Many factors determine the costs of a funeral. Just as with other life rituals such as weddings, funeral charges depend on how elaborate or how simple a ceremony the family or individual chooses. Once you have determined the services you prefer, we will give you an exact, bottom-line cost. Our wide selection of services allows you to choose exactly what you want. Whether you prefer a large, formal traditional funeral, simple cremation, or something between, we are here to serve your family.



Our family has prepared this guide to outline the basic categories of Funeral Costs. This information becomes the basis for comparing costs between the goods and services available among area Funeral Homes. When pricing a funeral, keep in mind that there are 5 categories of costs.

Category 1

Funeral Home Professional Services:

This section includes Services of the Funeral Directors and Staff, Preparation, Basic Arrangements and Services, Use of Facilities and Use of Funeral Home Vehicles may include but not limited to:





















Category 2

Casket/Urn:

Whether you choose ground burial or above ground burial a casket is necessary. As for cremation, purchase of an Urn is optional. Caskets and Urns are available in a very wide range of prices and styles.

Category 3

Burial Vault/Urn Vault:

Most cemeteries in our area require burial vault for ground burial. The first purpose of a burial vault is to protect the groundís integrity and the second, to protect the casket. Some cemeteries in our area also require an urn vault when cremains are buried in ground. Burial Vaults and Urn Vaults are available in a wide range of prices, styles and protection levels.

When comparing costs between the goods and services available among area Funeral Homes, here is a useful formula to help you determine the Total Cost of the Funeral. Funeral Home Professional Services + Casket/Urn + Burial Vault/Urn Vault + Total Cash Advance Charges = Total Funeral Cost
