Pre-Arrangement Makes Sense
Today,
more people are recognizing that planning a funeral in advance of need
demonstrates love and consideration toward their family members.
|
 |
It is a thoughtful decision that reduces
the stress of indecision and uncertainty when a death occurs. The
following information has been prepared to answer some of the
questions we frequently receive about pre-arrangement. |
"Why do
people pre-arrange a funeral service for themselves or a family member?"
There are many good reasons. Some plan ahead because there
will be no one who is capable of making responsible decisions. Others
have definite preferences concerning their funeral service, and they want
their families to be informed and involved in those decisions.
Many
people pre-arrange because they like the peace of mind knowing there will
be adequate funds to cover funeral expenses. Also, pre-payment can
provide you real benefits when applying for Medicaid in the United
States. Most importantly, pre-arrangement guarantees that rational
decisions can be made ahead of time without the usual urgencies when death
takes place.
"What Steps Are Involved?"
After you determine your funeral preferences, we will explain your
options and guide you in establishing your own plans. You should find the
advice of your family, clergy, and your funeral director especially
helpful when considering the options. We will record certain vital
information and gather documents for the required forms. Next, you can
select a casket, burial vault, and other merchandise associated with the
services. Finally, you may pay for the services and merchandise ahead of
time through one of our payment programs.
"What Will The Pre-Arranged Funeral Service Cost?"
The cost is a matter of your choice. All of your selections and
options are featured in our itemized pricing guide. This guide provides
factual information concerning each item and its price.
Funding
the pre-arranged service is a choice most people make to ease possible
financial pressures on their family. Pre-funding allows you to pay for
the funeral service at current prices. As your plan grows over time, it
offsets inflation and should provide adequate funds for the future cost of
the funeral. We will explain our funding plans and assist you in
arranging one that is most convenient and advantageous.
