We believe everyone deserves an opportunity to make final
arrangements in advance, calmly and sensibly, without
emotional or financial burdens. Today more Americans
are learning the value of planning ahead. We spend much of
our time and money making sure we're prepared for life's
uncertainties. Here at Hardy and Son Funeral Homes online
we make it possible for you to view our services in advance
in privacy.
Our General Services List
You will note that we offer Personalized Service Program
packages. The funeral director handling your arrangements
will further explain our Personalized Service Program Packages.
The goods and services shown in the following 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 service and overhead. If
legal or other requirements mean you must buy any item you
did specifically ask for, we will explain the reason in writing on
the statement we provide describing the funeral goods and
services you selected. Prices are not listed due to laws
governing the advertising practices of the funeral industry.
Basic Services of Funeral Director and Staff
Our services include, but is not limited to, a proportionate
share of the taxes, licenses, utilities and business expenses
necessary to service the public in a professional manner.
Also included in this charge is the consultation with the
family, clerical and administrative services, preparation
and filing of the necessary permits, consultation with the
clergy, cemetery, crematory or common carriers, planning
funeral, and placement of obituary notices. There will be
an additional charge for the direction and supervision of
each service requested or required. This fee for our basic
services, 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
or immediate burials and forwarding of receiving of remains.)
Embalming
Embalming is a chemical process that provides
temporary preservation of the body and eliminates
certain health hazards. A person licensed by this state
must complete this procedure. Except in certain special
cases, law does not require embalming. Embalming may
be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral
arrangements, such as 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 of immediate burial.
