The cost of a funeral depends greatly on an individual’s choices when it comes organizing the specific aspects of the funeral arrangements. For example there are many variables which combine together to determine the final cost such as;
  • Coffin selection – whether a veneered or solid option is chosen or a combination of both
  • Burial or cremation
  • Use of our Funeral Home
  • Types of flowers and music to name just a few.
Funeral costs typically consist of the following;
  • Coffin Choice
  • Funeral Directors Fee
  • Third Party Payments

  4. At our initial meeting, we will discuss the choice of burial or cremation, liaise with medical personnel involved to arrange the completion of the death notification form. Removal of remains from the place of death to our funeral home where embalming, preparation, dressing, and presentation of the deceased occurs. Viewing of remains at the funeral home and/or return to the family home, or a chapel of rest at a nursing home will be discussed and agreed with the family.
