PAYMENT POLICY

We understand that losing someone you love is an emotional and life-changing experience.

Consideration of any financial ramifications is very difficult. We hope to help you plan a tribute in a way that is both meaningful to you and your family and also honors the life of your loved one.

Payment prior to cremation or burial:

We request payment in full the day prior to planned services. If for any reason a balance remains due you will be billed at your home within 14 days. The balance will be due in 30 days. If you are unable to pay the balance in that time, late payment and interest charges will be applied.

Some of the payment methods we accept include:

1. Cash, Check, Money Order, or Cashier’s Check

2. Credit Card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express) – payment by credit card for cash advances will have an additional 3% fee added.

3. Insurance Policy with the beneficiary’s consent. The policy can be used as payment for the funeral expenses. Insurance assignment is acceptable if the following criteria are met:

• The policy is verified by us and all documentation is signed preceding the funeral.

• The policy is assignable and payable directly to the funeral home.

• The policy must be non-contestable (if in the contestable period, the policy will not be accepted as a form of payment).

• Pre-Arranged and Pre-Paid Funerals

4 In some cases, the deceased’s estate must pay for funeral expenses. In these instances we request that a family member take the financial responsibility for funeral expenses and then file for reimbursement with the estate.

It is our policy to provide funeral services to all those within our community, and we do not wish for anyone to be limited by finances; if financial hardship is an issue, we ask that you contact us to speak more about the options that we can provide.

OUR PROMISE, OUR PLEDGE

Choosing a funeral home is a very personal decision, and we’re honored that you are considering us.

As a family-owned business, we do everything we can to ensure that each and every family we serve is treated with the same care, dignity, and respect that we would hope to receive ourselves. We realize that this is one of the most difficult moments in your life, and that all of the details and every part of this process may be overwhelming. This is why our dedicated staff is available for you 24 hours a day.

Our promise to you is that at any time, if you are dissatisfied with the level of care you are receiving, the owners will respond to your concerns personally. And if we are unable to satisfy your wishes, we will either reduce or eliminate the charges.Because while this is a business, it’s a business of caring.
