Planning ahead is a valuable gift for your family. We often underestimate the significance of arranging our own funeral, ceremony, or event. It may seem unnecessary or excessive.

However, a funeral service not only serves to honor your life, but it also plays a crucial role in the healthy grieving process for your family and friends who will begin the difficult journey of living without you.

Regardless of the type of service you desire, it is essential to make plans now. Whether you prefer cremation, specific music during the service, or a particular treat at the gathering, prearranging allows you to make these decisions.

Choosing meaningful elements creates a more profound and healing experience for your loved ones. Moreover, it helps prevent disagreements among family members who may be uncertain about your preferences.

Preparing for the future instills a sense of peace, knowing that you have taken steps to be prepared. Once your arrangements are in place, you and your family can find solace in the knowledge that your wishes will be fulfilled exactly as you intended. Keep in mind that the choices made during preplanning can be adjusted at any time.

Leaving your family with numerous difficult decisions while they are already grieving is unfair. By making arrangements ahead of time, you allow your loved ones to focus on supporting one another and beginning the healing process, without the added stress of funeral planning.

Prepayment generally means that you save money by being protected from inflation and price changes. Prepaying also provides peace of mind for your family, who won’t have to figure out your funeral expenses when the time comes. We offer multiple ways to prepay for your final arrangements, including both trust and insurance options.

First, check out our preplanning checklist to help you consider all your possibilities. If you'd like to start the process without paying, use our planning form to create your personalized arrangements or you can schedule a time to meet with our staff to discuss your options and make a plan.
