What is the purpose of alternative price lists?

The purpose of alternative price lists is to cater to specific situations such as children or indigent persons. This approach ensures that all individuals, regardless of their financial situation or the specific circumstances surrounding a death, have access to necessary funeral services. By having special pricing arrangements in place, funeral homes can accommodate families facing financial hardships or those who may require different types of services due to the nature of the decedent.

Creating alternative price lists provides flexibility within the funeral service industry and supports the ethical practice of providing services to all segments of the community. This is especially important as it aligns with the broader mission of funeral service professionals to serve and honor the deceased and their families, regardless of their economic status.
