Plan for the Inevitable
Planning a funeral and/or memorial service to honor our loved ones requires an incredible amount of detailed decision-making in a short period of time. Emotions understandably run high, while access to information about what that person would have wanted is often limited or non-existent. Pre-planning eases the burden of family and friends after a death in many ways: A clear expression of what kind of service you desire assures your loved ones that they are honoring your wishes appropriately. Vital information and documentation necessary for processing paperwork is organized and filed ahead of time. Family savings and life insurance proceeds are preserved by pre-allocating funds for funeral services to a separate insurance fund maintained by us. You may prepay in full or make monthly installments. A prepaid plan insures that you guard against inflation by locking in today’s rates on funeral services. It also protects against the possibility of financial burden by pre-determining the funeral budget. Pre-planning can apply to any type of service–from a simple cremation, to a full burial and memorial service.
