Pre-Planning

Any type of funeral service can be pre-planned.  One of the most caring, loving things you can do for your family is to leave detailed information which permits them to make the funeral service a personal tribute in keeping with the way you wanted.

There are many reasons why families choose to pre-plan:

• To give yourself time to think about specific phases of the funeral service without having to make immediate decisions.
• To assist your family during a difficult time.  Pre-planning your funeral is a wonderful gift that you can give your family. Pre-planning takes the worry and stress from your family and also allows them to rest in the fact that your wishes are being followed. Your family will know what you want, and not what they think you want.
• Make sure your preferences for the type of funeral service you desire are fulfilled.
• Control Costs. By paying for your funeral in advance(Interest Bearing Irrevocable Burial Reserve, Life Insurance, etc.), your assets are protected and grow at competitive interest rates.  Specific services can be paid for at today's prices, which will guarantee the amount in the future.
• To ensure understanding of possible benefits at the time of death for your survivors, such as social security, veteran benefits, and life insurance claims.
• Knowing that your plans and confidences are with a firm that has been in business for over 100 years and is dedicated to providing superior quality and value at affordable prices.
