.: Welcome to our pricing information

A WORD OF EXPLANATION REGARDING THIS PRICE LIST:

The Price Family is pleased to offer two methods by which services may be selected. You may consider our standard itemized listing of services, selecting exactly those services desired. An alternative method offered only in conjunction with the purchase of the casket from Price Funeral Chapel, Inc., is to select one of our packages of services which are offered at significantly reduced rates.

Families who desire to select services, facilities, equipment and staff based upon the following itemized listing must begin with our “Basic Services Of Funeral Director & Staff”. You may then add any other selections you desire from the listing that follows. If any questions arise, please feel free to speak with us.

CONSUMER INFORMATION THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

The goods and services shown below are those 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. This price list does not include prices for certain items that you may ask us to purchase for you, such as cemetery or crematory expenses, flowers and newspaper notices. The price for those items will be itemized on your “Statement of Funeral Services & Goods Selected”. A complete price list of caskets and outer burial containers will be provided by the Price Funeral Chapel, Inc.

We want you to be aware of the benefits of embalming. You should know that embalming provides sanitation, restoration of appearance and complexion and temporary preservation of the body. We welcome your questions regarding the preparation and care of the body. Chapter 12 of Title 16 of the California Administrative Code requires that a body held by the funeral director longer than 24 hours must be embalmed or refrigerated. The Price Funeral Chapel, Inc. offers both of these services.
If you want to arrange for an “Immediate Burial” or “Direct Cremation”, you can use an unfinished wood box or alternative container. Alternative containers are rigid, leak-proof and may be made of composition materials or heavy cardboard.

Traditionally, revenue for a mortuary has been generated from service fees and a modest margin on the casket sale. Families who elect to use an outside casket provider may select their services from our standard itemized pricing which reflect the true cost of providing those services without the revenue generated by the casket sale. Families who purchase their casket from Price Funeral Chapel, Inc. are entitled to the benefit of selecting from our packages of services which are offered at significantly reduced rates. Third party caskets must be delivered during regular business hours at least 24 hours in advance of scheduled a ceremony involving the casketed remains.

Prior to drafting any contract for goods or services, the responsible party or the decedent’s survivor who is handling the funeral arrangements is entitled to receive a copy of any preneed agreement in the possession of the funeral establishment that has been signed and paid for, in full or in part, by or on behalf of the decedent.
