To the families we serve,
The following price list meets the necessary requirements of the funeral pricing required by the Federal Trade Commission. While there are very specific language and disclosures required from the FTC, we have included additional information in more comprehensible terms. It is our hope that we help the consumer become educated and not intimidated.
All Faiths of the Pines was founded to give families in the Bastrop, Fayette and Caldwell areas an affordable alternative for funeral and cremation services, without sacrificing dignity or value. Our staff concentrates on providing service options, service assistance and merchandise items necessary to help Celebrate a Life lived. We are the consumers' answer to the high prices found in the other "traditional" funeral service establishments. It is our goal to bring cost savings and affordability to families in their time of need.
All Faiths of the Pines is locally owned and operated. We are prepare to offer a wide array of services including traditional funeral and cremation services, memorial services and shipping of remains to other cities and foreign countries. We do not take lightly the confidence that you place in us to take care of your loved one during a time of need.
A Funeral Home Staff member will call to arrange an appointment time for you.
The Arrangement Meeting...
Our funeral home staff is here to assist you during this difficult time. We are aware there are many difficult decisions and hope that you call upon our experience and dedication in helping you memorialize your loved one. It is our sincere desire to help you plan services which will honor your wishes and help commemorate the life of your loved one.
During the arrangement meeting, we will ask you several questions that may require some research. Some of these include...
- Legal name of the decedent
- Name as it should appear in the obituary
- Place and date of birth of the decedent
- Occupation most of life
- Social Security Number
- Decedent's father's name
- Decedent's mother's name
- Church, club, memberships or affiliations
- Pallbearers Names
- Obituary information
- Decedent's education level
This information is used for Death Certificates, Obituary and service related information. All Faiths of the Pines Funeral Home will compose an obituary with the information you provide. However, many families choose to compose their own personal obituary. All Faiths of the Pines Funeral Home will gladly assist you in submitting your obituary to the newspaper(s) of your choice.
You should bring with you...
- Clothing for your loved one, including undergarments
- Appropriate jewelry (Will it be left with decedent?)
- Insurance or other important documents you would need assistance with
- If decedent was a veteran, a copy of the military discharge or DD214. The Funeral Director can help you file for available benefits such as a burial flag, Veteran's grave marker and burial benefits if eligible.
Our Funeral Home has the ability to provide your family with a Video Memorial Tribute. This is useful as a keepsake and as a centerpiece production in conjunction with many types of funeral and memorial services. Whether the memorial be held publicly or privately, we are certain this Video Memorial Tribute is a memento to be cherished for generations.
If you desire us to assist you with the Video Memorial Tribute, we ask that you bring 18 to 36 still photos and a music track appropriate to accompany the DVD presentation.
