----- NOTES -----
Codes on 1
st
page; N/A means they do not offer this service; + means will not require visit to mortuary and can do all
business by fax, phone & mail. Alameda Family will need next of kin to come in for a final arrangement conference. Rush
jobs, sales taxes, death certificates, obituaries, or witnessed cremations will cost extra. Look at their General Price List.
Mortuaries without on-site funeral chapels are Bay Area CFS, Beddingfield, Cunningham’s, and San Jose FS. Funeral
and memorial services can be held at churches, cemetery chapels, homes, or other locations if you desire.
Bodies may be stored and/or embalmed at a different location than the mortuary’s listed address. Minimum caskets
are included for ground burial. Most cremation containers (included) are heavy cardboard and hold up to 240 lbs. A more
costly container and higher crematory fee can be expected for heavier persons. Also included: a plastic or cardboard container
for cremated remains, all transportation. The mortuary personnel will wash and dress the body for B1 and B2 plans for an
additional fee. It is included in B3. Payment polices of each mortuary may differ, ask.
If you wish to know how to conduct a family do-it-yourself type funeral, ask for information at the FCA office.
---- SOME COMMON EXTRA CHARGES FOR MORTUARY SERVICES ----
If you deviate from the five package plans arranged especially for FCA members, expect to pay the prices on the regular
public price list. We recommend you communicate with the funeral home and examine its General Price List as we don’t
have room here to list all the possible extra charges that may apply. Here are some common ones.
