What Determines Costs

• THERE is a natural desire that the
last tribute to a loved one be as fine
and tender and dignified as possible
—but remember these things are not
dependent on price alone. , Whatever
budget limitations circumstances dic-
tate, there is no stinting of our per-
sonal services. The ultimate cost de-
pends on the service you select—
which means that you and you alone
control expenditures. You can dis-
cuss your financial circumstances with
us freely with the sure knowledge it
will be held in strictest. confidence.
