Pre-Planning A Funeral...  

The most important benefit of making funeral arrangements in advance is peace of mind.

In addition to peace of mind, pre-planning your funeral....

• Removes the decision-making burden from the shoulders of loved ones at the time of need.
• Helps settle any differences that may arise within your family about the type and costs of the funeral service
• Should you decide to pre-pay your funeral expenses, it will provide a slight curb against inflation by compounding interest to you pre-need funeral trust account. Although not a guarantee of cost, we all know every little bit helps.
• Allows you to meet with the funeral director of your choice and ask questions about service options, including the many options available for cremation
• Assures that your wishes and preferences for funeral services be known

We have included 4 planning forms that are designed to further assist you in the pre-planning process. 
We encourage you to fill out and print these forms. These forms can be filled out right on your computer, 
and then the finished product may be printed. Copies of these forms should be kept by the funeral director of your choice, clergy, and the person or next of kin who will oversee arrangements. You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to access these forms. If you do not have the Adobe Acrobat Reader, click the "Get Acrobat Reader" Button to download the program. This is a free download.
