The goods and services shown below are those we can provide to our customers. You may choose only the items you
desire. However, any funeral arrangements you select will include a charge for our basic services and overhead. If legal
or other requirements mean you must buy any items you did not specifically ask for we will explain the reason in writing
on the statement we provide describing the funeral goods and services you selected. {Note: We offer Personalized
Service Program Packages. The funeral arranger handling your arrangements will further explain our packages to you.}
Prior to drafting any contract for goods or services, the responsible party or the decedent’s survivor

the funeral establishment that has been signed and paid for, in full or in part, by or on behalf of the decedent.
CARE OF REMAINS
Embalming………………………………………………………………………………………………..$395.00
Embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements,
such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that
does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial. Embalming is a chemical process which
provides temporary preservation of the body and eliminates certain health hazards. A person licensed by the state must
complete this procedure.
