This list charges by the mile once the drive passes the distance its price covers. How far that is for a family is not something this figure can know, so no amount for it is in the total. The list says: "(Additional mileage is $2.50 per mile)"

8 of the 8 lines this package names carry no amount on this list. They are shown by name, in the home's own words, and no amount is invented for them.

This list posts no per-copy charge for a certified copy of the death certificate, and no verified fee has been recorded for this place, so no amount is shown beside the figure. Ask the funeral home, or the county registrar, what one copy costs.

These prices do not include a casket. The casket is chosen and priced separately at the funeral home.

These figures are ballparks for comparing homes, not quotes.

These figures are assembled from this home's own posted price list, and each one is rounded up to the next $5. Treat them as a way to compare homes, not as a quote. Only the funeral home can quote you.

Certified copies of the death certificate

This home's price list does not show a price for a certified copy of the death certificate, and we have no verified government fee for this place, so please ask the funeral home or the registrar in the county where the death happened what one copy costs.

Tax is always approximate. Ask the funeral home for the exact amount.
