Understanding Your Processing Statement
Processing statements can change over time, and some processors may introduce new or updated fees that appear as additional line items on merchant statements. These changes are not always clearly communicated and can be easy to overlook.
Aurora Payments offers complimentary statement reviews to help members better understand their current fees, identify changes that may have been implemented over time, and get clear, straightforward answers to billing questions. There is no obligation — the goal is transparency.

Funeral Home Payments FAQs
Does Aurora specialize in payment processing for funeral homes?
Yes. Aurora offers payment solutions tailored to the unique needs of funeral and death-care services. We support high-ticket transactions, provide next-day funding, and work closely with leading national and state-based funeral directors and crematory associations to stay aligned with industry best practices.
Can families split the cost of services across multiple payers?
Absolutely. Aurora Payments offers solutions that make it easy for siblings or other family members to each cover a portion of the cost.
How can Aurora eliminate or offset credit card fees?
Aurora supports a number of Zero Cost Procession options like dual pricing and compliant surcharging that allow Funeral Homes to pass credit card fees to customers who choose that payment method, while offering ACH or cash at no added cost. Many funeral homes see dramatic reductions in card processing after the first billing cycle.
What payment methods and equipment does Aurora support?
Aurora's funeral home POS systems accept all major credit and debit cards, ACH, digital wallets, and both in-person and remote invoices. You can choose countertop or customer-facing touchscreen terminals, along with mobile readers for off-site services. All Aurora Payments devices are EMV, contactless, and PCI compliant.
Can directors send payment links or does Aurora offer invoicing instead of taking cards over the phone?
Yes. Funeral homes can send branded payment links by email or text, create QR codes or send a branded invoice through Aurora's ARISE platform.
