We are proud to offer various payment, funding and financing options to our clients. Further information from your funeral director is available upon request.
Unless otherwise specified, payment is due within 30 days of signing the contract. Payment may be made by cash, cheque or e transfer. Payment plans are also available to meet most budgets. Ask your funeral director for further information. Financing charges apply to payment plans. Beyond the allotted time, interest will be charged at a rate of 2% per month which is equivalent to 24% per annum (APR).
Our payment plans give you the option of making payments over time. We offer a competitive financing program, administration fees and interest rates. Ask your funeral director for further information.
For your convenience, we offer two funding options when prepaying services or supplies. When prepaying, you pay for the services and supplies today and the money will be used to pay for the services and supplies when they are delivered at the time of death.
Trust: You may pay the money directly to us and we will place it in trust, where it will accrue interest until the contract is fulfilled (when the services and supplies are delivered) or the contract is cancelled. Only Professional Services and merchandise may be prepaid in a trust-funded contract. Cash disbursements and other expenses are paid for later, at the time of need.
Insurance: You may purchase an insurance contract where the proceeds of the insurance contract will be used to pay for the services and supplies at the time they are delivered or the contract is cancelled. Professional Services, merchandise and any other expenses (contingency fund) may be prepaid in an insurance funded contract.
