Why Pre-Plan?

Arranging for the funeral of someone close requires many decisions to be made, and it is extremely difficult for the surviving spouse, children and other survivors, especially if death occurred suddenly or after a short illness.

For this reason, planning ahead for your funeral helps your family at a time when they need it the most. It also ensures that your final wishes are carried out, rather than leaving guesswork for your family.

Benefits of Pre-Planning:

• Peace of mind
• Spares your loved ones from the need to make difficult decisions during a sad and stressful time
• Allows you to choose options for your funeral based on your personal preferences
• Relieves your family of a financial burden if you elect to pre-pay your funeral costs
• Controls the cost of your funeral and protects from inflation
• Ensures that your personal records are organized and easy for your survivors to locate

If you elect to pre-plan your funeral, be sure to advise family members, your attorney, and the executor of your estate about the pre-plan agreement and provide them with our contact information and the location of your contract. Do not store your pre-planning agreement in your safety deposit box. Your family members may not have access to the box if you pass over the weekend or if the bank restricts access upon notice of your death.
