Also included in this charge; the arrangement consultation; care and custody of the deceased consistent with applicable state laws; preparation of all legally required documents and authorizations; procurement of all required certifications from physicians, the coroner or public health officers; clerical and administrative services; consultation with the cemetery, crematory, clergy, musicians and common carriers; planning funeral services; preparation and placement of obituary notices. This fee for our basic services and overhead will be added to the total cost of the funeral arrangements you select.

CARE OF DECEASED

 

Embalming $500
Embalming is a chemical process which provides temporary preservation of the body and eliminates certain health hazards. A person licensed by this state must complete this procedure.
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. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial.
