It is possible for those who have given little or no thought to funeral costs to make griev ous errors of judgment if loved one is suddenly taken. One common mistake is to think that lower prices arc paid for "Popular Priced' funerals. We never charge more, often less, than is paid for the so called "bargain" services.
