Advance Planning

As a society, we seem to plan for everything.  From children's birthday parties, to wedding, anniversary celebrations, holiday gatherings, picnics and everything in between.  Planning has become a way of coping in today's fast paced world.

The one thing most people don't plan for is the event in life that we all know we will have to face at some point and that is the unfortunate death of a loved one.  Because death is not an easy topic to discuss, we tend to ignore the inevitable.  Because of this many surviving family members faced with the challenge of arranging a loved one's funeral are often left asking many questions.  "What type of service would have mom wanted?"  "Do you think she would have wanted a viewing?"  Did she talk about cremation?"  These questions are often times left unanswered and the "guessing game" of making decisions often begins.

Prearranging your final wishes is not only a very easy process, but it certainly eliminates the "guessing game".  The one time in life we wish we could make easier for the people we love is only complicated by our lack of planning.  Having our wishes known and recorded is paramount in easing an exceptionally difficult time.

At our funeral home, we will sit down with you and discuss the many options available.  There is never any cost of obligation involved to do so.  We can record your wishes and keep them on file for future use.  This way, your wishes are known and will be honored at the time our services are required.  If you wish to do so, you can prepay your funeral expenses.  By doing so, you have guaranteed the cost at today's prices.  If arrangements are prepaid at our funeral home, we guarantee the cost for every item we provide including cash advance items such as cemetery expense, flowers death certificates and any other outside cost necessary for us to complete arrangements.  This way, not only are your wishes known, but you have guaranteed your loved one's will knot be responsible for any additional coasts at the time of need.

While prepaying has its benefits, the true benefits of prearranging your final wishes is that it truly eliminates the "guessing game" for your family.

Please take some time to complete our prearrangement form.  Once completed you can print it out to keep on file at your home or forward it directly to us for permanent safekeeping here.  Either way, always be sure to make someone in your family aware of its location.

You can also call us anytime to set up an appointment to answer your questions or arrange a time to get together either in your home or at the funeral home.
