The goods and services shown below are those we can provide to our customers. You may choose only the items you desire.

REGISTRATION and MEMBERSHIP
Completion of the simple Registration and Authorization form enables prompt fulfillment of the member's instructions at the time of death. A membership card is issued and a permanent file is maintained at the Society office. This fee defrays the cost of setting up and maintaining your records. It is not refundable nor an offset to final service cost.
| SINGLE MEMBERSHIP | $50.00 |
| COUPLE MEMBERSHIP | $90.00 |
| The following are current fees to be charged for service rendered at the time of death. Unfortunately because of inflation, these prices will increase during future years. However, you do have the opportunity to pay the cost at today's prices by depositing the necessary funds in the Cremation Society of Illinois' master Trust plan. Thus, future services are guaranteed and fully paid for the rest of your life. Information concerning the trust plan may be obtained from our Society office. |
| DIRECT CREMATION* |
| This charge includes: transfer of the remains to our facility, necessary services of staff, care of body, local transportation to the crematory, and cremation service charge. This charge does not include visitation, rites or ceremonies prior to cremation of the remains. (An additional charge of $1.50 per mile driven in excess of 30 miles from any of our locations will be added.) If you want to arrange a direct cremation, you can use an alternative container. Alternative containers encase the body and can be made of materials like fiberboard or composition materials (with or without an outside covering). The minimum container we provide is fiberboard. |
