Pre-Planning Your Final Arrangements

Why pre-plan now?

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. You put your wishes in writing; doing so can prevent tension and disagreements among family members who are forced to agree upon what you might have wanted.
  • It saves money. By making decisions today, you are able to lock in today’s prices.
