| Planning
ahead is certainly not a new concept. We plan for our wedding, our
children's education, family vacations, prepare our wills, and some
even purchase cemetery spaces. The benefits for preparing for the
future has prompted many to take the step to pre-plan their own funeral.

Advantages
Of Planning Your Funeral Arrangements
|
| * |
Placing
your wishes down in writing is the most important thing, ensuring
your final wishes will be fulfilled. That way, there is no confusion
about your intentions at the time of your death.
|
| * |
Pre-planning
provides you with the time needed to make practical, detailed decisions
that reflect your lifestyle, taste, beliefs, and budget. |
| * |
Pre-planning
lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making
pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress.. |
You
may also chose to prepay your funeral expenses. By prepaying for your
funeral arrangements, you lock in your service at today's price. We
guarantee the total price of the funeral (services charges and merchandise
only) will never increase. Cash Advanced Items, such as cemetery charges,
obituary notices, certified copies of death certificate, etc., may
increase. These are charges outside of the funeral home's control.
Funds the funeral home receives towards a prepaid funeral are placed
into an Irrevocable Life Insurance Policy. This policy is payable
to the Funeral Home, in accordance with state law. No one can access
these funds or cancel the policy. By Law, the policy may only be cashed
in at the time of death. NO FUNDS remain in the funeral home account.
Because death is difficult to discuss, often times your final wishes
may not be known by your family. This clearly makes pre-planning a
wise decision. To assist those who are considering making these important
arrangements, we provide an online form to begin the pre-planning
process. |
