Does the price I am quoted by Foster & McGarvey include everything?
The answer to that question is no, but please allow us to explain. At Foster & McGarvey, our Funeral Directors provide detailed information regarding professional fees and costs related to selected merchandise, as well as any cash disbursements. We don’t believe or allow last-minute, surprise hidden charges. When meeting with a family for either advance-arrangements and/or actual funeral arrangements the Funeral Director will itemize each selected service, merchandise and cash disbursements and give the next-of-kin time to review and agree to the charges prior to them being rendered. The following is a limited list of services or merchandise that may or may not be required: urn; casket; minister/celebrant; organist/soloist; catering; facility rental; flowers; obituaries; cemetery; vault/grave-liner; picture enlargements; and DVD picture tributes.
