Includes the use
of the preparation room, equipment and materials involved in
performing the embalming process. Embalming is a chemical treatment with
preservatives of human remains in order to retard decomposition or decay. Except
in certain cases, the law does not require embalming. Embalming may be necessary,
however, if you select certain funeral arrangements such as: a funeral with viewing,
or if the deceased is to be sent across state boundaries in a common carrier, or the
receiving state may require embalming to be performed beforehand. If you do not
want the embalming service, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement
that does not require you to pay for it, such as: direct cremation or direct burial.
Embalming performed by California licensed embalmer.

Many families wish
us to provide the Rabbi/Cantor with the honorarium for the
services they perform. This make one less detail for the family to have to concern
themselves with at this difficult time. The California Board of Rabbi's has suggested a
set fee for their services. We include this fee on our contract and present the officiant
with a check at the time of service. Of course, the family may deal directly with the
Rabbi/Cantor if they prefer.
