Planning Ahead

The death of a loved one often brings about unwarranted stress and turmoil among families. One family member wants one thing, while another family member wants something different. By planning ahead, you help prevent those disagreements by letting your family know what your wishes are and how you want your funeral service to be carried out and your business handled.

Once families have purchased their Right of Interment in a designated space, many choose to also prepay all remaining cemetery requirements in advance. For example: interment and administration fees, granite grave markers, mausoleum and cremation memorialization, outer burial containers, and in-ground flower vases. All of these items can be selected by means of our pre-paid and price-guaranteed cemetery trust program. The program allows you to select only those goods and services you want, prevents the possibility of emotional "overspending", and removes the financial burden from those responsible for your arrangements at the time of need.

Most pre-planned purchases can be made under a payment plan. Payment plans are without interest or carrying charges, so families generally find it more economical to use our payment plan rather than to withdraw from savings. Monthly payments are extended over reasonable lengths of time.

Following the death of a loved one, there are more than 150 decisions that have to be made within the first day or two following the death. Those stressful decisions on top of the stress of grieving a loss can be eliminated by arranging your final wishes ahead of time. If those decisions are made, your loved ones aren’t left wondering what you would have wanted and how they should proceed with funeral plans. With those decisions out of the way, your loved one can begin the healing process sooner.
