Planning Ahead

One of the most difficult things in life to do is make funeral arrangements for a loved one.  We have many families who preplan their final arrangements.  Pre-planning is one of the most considerate and thoughtful things that you can do for your family.  By pre-planning you are able to discuss your wishes ahead of time and provide your family with answers rather than questions at the time of need.  Pre-planning also reduces financial and emotional stress on the surviving family.  We can assist you with all your pre-planning arrangements.

The Pre-planning Process

We will meet with you in your home or at our facility which ever is more convenient for you and discuss the type of service you prefer and the options and merchandise available to you.  We will then secure the necessary information needed for the legal documents and other paperwork.  Once we have documented your wishes we will issue you a laminated wallet card for your use to confirm that you have arrangements made and who your emergency contacts are.  We will keep this information on file as well as provide copies for you and your loved ones.  We will guide you through the entire process and try to make things as easy and simple as possible.
