Cash Advance Charges

Cash Advance Funeral Charges

Whether your family chooses a funeral, cremation, or burial, there may be additional costs known as Cash Advance Charges, or third-party charges. These are not funeral home fees, but as a convenience, we pay these third-party providers upfront on your behalf, and the charges are then added to your funeral home contract.


The prices listed below are estimates for the local Bryan-College Station area and are subject to change. Please note that some funeral homes may mark up these costs, while others do not. See estimated prices below:
