Service Charges

UNDERSTANDING SERVICE CHARGES

We are pleased to provide you with a full disclosure of our Professional Service Charges.

To help you understand Funeral Costs we have prepared an outline of the categories that make up a funeral account. There are basically four sections that make up the total funeral account: Casket & Merchandise Selections, Professional Service Charges, Cash Disbursements and government imposed taxes.  In Arkansas only Merchandise items are taxed.

To aid consumers, legislation provides that all funeral homes must provide an itemized price list of all of their related Professional Service Charges as well as casket and merchandise charges. This list must be available at consumers' request without cost or obligation. 

We pride ourselves on always being one of the most reasonably priced funeral homes in the area.  We encourage all to compare our personal and professional service, our comfortable new facilities, and certainly price.  Consumers and families finally can learn first hand that there is a difference. Today, being good is not good enough.   We trust that this service will give you one more reason to give Lemley Funeral Service serious consideration when seeking a funeral home. We also honor all valid Burial and Life Insurance policies, and most Pre-Arranged Funeral policies.

CASKET & MERCHANDISE SELECTIONS

This section is specific to the casket that a family selects. All of our caskets and merchandise is priced separately - meaning the price you see for the casket is for the casket itself with no other items included that can often become confusing to families. Some of the other types of merchandise you might find in these section of the funeral account are: Burial Vaults, Cremation Urns, and upgraded Stationary packages. Again, each is itemized based on your selection and a total is itemized under the "Casket & Merchandise Selections.". 

CASH DISBURSEMENTS

Cash Disbursements are as they imply. To aid the families we serve, we will cover third party expenses.

Typical cash disbursements might include:

• Newspaper Obituary Photos and Notices
• Clergy or Musician Honorariums
• Cemetery Charges (Open and Close Grave, Tent, Chairs, and Cemetery Set-up)
• Certified Death Certificates
• Hairdresser Charge
