Here is an overview of some of the details and products that will add to your funeral planning bill: 

• Funeral or Memorial Services: Our team members will be available to assist with staffing the event, including ushering, transportation, and more. Other essential details include equipment, chairs, funeral accessories, and other items that will facilitate the activities of the day. 
• Burial: When you choose burial as the way to lay someone to rest, you will need to select a casket, vault, and a burial plot. Fees might need to be paid to the cemetery for digging the grave, and there is often a cost for the graveside services. Green burial is an option that should be considered if you prefer eco-friendly solutions.  
• Cremation: Many families prefer cremation over traditional burial because it is an affordable way to lay someone to rest. Your expenses for cremation will include the crematory fees, as well as the purchase of an urn and any other cremation accessories that are desired. For example, some families choose cremation jewelry or mementos to hold the ashes. 
• Funeral Home: Most funeral packages include fees for the facilities use at the funeral home. These fees cover the storage of the body, as well as administrative support with paperwork, permits, insurance, communication, use of equipment, and more.  
• Venue Costs: Where will the funeral or memorial be held? You will need to pay for the use of the building for the viewing and funeral services. Some families choose to hold the event at a local church to save money.  

Remember that price isn’t the most important factor when selecting funeral services. Your loved one deserves the highest levels of respect and care, which is why many families choose to pay for the best services regardless of the cost.
