Payment Policy

Losing someone you love is a devastating experience. It can be very traumatic and seriously impact one’s judgement. Therefore, it is important to be realistic with respect to funeral expenditures.

One of the most important responsibilities we have to each family we are priviledged to serve is to listen and bring your emotional and financial needs together, whatever the circumstances may be. We do not want your choices to be more than is affordable, nor less then you would like to arrange. 

We will listen to your needs. We pride ourselves on not offering “packages” where families are only allowed to purchase from those packages and may not want or need something that is included in that package. We prefer to offer a range of a la carte services and merchandise so that families are only selecting those items which they desire. 

We understand the importance of a meaningful service and are here to assist you in any way we can. As part of our consultation with your family, we will discuss the different available payment options. Our goal is to ensure that the services and merchandise you select will be in keeping with your wishes, as well as your budget. 

Wiedeman Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc., has established the following uniform payment policy. This payment policy enables us to keep the cost down for all the families we serve, as well as treat everyone fairly.
