Pre-Planning Your Services

Have you thought about how you would like to be remembered? Maybe you had a long military career you want to celebrate. Maybe you have always loved particular songs, readings, or have other personal details that are important to you. Maybe you are environmentally conscious and would like your burial or cremation to be eco-friendly (“green” or natural burial).

When you make funeral pre-arrangements, you give your loved ones detailed instructions so they will know exactly how to honor your memory.

Today, more people are making the decision to prearrange their funerals than ever before. Because of factors such as inflation, lack of nearby family members, etc., planning your own funeral can make emotional and financial sense.

Here are some of the most common reasons people give for prearranging their own funerals:

1. Ensure that you will be remembered in the way you want
2. Make your wishes clear regarding cremation or burial
3. Make certain your services align with your religious or ethnic customs
4. Reduce stress for your family during an emotional time
5. Save money by locking in today’s prices
6. Help your loved avoid emotional spending

Whether you simply want your wishes carried out, or want to protect your family from making tough decisions in their time of loss, planning your final arrangements in advance is one of the greatest gifts you can give your loved ones.
