WHAT TO DO FIRST

CALL House of Winston Mortuary AT (323) 757-2271 day or
night.

We take charge from then on and make all the arrangements for
conveying of the deceased to the local funeral home for
embalming and preparation for return to their home state. You
only need contact us with some basic information and call us when
you return to set a time for an arrangement conference. For us to
assume the costs as outlined, the death must have occurred in one
of the forty-eight contiguous states and you must call us direct so
we can engage our representatives at the place of death. (DO
NOT contact a funeral firm where the death occurs. WE MUST
DO THIS.)

The standard receiving policy in most other funeral homes is to
give you a credit for the embalming against their standard prices.
You must pay all other charges such as transfer casket, transfer
container, out-of-town funeral home facilities, professional and
staff services, transfer documents and transportation charges.
These costs can easily mount up to $1200 dollars or more,
depending on the cost of transportation and charges of the
out-of-town funeral home. Transportation costs differ and fees are
not uniform from funeral firm to funeral firm, so we cannot say
exactly how much this might be.

WHAT DO YOU SAVE?

We pay all most normal out-of-town costs except cash advances.
These normal charges include out-of-town removal service,
standard embalming, transfer of remains to airport, outer transfer
container, all documents for transfer and burial, out-of-town
funeral facilities, professional staff and services. This means your
only additional costs are transportation and transfer of remains to
the funeral home from the airport. Since we use a light weight
transfer casket and outer container we help to keep the air fare to
a minimum.

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL

If a family member dies while traveling outside the United States,
the U.S. Embassy will come to your assistance. You should call us
immediately when a death occurs abroad. We are well-versed in
the procedures for returning the deceased to the United States

OTHER CONDITIONS

If the death occurs outside of the forty-eight contiguous states or
your family has already engaged another funeral firm, House of
Winston Mortuary will apply liberal credits to services provided
by others when selecting one of our complete full-service funerals.
Our memberships in the National Funeral Directors Association
and National Funeral Directors and Morticians Association as well
as memberships in other national organizations provide us with
funeral service contacts world wide.
