Why plan

make your wishes known

Prepare for what matters

Not everyone likes to plan ahead, but pre-planning your funeral arrangements not only gives you peace of mind about your final wishes being honored, but alleviates some of the stress and burden your loved ones are going through as they experience the grief associated with loss.

Benefits of preplanning

Planning Ahead Lets Your Wishes Be Known

The death of a loved one often brings about unwarranted stress and turmoil among families. One family member wants one thing, while another family member wants something different. By planning ahead, you help prevent those disagreements by letting your family know what your wishes are and how you want your funeral service to be carried out and your business handled.

Planning Ahead Offers Peace of Mind

Our dedicated staff guarantees we will faithfully carry out your arrangements exactly as directed, ensuring every detail aligns with your wishes and expectations. Once plans are thoughtfully set, you and your family can find comfort and peace knowing those difficult decisions have already been made. In times of grief, careful preplanning allows loved ones to focus on healing and remembrance without added stress.

Planning Ahead Offers Flexible Funding Options

When you preplan your funeral arrangements, there are more options when it comes to funding the funeral. A preneed insurance policy, life insurance policy or another payment option can all be arranged before the time of death. At the time of death, services must be paid in full, so having options ahead of time can also reduce financial stress related to losing someone.

Planning Ahead Relieves The Burden From Family

There are more than 150 decisions that have to be made within the first day or two following the death of a loved one. Those stressful decisions can be eliminated by arranging your final wishes ahead of time. If those decisions are made, your loved ones aren’t left wondering what you would have wanted and how they should proceed with funeral plans. With those decisions out of the way, your loved one can begin the healing process sooner.
