If you're in Queens, Brighton Beach, Forest Hills, Los Angeles or Chicago and arranging grave care in Uzbekistan, you need pricing in USD with USD-currency invoices for your records. This article: practical USD pricing.
The NYC benchmark. The established Queens Bukharian community pricing is around $275/year for twice-weekly visits with photo reports. This is the «street price» that has held remarkably steady for 20+ years because the community is large enough to set a market norm.
Our USD price levels. Seasonal subscription (4 visits/year) — $250–400. Regular subscription (12 visits/year, monthly) — $300–600. Premium (24 biweekly) — $500–900. Full (48 weekly) — $700–1200. These match or beat the NYC norm while delivering identical service quality.
Why USD-currency billing matters. (1) Avoids forex confusion — your statement matches your invoice. (2) Simplifies tax records if needed. (3) Stable budgeting — UZS/USD exchange volatility doesn't affect your billing. We bill in USD on request.
Payment methods optimized for US diaspora. Visa/Mastercard via the cabinet (2% processing fee). Zelle through our US representative (no fee, fastest). SWIFT for $1000+ amounts ($25-50 flat fee, beats card processing on larger amounts). Apple Pay via cabinet.
What's specifically tuned for US Bukharian families. Yahrzeit auto-scheduling per Hebrew calendar (no manual reminder needed). Pre-Rosh Hashanah Kever Avot visit included in 12+/year subscriptions. Coordination with NYC Chevra Kadisha for ceremonial elements when needed. Reports in English plus optional Russian translation.
Hidden cost protection. Our USD prices are flat; no «extras on arrival». If anything beyond plan arises (e.g., a fallen tree needs clearing), we confirm cost in writing before executing. Annual price changes are capped at 5–8% inflation; we notify 60 days ahead.
