The following estimated
costs are also common to most services thus must be taken into
consideration when discussing the total costs of a funeral. Of
note, these services/products are provided by other participants
thus we have no control over these costs. However, we commonly pay
for these expenses and in-turn charge the family their actual cost.
Therefore these costs are not marked up, thus we do not profit from
handling the payment of these expenses. We offer this service to
simplify the billing process for the family.
