NBE Funeral Service Director

Answer: B - Obituary notices are not a component of the basic service fee charged for a funeral.

The basic service fee will include those items that are customary to all funerals. These include (but not limited to), funeral planning services, obtaining permits for burial and death certificate and any costs associated with making arrangements for the funeral. Obituary notices would be paid for out of cash advances, which are fees for services outside of those provided by the funeral home.
