Profile: Bernard Suess Funeral Home
Bernard Suess Funeral Homeprovides complete funeral services to the Perkasie community. Jeffrey Gahman is the supervisor of this location. Certain items that you may ask us to buy for you, such as cemetery costs, honorariums, flowers and newspaper notices, etc. are considered cash advances. We are happy to cover these items in advance for you in order to lessen your burden during this time. Unfortunately, we are not a lending institution, and it does take considerable resources to do this. We charge a nominal fee (10% of the cash advance value) in order to facilitate this service. We will gladly remove this charge when the funeral services are paid within 30 days of the date of the funeral
