INTRODUCTION

Planning a funeral is probably one of the most difficult tasks that one will ever have, albeit one

of the most important ones as well. Making arrangements for the appropriate farewell for your

loved one is complicated by the need to make decisions quickly and by the emotional realities

of the situation. Our goal is to guide you through this important process by truly

understanding your wishes and providing you with all of the options to assist you in creating a

uniquely personal service that respects your preferences and those of your loved one.

This booklet is more than a General Price List. It is also an educational tool, and is designed

to provide you with the knowledge required to make informed decisions. Together with the

support from our trained and experienced funeral professionals, we trust that your experience,

while difficult, will at the same time be rewarding and fulfilling as you create a truly special

occasion to be shared by family and friends, and warmly remembered by all.

Thank you for extending the privilege to us to serve you. We truly understand the importance

of our role and are committed to helping you to create a funeral service that is meaningful,

appropriate and affordable.

GUIDE

TO USING THIS BOOKLET We start with a reflection on the importance of the funeral ritual as an integral part of the healing process after

someone we love has passed on. This is followed by a brief description of each of the elements of the funeral

ritual that serve to continue the healing process. With this as background, we then discuss the options~burial or

cremation~for how your loved one will be cared for after death.

Having decided your preference for care of your loved one, we then go on to explain the most common types of

funeral services for burial and cremation. Your choices here will be guided by personal preferences and by

religious customs, and will influence the subsequent selection of our services and supporting merchandise. For

your convenience, we have created “Funeral Service Packages” which reflect the most commonly selected

funereal services. Each includes a detailed breakdown of all costs, as well as a package savings, so that you can

determine value for yourself.

We would like to point out that the goods and services contained in this booklet are those that we can

provide to our customers. You may select only the items that you desire. However, any funeral arrangements

that you select will include a charge for our basic services and overhead. If legal or other requirements mean

you must buy any items you did not specifically ask for, we will explain the reason in writing on the statement

we provide describing the funeral goods and services you selected.

Services Include:

Our basic service fee;

Care of your loved one;

Use of our facilities, equipment and staff;

Use of transportation, equipment and staff

Merchandise Includes:

Caskets and alternative containers;

Outer burial containers;

Urns and urn vaults;

Other merchandise including stationery, flowers, clothing, and permanent memorials

Other Funeral Costs Include:

Honorariums for clergy, pallbearers, musicians;

Third party business expenses for cemeteries, local business services, and the government

The final section of this booklet is a “Funeral Planning Worksheet” which allows our funeral director to review

the selections you have made before agreeing on the contract. At this point we will be asking you for your

preference in settling your account, including a down payment for us to start making arrangements for any

selected third party services.

THE FUNERAL RITUAL

Funerals are an important part of the healing process after someone we love has passed on:

They help us to come to terms with the reality of death;

They are a time to remember;

They are a time for community an mutual support;

They are a time to say goodbye;

They are a time of transition from life before death to life after death.

The funeral ritual is organized to help accomplish each of the elements above:

The Visitation - Sometimes called “the wake”, spending time with the deceased is a time for

family and friends to see your loved one for the last time and truly begin to come to terms with the

reality of death. The casket can be open or closed, and visitation is a personal and cultural choice.

The Tribute - Sometimes called “the reflection” or “eulogy”, or “remembrance”, the tribute is part

of the funeral ceremony and is a personal reflection from one or several people on the lift of your

loved one passed. The tribute may be delivered in our chapel, in a place of worship, or in an

environment chosen by you.

The Procession - Sometimes called “the motorcade”, the procession is the orderly transportation of

your loved one to their final resting place. A symbol of mutual support and public honoring of the

death, it is led by the deceased in the funeral coach and is followed by family and friends.

The Committal - Sometimes called “the celebration” or “the reception”, the reception is an

informal time for family to say thank you to friends who shared in the funeral ritual. It can take

place anywhere the family chooses and is a time to offer condolence and mutual support and to

begin the transition of life after death.

Burial or Cremation?

Choosing the method of care for your loved one after death is a personal decision, and in some cases, a

religious or cultural one. Whatever your preference, we encourage you to consider including each of

the elements in the funeral ritual as they are an integral part of the healing process from moving from

life before death to life after death.

CARE OF

Subject to change without notice

TRANSPORTATION

Removal and transfer to the funeral home within 35 miles $400

EMBALMING $700 Embalming is a chemical process that provides temporary preservation of the body and eliminates certain health hazards.

Sanitary preparation of the deceased is part of the embalming process. (This fee is reduce for children under the age of 5).

This procedure must be completed by a funeral professional licensed by the Louisiana State Board of Embalmers and

Funeral Directors.

Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select

certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the

right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial. If

there is no embalming, the body must be buried or cremated within 30 hour after death.

DIRECT CREMATION $1,300 The casket or cremation container is brought to a crematory where it is placed in a cremation chamber which is heated to an

extremely high temperature. The intense heat reduces the casket or cremation container, as well as the remains, to small

bone fragments which are then placed in a processor and reduced in size. The cremated remains are then placed in an urn

or temporary container and returned to the family.

The funeral home requires a refundable deposit of $300 when asked to hold cremated remains for later release to a family.
