A final invoice for the full balance will be issued 7 days following the funeral and is required to be paid within a calendar month.
This does not apply to our ‘Direct Cremation’  and ‘Simple Attended’ package, or the CMA Standardised Funeral which must be paid in full at the time of arranging the funeral.
In certain cases, where very expensive imported caskets are selected, or disbursements are very high, we may ask for certain elements to be paid prior to the funeral.
