Our discounted "Minimal Service Offerings", "Common Cremation Plans", and "Common Burial Plans" are "cash discount" offerings that are provided only when using a preferred method of payment. Due to the burden of fees associated with accepting all other forms of payment for Small Businesses like ours, a nominal adjustment, equal to three to four percent of the contract balance, of any applicable "cash discount" offering provided will be applied, and will therefore effect the total balance due on your Statement of Funeral Goods & Services Selected.
