Is this another bait and switch?

No switch and bait practice here. You can have a guilt-free affordable funeral. We must inform you of all your choices. Many casket warehouse type businesses are associated with funeral homes that they may or may not own, but they don't tell you that upfront. We are different. We want you to know that you can get an affordable funeral with no added costs "Not One Penny More."

We accept life and burial insurance as well as credit cards and cash for payment of services. Pictures of caskets and urns are on this site to make it easier to email casket and urn photos to relatives and loved ones. We believe email can help families, friends and loved ones communicate across the miles. We also believe that email is a way for individuals to make important decisions for themselves and others. We will respectfully discuss Life Insurance and Pre-need (prepaid burial) insurance.
