Currently, any services that occur outside of these hours are charged the Weekend and Overtime Burial Fee in addition to the Open and Close Fee. The Weekend and Overtime Burial Fee no longer covers the expense incurred by the department to come in after hours. Additionally, staff must mobilize equipment and utilize fuel to conduct the services. In the circumstances that after hours services occur, the fee will properly support the activities of the department allowing the Cemetery to continue to provide quality service to the citizens of Roswell. Mr. Esquivel said that due to the size of the increase, the department will work with the funeral homes to accommodate services during normal hours as much as possible. The department will also notify the funeral homes of the change and implement it accordingly. The current weekend and Overtime Burial Fee is $200. The proposed fee is $700. This will help to properly support the services being provided by the department when these services are conducted. In the future, the department will review its fees more regularly to ensure the fees are keeping pace with the expenses of the department.
