Pre-Planning

Many people plan for life events such as weddings and vacations well in advance, but many people do not plan for something that is certain to happen, their funeral. The primary advantages of pre-planning your funeral is to relieve the burden on your loved ones in an already emotional time, and to ensure your funeral is carried out according to your wishes, eliminating the task of second-guessing what you would have wanted. Taking the time now to arrange your funeral is one less thing your loved ones will need to worry about once you’ve passed.

What you can do in advance…

Decide on Burial or Cremation and your casket or urn type.
Pick what type of service you want (religious, military, non-traditional)
Choose which funeral home to use.
Designate your pallbearers, pick any music, readings and other unique details you may want included at your service.

Benefits of Pre-Planning

Between 70 and 75 decisions are made within the first 24-48 hours of death. It’s difficult to think rationally while making so many decisions within days of losing someone, pre-planning gives yourself, family and friends peace of mind.

When a death occurs, emotions often override clear thought. Start Your Pre-Plan Today
