JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
II the United States we're ending the
current financial year with a surplus
of something like $I,OO0o0o, 900, the

South Africa's year closes with
surplus of Just $4,000, 900, which Is
a tremendous sum for a sparsely-

is only s150.000 900.

His Youth Reveals the Man

Young ARM Officer He Wrote Book
Twin-City herald., 1934-01-27

It has always been our honest
endeavOr to arrange a funeral as
economically as possible, consistent
with the constant demand for better
funeral establishments. .....
The Funeral Director today, who
does not return to the public some
portion of the profits which he re-
ceives from his services, does not
have the right to expect public
consideration and confidence. This
return, by the way, is represented
by the investment in dollars and
cents in the maintenance of a mod
ern establishment; the amount of
money the Director returns to the
community in taxes, donations to
churches, memberships in fraternal
groups and public and individual
charities. All these things must
be governed by the return from the
community which the Funeral Di-
rector serves.
The cost of a complete funeral
from the Neal Funeral Home is
based on a very definite system. A
bOOkkeeper is regularly employed
to keep a record of every dollar re-
ceived and expended. A certified
accountant is called in semi-annual-
Iy to analyze the business, giving a
detailed statement of profit or loss,
so that the management might in
telligently price the complete
funeral.
1t must be remembered that no
business can succeed without a rea-
sonable profit. By the Neal Funeral
Home method the clients pay only
for such services as they receive.
Any other method is a decided fail
ure, and works a hardship on both
the client and the business.
We have stated before that the
price for funeral service is stan
dardized by conditions just the
same as the charges of your family
physician. A medical student grad

ceiving his degree, hanging up his

agent for him. After berating me
sufficiently for that, he started to
moan about how someone had walked
off with his overcoat a few nights
before, and about what he was going
to do if he caught the thief. AS soon
as had extended my sympathy, and
had also promised to see that he got
a line or two in this weeks column,
Jack bid me farewell and went to
search for additional consolation.
That's the way with him. he's either

The
Truth About a Twin City Institution
The Neal Funeral Homes
THE COST OF THE FUNERAL

shingle receives the same fee as
the experienced practitioner who
has spent years in his chosen pro-
fessi0n. The Funeral Director who
has no investment in establishment
or employees charges you the same
for his services as the well estab-
lished mOrtician with his large in
vestment and long experience.
The Funeral Director with the
modern establishment depends on
a volume of business to meet this
competitor. Might We explain for
fear of misunderstanding, that the
Funeral Director with small invest
ment and few calls must charge the
same as the Funeral Director with
large investment and greater
number of calls.
FOR EXAMPLE,: The Friendly
Service Funeral Home, with an in
vestment of $4,000, having 100
funerals in 1888, had an overhead
of $4,000 for the year. The cost
to the Funeral Director is $1OO per
funeral plus the cost of merchan-
disc and the interest on the original
investment, which is usually 10
per cent.
This cost runs as high in our
modern city establishments. 1t is
only by efficient management that
the NEAL FUNERAL HOMES
have been able to serve the people
of the northwest at a much lower
rate than is prevalent in other
cities with larger Negro popu-
latiOns.
To sum up the entire question Of
prices we repeat that the modern
Funeral Director arrives at the
charge for individual service,
charge which usually ranges from
500 up by adding the overhead
cost, the cost of funeral supplies
furnished and all other items neces-
sary to make a complete funeral.
So, the modern Funeral Director
today, serves the complete funeral
and does not figure profit until the
end of the year.
