The goods and services shown below are those we can provide to our customers. You may choose only the items

our charges for direct cremations, immediate burials, anatomical donations and forwarding or receiving
remains.) Our professional service charge includes, but is not limited to:
• Personnel available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to respond to initial request for services and shelter of remains

merchandise as required

EMBALMING ..................................................................................................................................................................................................... $ 390.00
Our service provides professional care and preparation of the remains by a licensed embalmer. The process
includes cleansing, sanitizing, embalming and preparing the remains to ensure public health, proper discharge of
infectious materials and containments, and to artfully restore the appearance of the deceased.

Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain
funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with a 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.
