Service of Funeral Home and Staff - $1,595.00
Includes is local removal, sheltering remains, securing legal paperwork &
transportation to and from the crematory.
Cremation Process - $315
This is the fee for the cremation process. Due to zoning restrictions, a
building in a residential area can not perform cremations. The cremation
process is done at either a cemetery or in an industrial area. We have
chosen to use Acacia Park Cemetery, located in Chicago.

This is one of the permits that we need to obtain before the cremation
can occur.
Cremation Container - $80
This is the alternative container that the remains are placed in for
transportation to, and handling at, the crematory. This is not a casket,
but a wood bottomed container with corrugated sides and top. It can be
clearly marked with the deceased name.
Sales Tax on Cremation Container - $8
The state of Illinois charges sales tax on all merchandise we sell. Our
tax rate is 10%.
Temporary Urn - No Charge
The remains are placed in a silver metal container that is wrapped
within a cardboard box. If you would like a more decorative urn, or an
urn that can be used for burial, one can be provided at an additional
cost.
