Many traditional funeral homes will quote you an initial price that includes only the charges for basic services, like embalming, visitation, and funeral ceremony. They call this their “Full Service” price. We have a ‘full service’ price, too. It’s $1,695 and it includes:
| » Transfer of remains |
» Services of staff for visitation |
| » Ceremony design |
» Services of staff for ceremony |
| » Paperwork |
» Services of staff for graveside |
| » Embalming |
» Hearse |
| » Other preparation of body |
» Service vehicle |
However, having only a ‘full service’ price can be misleading because there are many additional services or items most families want, and once those charges are added in, your final price ends up being a much larger number than you originally expected.
That’s why at Funeral Choices, we avoid the confusion and stress by offering a number of packages that include everything you will need, such as a casket, tribute items, a funeral escort, and obituary allowance. The only charges not included in our packages are sales tax, venue charge (however, many venues are available at no charge), and cemetery costs (plot and opening/closing of the grave).
Find a package that’s right for you by reviewing our most common packages below. Remember, any package can be further tailored to meet your specific needs. If you have questions or would like to discuss your options in more detail, please contact us at (614) 539.4508, or send an email, today.
