PROFFESSIONAL SERVICES CHARGES

We are pleased to provide you with a full disclosure of our Professional Service Charges.

To help you understand Funeral Cost we have an outline of the categories that make up a funeral account.  There are basically four sections that make up the total funeral account: First; Professiional Service, Facilities and Transportation Charges, Second; Casket & Merchandise Selections, Third; Cash Disbursement and Fourth imposed taxes on applicable items.

To aid consumers, The FTC provides that all funeral homes must provide an itemized price list of all of their related Professional Service Charges as well as casket and merchandise charges. This list must be availiable at the funeral home at the consumers' request without cost or obligation.

We take pride in  being one of the most resonable priced funeral homes in the area, although many families expect our charges to be much higher given the level of professionalism, quality of facilities and ethical standards. Because of the quality of our services and the fact that we offer many services that our competitors do not we are sometimes not the least expensive. The consumers and families we serve have first hand knowledge that there is a difference. Today being good in not enough, Our goal is to provide the very best in the services to those we serve.
