Goods & Services
1258.4 Statement of Disclosure of Preneed Agreement “Prior to drafting any contract for goods or services, the responsible party or the decedent’s survivor who is handling the funeral arrangements is entitled to receive a copy of any preneed agreement in the possession of the funeral establishment that has been signed and paid for, in full or in part, by or on behalf of the decedent.”
The goods and services shown in this document are what we provide. You may choose only the items you desire. However, any funeral arrangements you select will include a charge for our basic services and overhead. If legal or other requirements lead you to buy an item you did not specifically ask for, we will give a written explanation on the statement we provide describing funeral goods and services you did select.
Embalming
Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial.
The person with the right to control disposition must accept or decline embalming by signing a state approved form.
Additionally, a funeral establishment must refrigerate an un-embalmed body in its possession if burial, cremation, or hydrolysis does not take place within 24 hours.
As a practical matter, however, you may wish to authorize embalming if there is a delay before a public viewing. Keep in mind that neither embalming nor refrigeration prevents or stops the decomposition of a body. NOTE: A coroner may require embalming in certain circumstances.
Cremation Information
Cremation is the alternative to burial. It is a personal choice you make for your loved one. It is likely less expensive and offers flexibility with time and burial alternatives.
Cremations through Ivy Lawn Funeral Home have exclusive use of the private Ivy Lawn Crematory located on the grounds of Ivy Lawn’s cemetery in Ventura.
We provide you with an opportunity to be present at the crematory (witness cremation), staying during cremation or implementing an idea to create something special and make it part of the cremation. Additional fees and restrictions may apply.
