Why Plan Ahead

Why Plan Ahead

Planning ahead in life is something we all do. We plan for weddings, children, education costs and family vacations. We also plan for unexpected events in life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Today, many people understand that pre-planning their funeral is the most considerate gift they can leave to their families. With arrangements made in advance, bereaved family members are relieved of the burden of making decisions at a difficult time, and from guessing what your final wishes might be.

Online or In-Person

One of our dedicated staff members can meet with you at one of our convenient locations, or at your home. Online or Phone appointments are also available if you feel more comfortable.

Financial Benefits

The Option to Prepay – When you prepay, you lock in today’s prices. A member of our staff will explain each payment method and investment option available, and will help you make a decision that best suits you and your family.

Your Family Keeps More – When you prepay for your site—or your site plus a complete memorialization package—your estate will incur fewer expenses at the time of your death. More of your assets and life insurance proceeds will go directly to your family.

Save the Amount You Need – Once you gain an understanding of all the costs involved, you can earmark a portion of your savings to cover those costs.
