How can CBS offer such a high quality service at a fraction of the typical cost?
• Funeral homes have very high fixed overheads. Viewing rooms, parking lots, morgue facilities and show rooms at elegant properties set in attractive areas cost large sums. Light, heat, insurance, salaries, benefits, taxes must all be paid, along with maintaining hearses, limousines, flower cars and the like. CBS does not carry the financial burden of a funeral home and has none of these expenses. Our affiliated funeral homes and licensed funeral directors work on a contract fee per assignment making our fixed overheads negligible. Nonetheless our contracts and services must not be considered ‘cheap’. It is our industry knowledge, inherent savings and buying power that makes our prices fair and reasonable.
