 To Those We Are Privileged to Serve

 Federal and State agencies have determined that itemization of funeral services is essential for the benefit of the general public, to assure that consumers are not asked to pay for services they do not receive.  It is essential that each item of service, in addition to our basic fee for services, be identified.  In all categories of service, a basic fee will be charged, plus a fee for each requested or required item of service.  However, the complete and total quotation for direct cremation without formalities is all-inclusive.  Other options are also available.  It is our sincere concern that every requirement you may have be fulfilled, in addition or apart from our standard offerings as listed herein.  Please feel free to express yourself to our counselor.  We will make every effort to meet your needs.
