Disbursements

Disbursements are fees that have to be paid for things that are outside the control of the funeral director – examples are doctors’ charges or fees for church services and the minister or to buy a burial plot or interment fees.  Please note that your next of kin or estate may have to pay the balance for disbursements if your chosen plan includes only a contribution and the cost of disbursements is more than this amount.

Our Copper plan guarantees only the cost of a cremation and any doctor’s fees so there may be other costs that must be paid.

Our Zinc plan includes a contribution towards disbursements for both burials and cremations

Our Silver and Gold plans guarantee only the cost of a cremation and ministers’ fees so there may also be other costs that must be paid.  Silver and Gold plans include only a contribution toward disbursements if you choose a burial so it is possible that in this case, your estate or next of kin may need to settle the difference.
