Pre-Planning

Making funeral preparations in advance offers you the opportunity to go through all of your options and design a service that is special to you.

Pre-Plan Benefits

Pre-planning a funeral can be one of the greatest gifts you can give to your family. They will have many other things to deal with during the time after your death. Allow them the relief of not having to plan a funeral and instead, they can celebrate your amazing life.

You're always in control of your pre-planning. Ensure that your life is celebrated the way you want. Include your family or friends in your plans if you wish for their input.

Pre-Paying

Your prepayments are placed into a trust fund by us, where they are kept until they are required. Prepaying typically results in financial savings since you are shielded from price increases and inflation, and it also provides your family members peace of mind knowing that the funeral costs are covered.

Where to Begin

See our planning checklist below to see all your options. Then, you can plan online using our form. or you can schedule a meeting with our staff to plan your personalized service details. Additionally, we keep a record of your preplanned arrangements and prepayments, and they’re easily transferable to any funeral home in the United States if you were to move.
