Plan Ahead
Planning ahead brings peace of mind for you and comfort for your family.
When you make your wishes known in advance, you protect your loved ones from the stress of making difficult decisions during a time of grief. A written plan is a gift - it gives your family clarity, guidence, and the reassurance that everything will be handled just as you wanted.
Without a plan, families are often left with many choices to make while coping with loss. By planning ahead, you lift that weight from their shoulders and give them space to focus on healing and remembering.
We are here to make it comforting.
Explore our free resources, book a meeting, or plan ahead online - so you and your family can have peace of mind today and tomorrow.

Benefits of Preplanning
Lets Your Wishes Be Known
Every life is unique, and your funeral should reflect your story. Planning your arrangements ensures your family knows exactly what you want, preventing confusion or disagreements during an already emotional time. It gives you the confidence that your service will be carried out with care, respect, and in the way that feels right to you.
Provides Peace of Mind
Planning your arrangements ahead brings peace of mind to both you and your loved ones. Knowing your wishes are clearly understood - and that everything will be carried out just as you intended - offers comfort and reassurance. For your family, it eases stress, allowing them to focus on love, support, and healing instead of difficult decisions.
Flexible Funding Options
Preplanning a funeral can be arranged in a way that fits your budget and your needs. You may choose to pay in advance or select a convenient payment plan that spreads the cost over time. This thoughtful step lightens the load for your family and provides comfort when it's needed most.
Relieves the Burden on Family
Preparing your arrangements is one of the greatest gifts you can give your family. By making your choices ahead of time, you spare loved ones from having to make overwhelming decisions during a time of grief. Instead, they will have the comfort of knowing your arrangements were thoughtfully made, giving them space to remember and celebrate your life.

What information do I need to prearrange a funeral?
You'll need basic information about yourself or the person you are planning for, such as date of birth, marital status, parents' full names, etc. Besides the biological information, you'll need to choose burial or cremation, what type of service you'd like, what cemetery to use, etc. Our caring staff will help you with this process.
Do I have to pay in advance?
Preplanning is merely making your wishes known; however, most families who plan ahead choose to pre-fund their funeral as well. Doing so will relieve the financial burden on your family and offers peace of mind to you.
Can I transfer my plans to or from another funeral home?
If you have plans at another funeral home and would like to move them here, we will help you do that. If you move away from the area and would like to transfer your arrangements to another funeral home, we will assist you with that as well.
