* NOTES
  1. GPL is available online at this funeral home’s website and is up to date.
  2. Description of services differs from definitions used by FCAWM (and FTC).  Be sure to read their General Price List (GPL) carefully; the discrepancies could be to your advantage, or not.
  3. Ownership is non-local. (Some funeral homes in our region are owned by corporations headquartered elsewhere – e.g., Carriage Services of Houston, TX;  Foundation Partners Group, Orlando, FL; or Milestone Partners, Maine.)
  4. What was submitted is not a GPL; it might be a Statement of Goods & Services Selected and Payment Agreement, or a Schedule of Basic Standard Package Services. The funeral home would be in violation of federal rules if this were given to someone in place of an actual General Price List. 
  5. Blank spaces indicate that the information was not provided in the GPL, or the funeral home did not send us a GPL.
