Pre-Planning

Too often, family members wonder: “Is this what they would have wanted?” when they are tasked with planning a funeral. By making your wishes clear ahead of time, you can significantly alleviate the burden on your loved ones.

Pre-planning is basically creating plans for a funeral before they become necessary. To effectively pre-plan, you will need to gather a variety of family information and make decisions regarding the type of service that you want. The services of a pre-planning counselor or funeral director can help you to plan, organize, and record all of your wishes. You may choose to pay for the arrangements in advance or your plans can be held on file at the funeral home to be undergone when they are needed and invoiced to the family or estate.
