I'm not even going to get into how atrocious some of these fees are.
Here's the receipt:

Yeah, looking at that, it appears that everyone who should have been compensated was fairly compensated. $295 per limo for what was likely less than a couple of hours of work for the driver should be more than enough (and the driver was likely a fulltime employee of the funeral home anyway). The Honorarium for the clergy is there, so that's taken care of.
For things like the flower delivery and the catering, it's likely that the funeral director recommended using specific companies and they would have a negotiated rate in place and pass on an all-in price to the family that would include any service fees.
I'm curious what you're getting for the $125 fraud protection services and why it costs $400 to put the obituary on their website.
