Planning Ahead – Do it for those you love … Do it for your own peace of mind …"

No one likes to think about death, let alone plan for it. But arranging for and selecting the type of funeral service you want before it is needed, often years before the death, makes excellent emotional and financial sense.

A pre-arranged funeral plan can spare your family the burden of making many difficult decisions at an emotionally trying time. Emotionally-charged decision-making often results in overspending and a funeral plan made in advance can result in savings to your family. Consulting with our funeral service professionals can give you and your family peace of mind. Your wishes will be followed to every extent possible and your family will be able to join in a meaningful tribute that will comfort them for years to come.

How many times have you heard someone say, "Don't make a fuss. I don't want a ceremony. Just bury me and be done with it." It’s important to realize that the ritual of a funeral and/or memorial service isn't for the deceased but for the living. It is a time when friends and family can gather together to grieve openly and to provide support for one another.

Different types of funeral plans are available and can be tailored to your particular wishes and situation. Pre-planning your funeral can be very informal - as simple as jotting down your preferences and sharing your wishes with a family member. More formal arrangements in the form of a pre-need contract can be set up with us and can be pre-funded through life insurance, bank trust agreements, or other methods. We offer the ability to lock in the prices for our services and merchandise in today’s dollars, which is an excellent protection against inflation. All funds set aside for final expenses are used for exactly that; interest accrued is added to the trust and no administrative costs are deducted. Furthermore, these funds are autonomous and are not considered to be an asset of the funeral home at any time.

We’d like the opportunity to answer any questions you may have regarding pre-planned services. We have the capability to show you our full line of merchandise in any of our locations or in the comfort of your own home.

The following form can assist you in planning a service that will fulfill your needs and wishes. You may fill out the form online and click the "Submit" button to send it to us electronically. Uour information will be kept securely and confidentially.
