Preplanning is
the process of making plans for your own funeral , or that of a loved
one , well in advance of need. It includes writing out and setting up
a permanent record of your wishes. The written expression of your
thinking as to the type of service, burial location and other details
are very important, along with your written record of vital
statistics.
Many people also choose to pay for their funeral in advance. To
Pre-fund is an option that more people are choosing because it allows
you to consider cost-effective options at a time when you are better
prepared to make sound, fiscally responsible decisions.
Prearrangement
means that you have taken the opportunity to both preplan and
pre-fund. This process specifically include meeting with
individuals or families in advance of need to explain, educate and
provide information for Prearrangement. This service is provided free
of charge in hopes that it will bring peace of mind to the people we
serve. There is a comfort that comes in knowing that your wishes will
be respected and that your family will have fewer burdens in making
decisions about funeral arrangements during a time of grief.
We encourage people at
any age to become acquainted with the costs and all the decisions that
need to be made when a loved one encounters the inevitable. Having to
discuss arrangements at the time of need is probably one of the
hardest financial decisions that we will face in our lifetime. Any one
of the staff at our funeral home, would be glad to meet with you to
discuss how best to carry out your wishes.
We have composed a
checklist
which you may wish to use. Since each person is unique, some of the
items listed may apply to prearrangement in your life and some you may
wish to ignore.
