Pre-Burial Planning

No one wants to think about the time when he or she dies. However, if you do not make arrangements ahead of time, someone else will decide where you will be buried and how much of your estate will be spent. This person will most likely be a grieving member of your immediate family, and most people in this situation overspend, mistakenly equating a higher cost with greater love for the departed. By acting now, you can lighten your family’s burden when that time comes. Pre-planning your cemetery arrangements – with your head and not your heart – is an act of love that provides several financial and emotional benefits to your family, not to mention your own satisfaction in knowing that your wishes will be carried out to your personal specifications.

MAKE YOUR PLANS TOGETHER

We recommend that a husband and wife share their feelings and decide on their final arrangements together. This saves your loved ones heartache, expense and inconvenience at the time of your passing. Besides, we would rather see both of you now rather than later when the inevitable forces one of you to see us alone on the most difficult day of your life.

All family members can participate in the family’s cemetery arrangements. For example, your children may want to be buried near you. Pre-planning guarantees everyone’s satisfaction.
When a death occurs in any family, or among friends, the grief is tremendous and the healing time is very long. Pre-arranging cemetery property will ease your family's burden. Your family will know that your wishes have been carried out, and there will be no second-guessing. This peace of mind is worth far more than the dollars spent.

FREEZE THE COSTS AT TODAY'S RATE

Based on the last five decades, we know cemetery expenses will continue to increase. Pre-arrangement allows you to freeze these costs at today’s prices.

Life insurance is for the living, not the deceased. It helps your family adjust to the loss of income that a death causes. If pre-need arrangements are not made, your family will be forced to spend a significantly larger amount of your life insurance proceeds on cemetery arrangements.
Cremation or burial costs are expenses every family must pay.  Payment for cemetery arrangements made at the time of a death are traditionally made prior to interment.
