These prices are effective March 1, 2023 but are subject to change without notice.
The goods and services shown below are general costs and funeral expenses we can provide to our customers. You may choose only the items you desire. However, any funeral arrangements 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.
FUNERAL COSTS – PROFESSIONAL STAFF SERVICES
Our professional service charge includes: 24-hour availability; consultation with family; preparation and filing of authorizations, certificates and permits; and a proportionate share of our overhead funeral costs. The fee for our basic services and overhead will be added to the total cost of the funeral arrangements you select. (This fee is already included in our charges for direct cremation, immediate burial and forwarding and receiving the remains.) An additional consultation and coordination fee of $200 per hour may be assessed for extreme delayed or very complex services where our professional staff time to make arrangements exceeds four hours.
Embalming:
Embalming is a chemical process which provides temporary preservation of the body and eliminates health hazards. A person licensed by this state must perform the procedure. 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.
Includes the following services as needed: washing, disinfecting, dressing, cosmetology, restorative art, hairdressing and casketing.
Use of Staff & Equipment:
Includes coordinating and directing the service; and professional staff attendance and supervision.
Up to eight immediate family members may identify the deceased for a one-time period for up to 20 minutes during normal business hours Monday through Friday (Not available at our Boscawen facility). Please understand that an ID viewing may not always be possible due to the condition of the deceased. We reserve the right to refuse viewing to those that are not immediate family. Additional ID viewings will be changed at $250 per occurrence. An additional preparation fee of $200 will apply when an autopsy has been performed.
Family may view the deceased in one of our spacious viewing rooms or chapels for one hour during normal business hours. The deceased will be washed, dressed, prepared for viewing, and placed in an upgraded cremation container. Please inquire about evening, weekend, and extended viewing time options. An additional preparation fee of $200 will apply when an autopsy has been performed.
For those that want the peace-of-mind of being present for the cremation, we will schedule the cremation at a mutually agreed upon time. An upgraded cremation container is recommended. Our staff will not dress the deceased, apply cosmetics, shave, or otherwise prepare the decedent outside of basic sanitary care.
For families who prefer a highly-personalized service or do not have a clergy member to officiate, we offer the service of trained Celebrants. Our Celebrant will meet with your family and create an event that is personalized and will be truly memorable. Our Celebrant Service is available to both faith-based and non-church affiliated families and may take place in one of our chapels, at the cemetery or other location. Our Celebrants are life tribute professionals and can incorporate any number of ideas into the ceremony including:
Music and Songs (live and taped) • Candles • Photos, Picture Boards and Videos • Balloon Release • Eulogies, Religious or Spiritual Readings and Poems • Family Stories and Remembrances

Nationwide Coverage and Protection Plan $325
If death occurs outside of our service area while traveling, additional transportation and third-party funeral home fees will apply unless Nationwide Coverage and Protection Plan is selected and fully funded at the time of pre-arrangement. Our Nationwide Plan only covers individuals who pass away outside our service area and if death occurs outside the State of their legal residence as listed on the death certificate. Nationwide Coverage and Protection Plan is not a trusted amount, cannot be refunded, and takes effect immediately once paid in full. If the contract is cancelled, transferred or Nationwide Coverage and Protection Plan is not used, it cannot be refunded or used as an offset against any balance due at the time of services. In order to be in effect, the family must call us at the time of death so that we can contact a funeral home in our network. If the family contacts another funeral home directly, or if the deceased’s legal residence is outside our service area, the plan is not valid. Please refer to our Supplemental Price List for pricing on a range of services when we were not the arranging funeral home.
