Plan for the inevitable. . .

Funeral pre-planning should be a natural part of life. It provides you with time to make end-of-life decisions in a calm and rational atmosphere. Start the online planning process now. Meet with one of our pre-planning advisers. It makes sense.

Why should I plan ahead?

Pre-planning is a matter of taking the time to think about – and record – your end-of-life desires. It’s a thoughtful gesture to those you love, and a way to let go of anxieties about the future. Once done, you can relax, knowing your plans are in the hands of reliable friends or family.

Funeral Pre-planning is all about ensuring that your wishes are known. They can be acted upon when the time comes. Committing to planning:

It’s easy.

You can take your time to create arrangements. Your plan can best suit your needs and preferences. Just fill out a form or meet with a staff member to put your plan in place. Anyone can create a plan, at any stage in their life, and you can make changes at a later date if you wish.

Decide how you’d like to be remembered.

Creating your life celebration allows you to ensure your wishes are respected. Pre-planning and preparation give you control over your personal decisions for your funeral. Planning can be meaningful for your family, as well, if you choose to include them in the process. It can help them to feel connected to you both in life and death. Knowing that your arrangements reflect what you envisioned them to be.

It takes the burden off of your family and friends.

When a loved one passes, the family faces an overwhelming number of tasks and decisions. These decisions cause extra grief and a range of painful emotions. By taking care of your arrangements before the time of need, you’re relieving them of that burden. This gives them more time and energy to focus on healing and remembrance. They won’t have to ask themselves, “Am I making the right choices?” They can focus on what matters: saying goodbye and celebrating your life journey. They can spend time with those who cared about you the most.

It gives you the ability to pre-pay if you wish.

Pre-funding your funeral is not required. Pre-payment means that your funds will be set aside and protected against inflation. Your family won’t have to worry about payment. They can enjoy peace of mind knowing that everything has been taken care of. We’d be happy to provide you with more information and arrange for the pre-funding of your services.

What if I move?

Once you create your funeral planning checklist with us, we store it in our files. It becomes a record of your final wishes and decisions. Your plan is transferable to any funeral home in the United States. You can use it wherever you might move. We will make sure that your plan follows you where ever you move to in the future.

Where do I start?

The first step is to review our Pre-Planning Checklist. It helps you consider your possibilities and gather the information you’ll need. Then, you can use our Pre-Planning Form to begin creating your personalized arrangements. You can contact us to schedule a time to meet with a member of our staff. We will discuss your options and design your plan in person.
