Thinking about death, to say nothing of planning for your own or that of a family member, is often an uncomfortable subject to discuss. However, funeral planning before the need arises is an important topic. Pre-planning can include the planning of funeral service details, recording of biographical information and selection of merchandise as an important step in overall estate planning.

Pre-planning allows you to:

– Have the peace of mind of knowing your loved ones will be spared from
  having to make difficult decisions at a stressful time.

– Purchase funeral goods and services that are guaranteed at today’s prices.

– Determine the type of funeral service you feel is most appropriate for you.

Contact us to make an appointment to discuss pre-planning. You will be able to discuss confidentially and at your convenience the costs and payment options available. We offer this service free of charge with no obligation.
