Direct Burial

A direct burial is very simple. Our Funeral Home picks up the deceased, prepares the Death Certificate and obituary, and arranges burial at the cemetery ASAP for $1,050.  The family may or may not be present at the interment. No embalming is performed. If death occurs on a Friday evening (for example) this may require refrigeration of the body because most States require the body to be refrigerated, embalmed or cremated quickly (usually within 24-48 hours). Refrigeration costs $50-100 per day usually. The cost of caskets (beginning at $495) and grave vaults (beginning at $645) and gravemarkers (optional – beginning at approx. $150) are additional. Cemetery charges are also additional (i.e. the cost of the grave and the cost of “opening and closing” the grave). Sometimes cemeteries charge extra for late, or Saturday or holiday interments.

Note: Not all “direct burials” are for “lower-income” families. For example, in Prairie Village, KS retired Pastor Robert H. Meneilly, pastor of Village Presbyterian Church (well-to-do neighborhood) set up the tradition of direct burials for his parishioners (usually trying to be at the interment himself), followed by a very large and elaborate memorial service at the Church. Even the rich can avoid expensive funerals!

Direct Cremation

Similar to Direct Burial. Our Funeral Home picks up the deceased, obtains permits for the cremation, processes the Death Certificate and obituary, and arranges for the actual cremation for $850. We also return the cremains to the family. There will be no surprise charges for minimal containers before or after the cremation. The cost of urns, more extensive obituaries, Death Certificate charges by the County or State, etc. are additional. The family may arrange for any sort of Memorial Service or Celebration they wish, afterward; as the Funeral Home does not have to be present.

Note: Church Funeral Associates has an arrangement for sending “ashes to orbit” if you are interested. See “SPECIALS.”
