Immediate Burial
Includes removal of the body from the place of death, placement in a simple casket, and transportation of the body to a cemetery in the Chicago metropolitan area. (Does not include preparation or embalming of the body, or cemetery costs such as the cost of the plot, the vault, or opening and closing of the grave.)

Professional Fees

  • Add $400 for procession
  • Add $600 for open casket-viewing.

All plans include the necessary paperwork but do not include copies and cremation urns of the death certificate.

  • Other services, such as death certificates and filing of obituaries, are available at an extra charge, but can also be done by the family.

  • Families can order cremation urns or different caskets from the provider at an additional expense.

  • In some cases, the provider can arrange to have the service take place at a religious institution or other facility closer to the home of the deceased. The charge for this service varies.
