A list of funeral costs is mandated by the Federal Trade Commission. Every funeral home is required to make this list available upon request for comparison by the consumer. Unlike many other funeral homes we provide ALL of our prices online in order to give you straightforward and full disclosure of our costs. We believe in sharing as much information as possible up front when you are looking at funeral service options. Comparing prices can be confusing though, so we invite you to contact us with any questions.
These prices are effective as of December 1, 2023
The goods and services shown below are those we can provide to our customers. You may choose only the items you desire. However, any arrangements you select will include a charge for our basic services and overhead. If legal or other requirements mean you must buy any items you did not specifically ask for, we will explain the reason in writing on the statement we provide describing the goods and services you selected.

5,050.00
Basic Services of the Funeral Director and Staff

This fee for our basic services will be added to the total cost of the funeral arrangements you select (This fee is already included in our charges for direct cremations, immediate burials, forwarding and receiving of remains).
Embalming

Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing.
