OUR GENERAL PRICE LIST
These prices are effective as of January 19, 2012,
and are subject to change without notice.
The Federal Trade Commission requires us to provide you a copy of our General Price List.
The goods and services shown on this price list are those we provide to our customers. You may choose only the items
you desire. However, any funeral arrangement you select will include a basic service charge. If legal or other
requirements require you to buy any items you did not specifically ask for, we will explain the reason in writing on the
statement we provide describing the funeral goods and services selected.
This list does not include prices for certain items that you may ask us to buy for you such as cemetery or crematory
services, flowers, and newspaper notices. The prices for these items will be shown on your bill or statement describing
the funeral goods and services selected.
INTRODUCTION
In the past, funeral service pricing has been a relatively simple process. Under new funeral guidelines outlined by the
Federal Trade Commission, many of the costs previously associated with a funeral service must now be listed separately.
While this itemization of costs does not necessarily affect the total cost of a funeral, it may make selecting funeral services
a somewhat more complicated process. In the long run, however, it should enable families to better understand the
various expenses associated with a funeral. This price sheet presents our prices for various elements of our funeral service
options. Our staff will assist you with all of your funeral arrangements, and will explain all the information contained in
this general price list.
In general, there are six categories of costs associated with a funeral service. These are:
Cemetery Charges
Funeral Service Options
Casket Costs
Cash Advance Items
Outer Burial Container Costs
Cemetery Memorials
The remaining pages of this price sheet contain a detailed breakdown of funeral costs and services. Our staff will also
show you a copy of our Casket Price List and Outer Burial Container Price List, as it pertains to each of the above
categories. Our staff will assist you in selecting the services you desire.
