OUR CUSTOMIZED, FLEXIBLE PLANS CAN BE TAILORED TO YOUR WISHES AND BUDGET.

Advance planning is a caring gift that will
give comfort to your loved ones

By taking time to designate funeral preferences and pay for many or all of the expenses in advance, you ensure your loved ones will have fewer complicated decisions to make during that emotional time. Although making your funeral and cemetery arrangements may seem overwhelming, it isn’t hard. We recommend you approach planning using four easy steps.

Reflect. Take time to consider the type of funeral and cemetery services you want to celebrate or memorialize your life. Consider the tone and atmosphere of the services. Will they be somber? Traditional? Celebratory? Will they reflect your unique interests and personality? Answering these questions will help you begin to make the funeral and cemetery selections that are right for you.
Record. Once you have determined your wishes for your final arrangements, writing them down is the best way to ensure they will be carried out. Whether stored on paper or electronically, this will allow your loved ones to act on your behalf. Just as you keep your will and financial documents updated, you should review and update your funeral and cemetery plans, if necessary, as well.

Share. After you have recorded your funeral plans, it’s important to share them with your loved ones, so they will be able to carry out your wishes. Keep these plans in a safe, but accessible location. If you work directly with a funeral provider, they will keep this on file.
Support. Does pre-planning require pre-payment? The simple answer is “no.” You can simply record your wishes, and leave them to your family to pay for the desired services at the time of your passing. Or, if you are financially able, you can relieve your family of the need to pay for your funeral or cemetery services by pre-funding your plan.

Any arrangement can be performed as simple
or elaborate as you like.

It really is your choice as any plan can be tailored to any arrangements that you want.
We understand your need for peace of mind.

What are Prepaid Funeral Plans?

A pre-paid funeral is a plan made with a funeral home that’s been paid ahead of time (the money has already been paid or has been set aside for this purpose). There are different ways to do this, depending on your preferences and financial concerns.

Pre-paid funeral plans provide a way for people to pay for their funeral arrangements before they pass. It’s for people who want to spare their loved ones from having to make decisions and experience financial stress while grieving. But some experts say these types of plans may end up costing you more than you would pay for an average funeral after fees and other charges have been calculated.

Should You Prepay Funeral Expenses?

Although purchasing a prepaid funeral plan from a funeral home is a compassionate and seemingly wise idea, the truth is that there are more financially savvy ways to pay for your burial costs. Most experts agree that there are too many risks associated with pre-paying your funeral and working directly with a funeral home.

In fact, state and federal authorities have investigated funeral homes and pre-payment providers and have found alarming violations of trust because these plans don’t have a lot of regulatory oversight. If a funeral home isn’t reputable, they can misspend or embezzle your funds.

When is the best time to Prearrange for your funeral?

The best time to begin making your prearrangements is now, while you’re thinking about it. Some people in their 40’s and 50’s may think it’s too early to prearrange, this is quite smart financial planning and gives you added peace of mind knowing you aren’t leaving this burden to family members. By taking time now to collect cost information and calmly making choices related to your own funeral arrangements, you’ll be protecting your family against the stress of having to make these decisions at a time of extreme emotional stress. This way you can carefully choose specific items you want and need.
