We are pleased to provide you with a full disclosure of our Professional Service Charges.
To help you understand Funeral Costs, we have prepared an outline of the categories that make up a funeral bill. There are basically four sections that make up the total funeral account: Casket & Merchandise Selections, Professional Service Charges, Cash Disbursements and unfortunately the government imposed taxes on merchandise items.To aid consumers, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulates that all funeral homes must provide an itemized price list of all of their related charges.
Professional Service Charges as well as casket and merchandise charges. This list must be available at consumers' request without cost or obligation.
We pride ourselves on always being one of the most reasonably priced funeral homes in the area, although many expect our charges to be much higher given the level of professionalism, quality of facilities and ethical standards. Consumers and families finally can learn first hand that there is a difference and families need not fall into the trap of traditional loyalty many funeral homes attempt to count on. Today, being good is not good enough.
We trust that this service will give you one more reason to give the Pettett Funeral Home serious consideration when seeking a funeral home that is pro-actively working towards providing you the highest standards of services and facilities while offering sensible and affordable solutions.
