Professional Services

 

When funeral arrangements are made, a decision must be made on several other aspects of the funeral service. In the following pages you will find helpful information and choices on such items as: Professional services, preparation of deceased, visitation and services, vehicles and transportation, merchandise and other services and funeral package list.

The goods and services shown below are those we can provide to our customers.  You may choose only the items you desire.  However, any funeral arrangements you select will include a charge for our basic services and overhead. If legal or other requirements mean you must buy any items you did not specifically ask for, we will explain the reason in writing on the statement we provide describing the funeral goods and services you selected.

Preparations

       Embalming

Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law.  Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with a viewing.  If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial.  Utah State Law R436-8-3 Preservation of Bodies:  No human body may be held in any place or be in transit more than 24 hours after death and pending final disposition, unless either maintained at a temperature of not more than 40 degrees F (refrigerated) or embalmed by a licensed embalmer in a manner approved by the State Board of Embalming.  Refrigeration is available at our facility and may be arranged upon request.
