Advanced Funeral Planning

Pre-arrangement of your funeral is a valuable way to make sure your specific wishes regarding services, merchandise and ceremony details are made clear. You will also take away the burden of decision-making from your loved ones at the time of your death. Pre-arrangements can be made in two different ways: pre-planning and pre-funding.

Pre-planning involves simply recording the details of your life, as well as making known your preferences regarding your funeral service. A funeral director will be happy to meet with you at one of our convenient locations, or in the comfort of your home, all at no cost or obligation to you.

Pre-funding involves setting money aside specifically for your funeral. Some benefits of pre-funding your funeral are that the costs are guaranteed and are protected against inflation. Despite any hardships that may occur during your life, a pre-funded contract is irrevocable and will only be used for your funeral. Flexible payment options are available to allow you to pay over time. Your funds are completely transferable. Pre-funding can be done in two ways: burial trusts and life insurance. Funds deposited will go directly into a fund specifically for you until the time that it is needed.

We are here to listen to you and your family's concerns, then help you plan services that will honor and celebrate your unique life, and will also be meaningful to your family.
