Advantages to Advanced Funeral Planning or Pre-Arrangements

When a friend or family member dies, the sense of loss, disbelief, and helplessness can simply be overwhelming.  Especially if you are responsible for planning the funeral and memorial service.

If you have ever made funeral arrangements, you're probably familiar with the countless decisions that need to be made to ensure everything is just right.  We feel obligated to educate the community about advance funeral planning because people who have made pre-arrangements tell us the experience was important to their peace of mind.  And when the need for a funeral arises, those left behind are very relieved to know that many or all of the decisions were made ahead of time.

There are three main benefits to Advanced Funeral Planning

Relieve the emotional burden from surviving family

By making funeral and burial decisions in advance, you free your loved ones from this responsibility.  This gives them time to build a foundation for healing and support one another.  The funeral service will be a time of reflection and a celebration of your life.

Express your own wishes

Often a family agonizes over what the deceased would have wanted:  "Did I do the right thing?"  "Did I forget anything?"  "Did I include everyone?"  "How will I pay for the funeral?"

These are all questions that can be answered in a documented and funded advance funeral plan.  It is also our experience that many people don't realize all of the options available in funeral and memorial care.  Now is the best time to discover what's available for you and your family.

Relieve the financial responsibility from surviving family

Choosing a funding option completes your advance funeral plan.  We offer a variety of payment options that will meet your needs.

Funeral costs, like everything else, are likely to increase over time.

We offer advance funeral plans that can protect the cost of your funeral at today's price.  Your funded prearrangement includes the fees for professional services, administrative costs, visitation, merchandise such as casket and burial vault, and items that will make your funeral a uniquely personal experience.

Our belief is that a funeral is important for survivors.  Funerals provide an opportunity for your friends and family to reflect and even celebrate your life.  In fact, it is the first big step in the grief process.

There's no pressure or obligation to learn more.
