The fee includes personnel available 24/7 to respond to an initial call for service; your first meeting with a funeral director (arrangement conference); coordination of clergy, cemetery or crematory, and other parties involved with the final disposition of the deceased; and clerical staff for securing and recording the death certificate and disposition permit.
