Funeral Planning

Pre-Need Planning for Funerals, Memorials and Monument Provides Peace of Mind

As our population continues to age, more and more families are making funeral, memorial and monument arrangements in advance. Pre-Need planning frees the surviving family members from making important and significant decisions in a time of great stress and grief. Pre-Need planning provides great peace of mind for everyone involved.

When a loved one dies, grieving family members and friends often are confronted with dozens of decisions, such as:

Location of Service (church)
Music? Vocal? Instrumental?
Visitation?
Funeral Home preference?
Pallbearers? (names)
Veteran Service?
Glasses? Jewelry?
Cemetery selection? (where)
Burial space (crypt/mausoleum)
Clergy to preside over service
Special music selections?
Open or closed casket?
Obituary?
Memorial contributions? (where)
Clothing (suit, dress, color)
Monument selection? (where)
Other instructions (transportation)
