The Pre-Planning Process

Funeral Pre-Arrangement Process

How Do Pre-Paid Funerals Work?

While pre-planning your funeral might sound difficult or overwhelming, it's actually quite simple and doesn't take much time to get started.  We've worked with many individuals in every kind of situation to pre-plan their funeral, and we have answers to your questions. Every question is important and we're here to help, so don't hesitate at any time to contact us.  We're only a phone call away.

Funeral Pre-Planning Process Conversation

The funeral pre-planning process begins by:

1. Simply asking yourself what you want your pre-arranged funeral to look like. You've probably been to funerals. What did you see that you liked, and didn't like? Make a list of those things.

2. Setting goals (with the list above we can help you to set goals).

3. Ask us about the available pre-arranged funeral options. Our Services section can give you some ideas. And our Personalized Service Options section can give you some unique and creative ideas.

4. Weigh the pros and cons of each option.

5. Write out your plan with as many details as possible; and

6. Conclude your plan with one of our funeral directors.

When you're ready, the first step can be taken in the privacy of your own home by using our Funeral Pre-planning Online tool or, if you'd rather start by asking us some questions, you can contact us.

Using the Online Funeral Pre-Planning Tool

Our Funeral Pre-Arrange Online planning tool is a step-by-step interactive form that you can use to get started recording your thoughts and help you to organize your pre-arranged funeral plans. When you go to the link, you'll be asked to create an account with a username and password so you can login at any time to complete or change the plan.  You can complete some of the information or all the information, and in either case we'll receive the updated form for safekeeping. Most individuals don't complete all the information and that's OK.  The point of using the tool is to help you get started.  Then, when you're ready, we can talk and set an appointment to come in the office to finalize your plan.

Turn to the Professionals

Some people are more comfortable to start talking through their plan in a face to face conversation rather than beginning with the online pre-planning tool.  So if you prefer to begin the funeral pre-planning process with a conversation, we're here to help. You can call us or send us an email using the Contact Us form.
