Service Charges

PROFESSIONAL SERVICE CHARGES

We would be pleased to provide you with a full disclosure of our Professional Service Charges at your request.

To help you understand Funeral Costs we have prepared an outline of the categories that make up a funeral account. There are basically four sections that make up the total funeral account: Casket & Merchandise Selections, Professional Service Charges, Cash Disbursements and government imposed taxes on applicable items.

We pride ourselves on always being one of the most reasonably priced funeral homes in the area, although many expect our charges to be much higher given the level of professionalism, quality of facilities and ethical standards. Today, being good is not good enough. We trust that this service will give you one more reason to give the Hendrick Funeral Home serious consideration when seeking a funeral home that is pro-actively working towards providing you the highest standards of services and facilities while offering sensible and affordable solutions.

CASKET & MERCHANDISE SELECTIONS

This section is specific to the casket that a family selects. All of our caskets and merchandise is priced separately - meaning the price you see for the casket is for the casket itself with no other items included that can often become confusing to families. Some of the other types of merchandise you might find in these section of the funeral account are: Burial Vaults and Cremation Urns. Again, each is itemized based on your selection and a total is itemized under the "Casket & Merchandise Selections."

CASH DISBURSEMENTS

Cash Disbursements are as they imply. To aid the families we serve, we will cover third party expenses and place them on our account as a convenience until the estate is understood.

Strict legislation ensures that these items are not marked up and only the exact "cost" is included on the funeral account. Typical cash disbursements might include:

Newspaper Notices
Clergy Honorariums
Cemetery Charges
Coroner's Cremation Certificates
Reception Catering
