We offer the finest, most modern, and most comfortable facilities in the metro area. You are welcome to visit any of our 7 locations at any time and see for yourself. 3. Consistently every year, we earn world-class ratings for overall satisfaction and value received on after-service surveys from the families we have served. 4. Our team procures death certificates quickly, in most cases within 5 business days from the date of death. Other companies eventually mail these to you. We pick these up because we know how important it is to get them quickly. 5. Our staff is the very best.

Dartmouth Ave. or Speer at Federal Blvd.] When can I visit it? [Anytime] How can you assure me that you cremate responsibly? [We cremate 1 person at a time in our own crematory, staffed by dedicated people who sign oaths attesting to their personal commitment to our high standards.] How much time does it take to complete a cremation process? [Because we operate our own crematories, we serve you more quickly usually within 3 business days of your authorization and the county s issuance of a permit.] 10. The Cremation Gardens at Rocky Mountain Memorial Park are the area s finest choices for permanent memorialization. Honor your loved one and give yourself and future generations a place that will provide inspiration and consolation to the living.

general price 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.

You may keep this price list. This list is copyrighted, subject to change, and may not be reproduced in whole or part without our express permission. Prices are effective as of 10-15-2014 and subject to change without notice. Professional Services A.

For practical reasons and to comply with Colorado law requiring embalming or refrigeration after 24 hours from the time of death, we are able to strategically place synthetic cooling packs. While much less effective than embalming and invoking more risk of evidence of physical deterioration, this can allow for the deceased to be present for *viewing and/or services in our facility where we are best able to manage any physical issues.

The Cremation Gardens at Rocky Mountain Memorial Parks Located adjacent to our Parker Road and County Line facilities, Rocky Mountain Memorial Parks have been referred to as an oasis of beauty and serenity, perfect for Coloradoans who prefer cremation. The environment is reminiscent of our Rocky Mountains. Large areas are set aside for the cultivation of flowering bushes, majestic tress and flowers native to our state, including the largest collection of columbines in our state. These are not-for-profit cemeteries, perpetually endowed and built with the best materials possible to endure the tests of time and nature. Scattering Ceremony at Mt. Lindo $575 This includes meeting our director on the day and time of your choice on private land above the lighted cross west of Denver. Spectacular views and vistas are seen from all points and afford a memorable opportunity to say goodbye. If you prefer that we scatter the cremated remains in this area unwitnessed and at our convenience, the charge is only $290. Add this fee to any cremation option. You may also select a memorial or inscription at either of our Rocky Mountain Memorial Parks. We can package, transport and mail cremated remains by U.S. Postal Service Express Mail (other carriers will not accept cremated remains) anywhere in the United States for $95 (add cost of urn). Express Mail is typically an overnight delivery in the continental U.S. Because we schedule our crematory days in advance, and due in part to the time involved in meeting the legal requirements of the death certificate and disposition permit, we ask for 3-4 days following death to complete the cremation process. Let us know if this creates difficulty we ll try our best to accommodate you. FINAL IDENTIFICATION OF THE DECEASED Cremation is an irreversible process. Where there is human involvement, there will always be the potential for human error. This can apply to hospital, coroner and mortuary staffs. To be safe and sure, for your peace of mind and ours, we highly recommend a positive identification of the deceased before cremation. In our memorial service and direct cremation option there is no embalming and only a limited time that the deceased may be transferred out of refrigeration and identified (refrigeration or embalming are required by state law 24 hours after death CRS 12-54-111). So that the deceased remains in an essentially refrigerated state, we respectfully request that the identification be for no more than 20 minutes from the time we agree to begin. In the interest of full disclosure while minimizing movement of the deceased, the identification occurs in the container that will shelter the deceased prior to cremation and will be later consumed in the cremation process. Identification viewings range from $0-$300. Receiving A Deceased Person From Another Mortuary $1585 MINIMUM DELIVERY TO CEMETERY This discounted package includes basic services of funeral director and staff (discounted to reflect already-secured death certificate/disposition permit and reduced involvement of other personnel), transfer to mortuary from airport or other point in the metro area, and the use of funeral coach or van to a local cemetery. This package presumes no ceremony and no other use of the funeral home and that we may deliver to the cemetery at the time of our choosing. Add to the fee of $1585 any additional services selected, such as graveside ceremony, other preparation dressing/ casketing, viewing/visitation and funeral service at chapel or church. If the forwarding arrangements to Denver are made directly by the family with a forwarding director, eliminating the need for our staff to meet and coordinate any details with the family, this discounted package will be further reduced by $175. Forwarding A Deceased Person To Another Mortuary $1965 MINIMUM TRANSFER This discounted package includes basic services of funeral director and staff, transfer to mortuary from place of death, embalming, use of funeral coach or van to local point of embarkation (airline or other shipping charges not included) and utility vehicle. Other items that may apply and could be added to the billing are a combination shipping container ($160) or air tray ($140). If the forwarding arrangements are made directly by the family with a receiving funeral director, eliminating the need for our staff to meet and coordinate any details with the family, this discounted package will be further reduced by $175. STANDARD TRANSFER VIEWING ONLY, NO FUNERAL SERVICE $2955 This discounted package includes basic services of funeral director and staff, transfer to mortuary from place of death, embalming, other preparation dressing/casketing, one day viewing/visitation, use of funeral coach or van to local point of embarkation (airline or other shipping charges not included) and utility vehicle. An air tray may be necessary ($140). We appreciate the survivor s choice to view when we provide other preparation dressing/casketing, so as to verify that our work in this regard is satisfactory and to avoid any additional charges by the receiving funeral director, eliminating the need for our staff to meet and coordinate any details with the family, this discounted package will be further reduced by $175. ~6~
Immediate Burial $2540 to $3835 Immediate burial is the process of arranging for burial of the unembalmed body as soon as possible. This service is preferred by members of the Jewish, especially Orthodox and Conservative, and Muslim faiths. We offer separate, specially configured facilities for ritual washing as dictated by the religious faiths we serve. Our staff is also fully knowledgeable in serving these faiths. Difficulties in filing a death certificate and securing the necessary legal permit immediately and/or a cemetery s inability to open a grave on short notice may require that the body be embalmed ($655) or refrigerated ($95 per day) so as to comply with State of Colorado health regulations requiring a sanitary disposition of the deceased within 24 hours (CRS 12-54-11). We include 4 days of refrigeration at no extra charge. The casket must stay closed at all times in order to comply with company policy and state law that the deceased be in a refrigerated state. The Immediate Burial options presume that we deliver the deceased to the cemetery for burial at the time of our choosing and that there is no viewing or commemorative gathering involved. A commemorative service, which increases staff time for planning and assistance, can be added see add items I. (graveside ceremony only $610) or H. (memorial ceremony only $660). Adding other service options, such as commemorative services at both the chapel/church and grave, requires full non-discounted itemization. This discounted package includes basic services of funeral director and staff, transfer to mortuary from place of death, other preparation, dressing/casketing, use of funeral coach to local cemetery and utility vehicle.
