“ Much of the work that the Funeral Director does is discreet and is not always readily apparent. “

Disbursements are essentially fees that are initially paid out on behalf of the family. These include Doctors Fees, Crematoria/Cemetery fees, Parochial fees, Newspaper announcements, and printing of Orders of Service.

Our written estimate will detail the approximate costs of any disbursements. However, as we have no direct control over these charges, there could be slight variations from the estimate.

We kindly ask that in the case of cremation, the crematoria fees are paid in advance, and in the case of burial, all appropriate fees are paid in advance also - such as the purchase of a new plot, reopening of an existing plot etc. The remaining disbursements such as doctors and ministerial fees are then added to the final invoice.

Please call or visit us to find out what the current disbursement fees are.
