Pre-need Plans

The death of a loved one is a tragedy every household will experience.

Most families will find themselves poorly prepared to deal with the problems, decisions and costs a death forces on them, all at a time when they are least emotionally prepared to deal with them.

The decision to prearrange your cemetery space and funeral needs today is very economically sound but the best reasons to prearrange are love and peace of mind.

Togetherness - A husband and wife can share their choices and decide together, therefore saving loved ones heartache, expense and inconvenience at the time of death.

Satisfaction - On a prearrangement basis, a family burial site and/or funeral merchandise can be discussed with all family members concerned, thus assuring everyone’s satisfaction.

Price-Freezing - Based on history, we know the cost of cemetery space and funeral arrangements will continue to increase. Prearrangement allows the costs to be frozen at today’s prices.

Conserves Insurance - Life insurance is for the living, not the deceased. Most life insurance is purchased to allow a family time to adjust to the loss of income that a death causes. If prearrangements are not made, a large amount of insurance proceeds can be spent on cemetery and funeral items adding financial burdens to loved ones left behind.

Payments - Funeral and memorial costs are expenses every individual must plan on paying. Prearrangement allows these needs to be met today, out of current income through budgeted payments, over time. Payment at the time of death is required on an up-front, cash basis.

Peace of Mind - When death occurs in any family or among friends, the grief is tremendous and the grieving process can be very long. Prearrangement will have a positive impact on your family and friends simply because you have made your own decision. This allows for peace of mind provides benefits far exceeding the dollars spent.
