Pre-Planning
One of the greatest gifts you can give your family is taking the time to pre-plan, providing peace of mind with a clear understanding of your wishes before your death. Our counselors will guide you through the decision process and help alleviate many of your concerns.
What are some of the benefits of pre-planning?
- It’s easy. It allows you to consider the many options available and to make informed decisions that are meaningful to both you and your family.
- It reduces stress. It can prevent tension and disagreements among family members who are forced to decide what you would have wanted.
- It saves money. By making decisions today, you are able to lock in prices.
Where do I start?
The first major decision is to ask our counselors for information. If you have a burial location in mind, you might select and purchase the right to the burial space now.
Pre-planning the remaining cemetery arrangements can be done at any time, which will make it that much easier for your family. Regardless of what you decide, we at Catholic Cemeteries are here to help – it’s our ministry.
