UNDERSTANDING SERVICE COSTS
We pride ourselves on being one of the funeral homes offering the best service in the area, given our level of professionalism, quality of facilities, and ethical standards. We are not a "discount" funeral home and as such, we do not offer a level of service that could be considered discounted. Providing ultimate service to our families is our number one priority.
Today, through some research, consumers and families can learn first hand that there are differences between funeral homes. Today, simply being good is not good enough. We trust that our level of service will give you one more reason to give Park Memorial serious consideration when seeking a funeral home that is pro-actively working towards providing you the highest standards of products, services and facilities while offering creative and unique solutions for your best value.
In doing so, Park Memorial is pleased to provide you with a full disclosure of our service charges.
To help you understand funeral costs, we have prepared an outline of the categories that make up a funeral account. There are basically three sections that make up the total funeral account: Professional Service Charges, Casket and/or Cremation Container and Merchandise Selections, and Cash Disbursements.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICE CHARGES Professional Service Charges include items such as: staff assistance in the initial request for service and arrangement conference; coordination of details with respect to the cemetery, mausoleum or crematorium and other parties responsible for final disposition arrangements; record keeping and clerical assistance, including preparation and filing of permits required by the government, Funeral Director's Statement of Death certificates, and other required documents; preparation and delivery of obituary notices; provision of benefit information and other helpful information; obtaining a signed medical certificate; associated vehicle costs; transfer of deceased from place of death; general building use (arrangement offices, visitation areas, business offices, preparation area, etc.); use of facilities for service and/or use of staff and equipment for services taking place outside the funeral home.
