Traditional Funeral Packages



Our prices for complete traditional funeral services range from $6695 to $9595.  Our prices and fees include all services charges, a casket, vault (Wilbert "Monticello" or the eqivalent Klocek "Triguard', these are standard tongue and groove vaults), use of funeral home, all transport charges (local)  register book , memorial cards,  and thank you notes. A traditional funeral would be one or two nights of viewing with services in the funeral home  or your church and burial in a local cemetery. (With the viewing and services this would occur over a time period of two or three days.)
 We believe our prices are amoung the most reasonable in our service area. Our merchandise is of the highest quality. We offer Thomas Kinkade Register Books, Memorial Cards, and Thank you notes as part of the Package.  We offer families a video tribute recorded on a CD. We will use up to 40 pictures and present to your family up to 5 Copies at no extra fee.  
A separate Casket and Vault Price list is available. I have at least 50 caskets I could present to you in the price range listed above, manufactured by Batisville Casket Company, the largest manufacturer of Caskets in the country.    Not all the caskets are in my funeral home showroom, but can be seen within a professionally designed catolog and are available the day they would be needed. The styles and materials vary from 20 gauge steel to solid oak. Please go to the "Casket Page" on the Web site to view caskets and complete funeral package prices.  prices.   It is not my policy to suggest that the cost of a casket  is related to one casket being "better" than another, Casket prices vary due to the type of material used on the interior, the type of hardware, exterior material, how the casket is painted and so on. YOUR SELECTION OF A CASKET SHOULD BE BASED ON WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD AND YOUR OWN PERSONAL PREFERENCE, NOT ON ANY MISCONCEPTIONS THAT MORE EXPENSIVE MEANS IT MUST BE BETTER.
