Pre-Planning
Why pre-arrange a funeral?
By pre-arranging your funeral, you relieve your family of having
to make important financial decisions during a period of great
stress and grief--a time when people aren't thinking very clearly
and may not know what to do because you never made your wishes
known.
It's easy to say, "Don't make a fuss. I don't want a ceremony.
Just bury me and be done with it." But it is important to realize
that the ritual of a funeral and/or memorial service isn't for the
deceased but for the living. It is a time when friends and family
can gather together to grieve openly and to provide support for one
another.
Pre-arranging your funeral can be very informal, and as simple
as jotting down your preferences and sharing your wishes with a
family member. More formal arrangements in the form of a preneed
contract can be set up with us and can be pre-funded through life
insurance, bank trust agreement, or another method.
Pre-arrangements, when done properly, can give you peace of mind
because you know that your arrangements are ready and
pre-funded.
By pre-arranging your funeral, you can:
- make all the arrangements during a time of peace and not leave
them to your family during their time of grief;
- make your wishes known;
- control the cost of your funeral and protect from
inflation;
- ensure that personal records are organized and easy for your
survivors to locate;
- protect your insurance so that it provides for your survivors
and not for funeral expenses; and
- provide protection in case the need arises before it is
expected.

you would like the funeral home to contact you.
