsibilities to those we serve and to the public at large. Chief among them are the fiduciary duty and obligation to inform the public as well as families so that everyone can make knowledgeable and informed decisions about funerals and funeral directors at large.
The prices listed pertain to the various services, products, and merchandise that we can offer to you our clients. You are welcome to choose only the items you desire, and we will provide only the services that you request. However, any arrangements you decide upon will incur a minimum charge for our staff, services, and facilities, as there is a fundamental amount of our time, equipment, and expertise that must be allocated to every type of arrangement we offer.
If legal, cemetery, crematory, or funeral home regulations require that you purchase any services or items that you may wish to omit or did not specifically request, we will clarify the reasons in writing on the funeral purchase agreement/statement that we provide to you, detailing the funeral goods and services you selected and which you will need to acknowledge and sign. This list does not include the prices or fees for certain items you may ask us to procure or arrange on your behalf, such as cemetery or crematory charges, floral arrangements, newspaper announcements, church or clergy fees, and similar items. The costs for these items will be noted on the funeral purchase agreement/statement of account, and you will be required to acknowledge and sign.
Our prices are established based on a comprehensive assessment of our operational expenses and are regularly reviewed to ensure that we provide you with the highest quality standards at a fair and reasonable price. We encourage you to compare and evaluate our facilities and pricing structure with other funeral homes in the vicinity. In making that comparison, we advise you to consider factors such as parking availability, location, and the services and products related to the total overall cost. The merchandise you select should also be assessed using the same criteria, such as the type, gauge or thickness, and detailing of caskets made from precious, semi-precious, and metal materials; the quality, craftsmanship, and finish of fine hardwood caskets; we are confident that after a thorough evaluation, you will find that our funeral service establishment offers the highest dedication and standards of quality for the services we provide and the products we sell.
