The goods and services enclosed are those we provide to our customers. You may choose only the items you desire. However, any funeral arrangements you select will include a charge for our basic services and overhead. If legal or other requirements mean you must buy item(s) you did not specifically ask for, an explanation will be included on your statement. This statement lists and describes all funeral goods and services you selected.
The law does not require embalming except in certain cases. However, at McCullough, we require the embalming of remains when there will be over 24 hours before disposition, an open viewing or in the case of certain infectious diseases.
There are no laws requiring an outer burial container for interment within the state of Georgia. However, nearly all-perpetual care cemeteries do require some type of rigid container. Many private and church cemeteries are adopting this policy.
Neither a sealed type casket nor sealed type outer burial containers are designed for the long-term preservation of their contents. Their purpose is to keep outside elements from getting into their interiors. McCullough Funeral Home neither provides nor implies any additional warranty on the casket or outer burial containers purchased other than what is provided in writing by the manufacturer.
It is our desire to serve you in every manner possible in your time of need. We want you to know of the additional services we offer and we urge you to take advantage of them. The following services we provide at no additional cost to you are:
- Filing Insurance Claims
- Filing Veteran's Benefits
- Notary Public
Due to the fact that we are not able to finance funerals, the acceptable payment arrangements are listed below:
- Advanced Pre-Paid Funeral Plan
- An Assignable Insurance Policy
- Check or Cash
- Credit Card
- Bank approved financing with your local bank
- We also offer Family Assistance financing provided by MBNA bank upon approval
Our reputation has been built by providing the kind of service that meets the need of every family. If you can think of anything that would improve our service to you, please be sure to tell us. Thank you for your confidence in McCullough Funeral Home.
