Our Commitment to Clear Information
We understand that families often have questions about funeral costs before ever speaking with a funeral director. During an emotional time, uncertainty can add stress. Our goal is to provide straightforward information so you know what to expect and can make decisions comfortably and without pressure.
Funeral arrangements are not one-size-fits-all. Every service is personalized, and many choices affect the final cost. Because of this, meeting with a family allows us to give the most accurate guidance. However, we believe you should be able to review general pricing information at your own pace first.
The General Price List (GPL)
The Federal Trade Commission’s Funeral Rule requires funeral homes to provide a General Price List (GPL) to anyone who asks in person. We are happy to make ours available here as well.
This document lists the services and merchandise available through our funeral home and the basic fees associated with them. It is intended to help families understand how funeral arrangements are structured.
Understanding Funeral Costs
Many families are surprised to learn that a funeral is not a single fixed package. Costs vary based on the type of service selected and the wishes of the family.
Factors that commonly affect arrangements include:
• Burial or cremation preference
• Viewing or visitation
• Location of the service (chapel, church, graveside)
• Merchandise selections such as casket or urn
• Cemetery requirements
• Death certificates and permits
We will always explain options and never require families to select services they do not want.
You Are Never Required to Purchase Everything
You have the right to choose only the services you want. Federal law protects families and allows you to select individual services rather than bundled packages. Our role is to explain choices and guide you — not to pressure you.
If you ever have a question about a recommendation, we will gladly explain why it may or may not be helpful for your specific situation.
Planning Ahead
Some visitors to this page are not facing an immediate loss but simply want to understand how planning works in advance.
Pre-planning does not mean you must prepay. Many families simply record their wishes so loved ones are not left guessing later.

Our purpose is to help you understand your options so you can make the decision that feels right for your family.
