Preplanning My Wishes - Why Should I?
We understand that coming to a funeral home and cemetery is the last thing anyone ever wants to have to do. That's why we work with families to put their preferences in place before they are ever needed. It is an important part of estate planning that often is overlooked, or unfortunately, easily ignored.
People often say, "All that is spelled out in my will". That may be, however, often the will is found or read after the immediate needs of selecting a funeral home and the decisions have been carried out. To have a plan in place at your selected funeral home, known to exist by all those concerned long before it is ever a need, is the best way to have your wishes truly carried out.
Regardless of your choice for cremation or burial, preplanning is a wise and thoughtful gift to those you love. It is important to know the facts.
While it is a fact of life that every household will experience the death of a loved one, being prepared can ease the strain emotionally and financially. Often unexpected, most families find it hard to deal with decisions, financial obligations, and emotional upheaval that happens in a very short amount of time.
By preplanning you have the time to discuss your options with family. Many families tell us this has actually been a very positive experience. It helps them verbalize what is important to them, while making choices at a time when all concerned are clear headed. Ensuring that costs will not be an issue in the future often prompts the decision to pre-plan, yet quickly becomes a secondary benefit.
The best place to start is to set a time to talk to us about our specific preferences, family, traditions, and options that are available. It is hard to make a decision without a reference point. Seeing options helps you decide what is really appropriate for your family, and what associated costs will be. And, we specialize in things that can make a celebration of a life really fit the individual. Our service begins with helping you think through what will pertain to your needs.
Plans are guaranteed, and payment options are available.
We invite you to call us. We welcome an opportunity to serve you by putting in place the most thoughtful gift you can give your family.
