GENERAL PRICE LIST
EFFECTIVE: APRIL 1, 2015
(Prices and fees subject to change without notice.)
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
professional services and overhead. If legal or other requirements mean you must buy any items you did
not specifically ask for, we will explain the reasons in writing on the statement we provide describing
the funeral goods and services you selected. This list does not include prices for certain items that you
may ask us to buy for you, such as cemetery services, and newspaper notices. The prices for these items
will be shown on your bill or the statement describing the funeral goods and services you selected.
Prior to drafting any contract for goods or services, the responsible party or the decedent’s survivor who
is handling the funeral arrangements is entitled to receive a copy of any preneed agreement in the
possession of the funeral establishment that has been signed and paid for, in full or in part, by or on
behalf of the decedent.
The State of California requires all death certificates to be electronically filed. The physician of the
decedent must supply the mortuary with the cause or causes of death and be available to sign the
completed certificate as quickly as possible in order to file the death certificate prior to a funeral. If the
physician fails to sign in a timely manner, or if the case becomes a coroner's case, the funeral service
may be delayed.
Chevra Kadisha Mortuary requires that all financial arrangements be paid-in-full prior to services.
