Planning Ahead

Thinking about ones own funeral leaves most people feeling a little uneasy.  Yet most people find that planning their own service offers both emotional and financial security for their family and themselves.  This is an opportunity to provide for your funeral….ahead of time.  Advance planning gives you the consumer the opportunity to make an informed decision.  Why pre plan?  There are several key opportunities for your family in preplanning your funeral:

-Make Your Wishes Known  Your family does not have to guess what your wishes are when you share them in advance.  This eliminates difficult decisions which are made in advance thereby easing your loved ones responsibilities at the time of need.  Also, you can be assured you’ll get the service you have planned for.  This gives you the opportunity to express the wishes and details you desire.

-Personalize Your Service  Create a positive celebration of your life.  With preplanning, your family will be informed of all of your wishes.  This offers peace of mind to your family and yourself.  When you personalize your service, you create the funeral or memorial service you want:  Do you want a visitation the evening before the service?  Do you want special music?  Do you want a video tribute?  Do you want balloons or even doves released at the cemetery?  You commemorate the “real you”.

-Financial Security  When you preplan your funeral, you may also prepay your funeral.  This can be done through trusts or funeral insurance.  Our services and merchandise are fully guaranteed when prefunded.  This eliminates or minimizes  financial burdens on your family.  We will assist, explain and help plan which financial option is the best way to pre-pay your funeral.

Our directors will assist you in preplanning your funeral.  This can be done at the funeral home or in the privacy of your home or other location.
Once you have preplanned your funeral, keep a copy of all of your arrangements and paperwork in a safe, yet accessible place.  Than, inform a family member and or close relative or friend where the arrangements and paperwork can be located.  This assures that a family member or you are able to find these items at the time of need.
