Planning Questions

Everything you need to know—and all the questions you’ve been meaning to ask—about planning ahead with care, confidence, and peace of mind.

  • Why should I plan my funeral in advance?

    Planning ahead eases the emotional and financial burden on your loved ones. It ensures your wishes are honored and gives you peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of.

  • What can I include in my pre-arranged plans?

    You can choose everything from burial or cremation preferences to the type of ceremony, music, readings, and even personal touches like photos or keepsakes. It’s entirely up to you.

  • How does advance planning help my family?

    Your family won’t have to make difficult decisions during a time of grief. Pre-planning removes guesswork and allows them to focus on healing and remembering you.

  • Can I make changes to my plan later?

    Yes, your plans are flexible. Life changes, and so can your preferences. You can update your arrangements at any time.

  • Do I have to pay in advance?

    Paying ahead is optional. You can make arrangements without immediate payment, or choose to fund your plan now to lock in today’s prices and relieve future costs.

  • How do I get started?

    Getting started is simple. You can request our free planning guide, speak with our staff, or schedule a no-obligation consultation to walk through your options.
