Advance Funeral Planning is the process of planning ones funeral before the need arises. By meeting with a funeral professional, people plan every aspect of their funeral, from casket and burial vault to music, flowers and more.

You can even arrange to pay for your funeral up front or over time. Advance Funeral Planning represents a gift of love from you to your loved ones that shows your deep compassion for them, and your understanding of the difficulties they will face when a death occurs. Why plan my funeral in advance?

WHY PLAN MY FUNERAL IN ADVANCE?

Relieve those you love of an emotional burden.
By making sound decisions about your funeral needs in advance, you can free your loved ones from this responsibility. This allows them to concentrate on supporting each other, rather than being asked to make many major decisions at a very emotional time.

Express your own wishes.
Often loved ones agonize over what you would have wanted. By selecting your options in advance, there is no doubt. You can also change any aspect of your plan later, if you wish.

Relieve those you love from a financial burden.
If you also choose to fund your funeral in advance. We have plans that will assure that your survivors will not have to pay additional funds for the services and merchandise you selected.

WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

Generally, funeral plans consist of a two-step process: making funeral arrangements and funding their costs. Making funeral arrangements can be done informally with a simple visit to your funeral provider who will record your wishes. Formal arrangements can also be made through the completion of a prearranged funeral contract. If this alternative is chosen, you may receive a price guarantee on the funeral service you selected or other important benefits.

Guarantees
Funding or financing may also be arranged formally or informally. Without completing a prearranged funeral agreement, many pre planners establish a savings account or maintain life insurance which they intend to help defray the ultimate costs of the funeral goods and, services selected. With these methods, prices are usually not guaranteed. When the prearrangement is formally contracted with the funeral provider, the cash accounts or insurance funds are specifically linked to the agreement and the prices can normally be guaranteed. So, the manner in which the funeral is funded will affect the ability of the funeral provider to guarantee the price of the funeral planned.

Price Protection
Funeral price inflation is affected by many factors beyond your control. For this reason, it is important for you to make formal, guaranteed price arrangements with your funeral provider.
