1. The fee for going to a cemetery to take gravestone photos is $10 per cemetery (my hourly rate as it takes time to find the stones in the cemetery), PLUS MILEAGE! (Mileage rate is the standard rate put forth by the IRS currently .51 per mile). Mileage refers to the miles traveled from my current location in Lenox, Massachusetts to the research location. Clients are not charged the hourly research fees for travel time. Mileage charges will not be waived. IF MULTIPLE CEMETERIES ARE INVOLVED FEES ARE FOR EACH CEMETERY I HAVE TO GO TO !!.

2. I have access to an index which means I'll only go to a cemetery if there is something to be found there. This keeps me from charging you for "nothing". If I can't find your person in the index, it probably means there is no longer a stone standing. I will let you know if this is the case. There is NO CHARGE if I don't take any photos!. If I get to a cemetery your people are "listed to be in" and find nothing (some inventories were taken many years ago and some stones have since disappeared), you will not be charged unless I have traveled outside of Berkshire County in which case all fees apply. For trips outside of Berkshire County I will however, do my best to try to find out if there is a stone or stones to photograph and I will contact you to discuss my findings before travel takes place.

3. This is PER REQUEST!!. Meaning, if you send me a request, and I get ANOTHER request a month later, the same fee schedule applies. This is why it is best to try to do it all at once. I try to get each request done in one trip so that am not spending all week putting gas in my car!.

4. Images can be put on CD for an additional charge of $15. This includes cost of mailing.
