Pre Planning
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Fulfilling Your Preplanning Needs...
Making final arrangements for a loved one during a time of grief is known to many to be an excruciating difficult task. Whether the loss has been sudden and unexpected or long and protracted with hospice involved, there are many things that need to be addressed. We are just scratching the surface when we think about such things as the purchase of cemetery property, caskets, burial vaults, clothing, and food for the after-funeral reception... Then there is the collection of the vital statistics for the death certificate, determining the value of any life insurance certificates, gaining access to the safe deposit box... The list goes on! Preplanning allows every family to prepare for the eventualities of death. We can even provide a guaranteed easy lay-away plan for most every family.
Medicaid Issues
Many families, unable to take care of a loved-ones basic needs, often turn to professional assistance such as long term care. With occupancy costs climbing above $40,000 per year in the most modest environment, it's no wonder that assets retained over a life-time of work disappear so quickly. We can assist with funeral costs ahead of time before all assets are depleted so that Medicaid qualification is much easier!
Respecting Your Financial Needs
Our policy of providing an itemized list of funeral costs at the time of arrangement allows families to remain in control of prices. Because we offer a variety of services, we can comfortably fulfill your specific needs, including cremation, with our different pricing plans. We've made it our mission to provide the personalized attention needed when creating a dignified service, without unnecessary costs. We're not here to sell you our services; we're here to give you the information you need to make sound arrangement decisions.
Why Pre-Plan?
Peace of Mind
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress.
Personal Choice
Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice. Pre-planning provides you with the time needed to make practical, detailed decisions that reflect your standards, lifestyle, taste and budget. And we assure you and your family that the choices you make will be carried out as planned.
