Many individuals choose the smart option of planning and financing their funeral in advance of need.

A family discussion of funeral preferences, although sensitive, can be a very satisfying experience for you and the ones you love. It allows you to share your feelings about the various aspects of the funeral and inform others of your personal preferences. It helps you to think about the financial responsibility and how you can set aside funds to take care of the final expenses. It provides an opportunity to place all your affairs in order in a relaxed, unhurried way.

Pre-arranging and pre-financing a funeral service are perhaps the smartest choices that an individual or couple can do today to assist the family in carrying out their wishes during the time of need.

Our method of pre-arranging a funeral organizes both information and finances, thus minimizing stress and decisions at a difficult time.

PRE-NEED INFORMATION

Funerals are about individuals and should be a tribute to life. It is necessary to gather basic information to complete legal papers and to write obituaries. Our packet provides space for you to record your personal biographical information and funeral preferences. This may be amended at any time. Some people want to select specific items for their funeral; others just want to set funds aside for their family. You have a choice of what decisions you want to make. We place these information sheets in a packet, and make sure everyone you choose, including us, has a copy of your wishes.

PRE-FINANCING
