Several options are available with planning funeral services and we encourage you to visit with us and discuss your individual preferences. Through listening to your needs we can assist you in planning a meaningful and affordable service that honors and celebrates the life that has been lived. We are devoted to serving your family with integrity, honesty, and respect for your individual and unique wishes. We also provide exclusive use of our facilities during visitations and services, another way we offer comfort to your family.

This form helps provide a general idea of what to expect in terms of the costs associated with funeral services. Again, we encourage you to make an appointment to discuss your wishes and inspect our facility. If you have questions you can also call us at any time.

Merchandise
The merchandise section of funeral expenses most often includes a casket, outer burial container (vault/grave liner) and printed items such a register book, memorial folders and thank you cards. Additional items such as DVD’s, personalized casket panels and prayer cards are also available. Please ask for details. (Our printed packages range from $175 to $255 plus MN sales tax.)

Casket Prices
$750 - $7,000
We strive to offer a nice selection at all levels and carry several caskets on hand for your inspection.
(A complete casket price list is available at the funeral home.)

Outer Burial Container Prices
$950 - $3,175                                                                                                                   In most areas of the country, state or local law does not require that you buy a container to surround the casket in the grave. However, many cemeteries require that you have such a container so that the grave will not sink in. Either a grave liner or a burial vault will satisfy these requirements.
(A complete outer burial container price list is available at the funeral home.)

Cash Advance Items
Cash advance items are other expenses related to the funeral, but not funeral home charges. These include things such as cemetery expenses, obituary expense in newspapers that charge, flowers, honorariums or gifts for people participating in the service or providing services, certified copies of the death certificate, etc. These items vary widely and we recommend meeting with you to discuss these based on your preferences.

Optional Catering Packages
Our funeral home offers catering packages ranging from appetizers or a coffee bar during the visitation to a catered lunch or dinner after the service. Please see the catering package price list for details.
