How
can Bayview charge so much less than societies or mortuaries? |
| Bayview
Cremation & Burial Services is locally-owned with over eighty
years experience in funeral service. We can offer average savings
of 60%, because we do not have the overhead many firms do, and we
do not have public stockholders. Many high-priced profit-motivated
companies hide under the cloak of another society or mortuary name.
If you cannot go to the location and meet the owner--then buyer, beware!

How does Bayview
operate? |
| First,
Bayview gathers information for the specific type of service requested
before or at the time of need. This information is secured in
our files and is NOT shared with other businesses. At the time
of need, one call to our trained caring professionals puts our services
in motion. Transfer of the deceased is made to our designated
facility whereupon, the physician then signs a death certificate,
the disposition permit is secured with the Health Department, and
the specific services you have requested are carried out. |
| |
|
Why do others charge
membership fees? |
| No
one should ever be talked into paying a membership fee. Unlike
burial and cremation societies, Bayview has no membership fee
and no preplanning charges. We provide service. We will
file your instructions at no cost. Look at our low prices to
see how much money you can save even if you already paid an unnecessary
membership fee to another company. |
| |
|
Can I switch to Bayview if I have a plan with
another company? |
| Yes,
just one call to our arrangement staff will set this simple process
in motion, and we will handle the details for you at no charge!
Many have already switched and saved hundreds of dollars. |
| |
|
Can I guarantee today's price for future need?
|
| Yes,
Bayview has prepayment plans that guarantee that our services and
merchandise will not increase in price. Only third party charges
will, i.e., cemetery, state tax, permits, etc. |
| |
|
What happens if I move from the area, or change
my mind? |
| The
money you prepaid will be placed in an insurance trust in accordance
with California law. You may choose another funeral service
company that accepts insurance, or cancel the policy. |
| |
|
Why do I need to plan arrangements now? |
| It
makes sense to plan for the inevitable now. Preplanning can
eliminate any confusion about one's wishes. Only in this way
can you be sure your wishes will be followed. Bayview has no
membership fees, and no preplanning charges. Filing your information
with Bayview is free, and you may also pay charges in advance to guarantee
our costs. |
| |
|
Will my wishes be carried out if I have no survivors?
|
| Yes,
by preplanning with Bayview your requests will be honored. |
| |
|
Who can answer additional questions that I
may have? |
| Bayview's
arrangement staff are trained, caring professionals who will be happy
to answer your questions. You may contact us by telephone, mail
or e-mail. |
