The cremated remains can be returned to you at no additional cost, and our fees cover everything necessary. We don’t charge extra for people who arrive at our facility after hours or from private addresses, in contrast to many other businesses.

Q. How does a prepaid funeral plan work?A. A prepaid funeral plan allows you to pay for the neccessary elements of a funeral in advance, either for yourself or a loved one. These plans can cover all of the costs associated with a funeral, such as a coffin, funeral director, and collection and delivery of the deceased into our care.
