Planning Guide

Planning your funeral

Today many people are making the decision to prearrange their funerals. The advantages make sense.

Planning your own funeral

Enables you to make your wishes known.

Provides an opportunity for you to involve your family in making
arrangements for your memorialization.

Relieves you and your loved ones of future financial responsibility.

Making your selections

Generally, funeral plans consist of a two-step process: making the funeral arrangements, including funeral merchandise and the services of the funeral professional; funding the cost of a pre-arranged funeral.

Funeral merchandise includes:

Casket, urn or both
An outer burial container- cemetery vault or other selection
Other merchandise and associated items such as flowers, acknowledgement cards, and transfer containers

Recording your plan

Our funeral planning professionals can assist with your selections. You will receive a complete explanation of options and prices.

Once you've made your decision, you tell us exactly what funeral service you wish. We'll help you to put it in writing. Then there's no doubt about your expressed wishes.

Your loved ones won't need to ask?

Did we do the right thing?
Did we spend too much...too little?
Is this what he or she wanted?
Did we forget anything?

All that is eliminated because it is in writing.
