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.
