Pre-Arrange

Selection of Cemetery Property

Statistics show that 67% of the time, husbands die before their wives. If pre-arrangements have not made in advance, the surviving widow is left to manage the selection and purchase of the burial property during difficult times of emotional pressure.

Regardless of who remains behind, pre-purchasing can ease  the  emotional  stress of   selecting   and   purchasing   cemetery property after a loved one has passed. Prearranging also allows the family to decide on the number of burial spaces needed so no money is wasted and family members can be buried near one another.

Selection of the Casket and Arrangement of the Funeral

To help us cope with the death of a loved one, our bodies most often go into a certain degree of shock. This is how we are made, and it allows us to deal with the pain of our grief. 

Although this mental state can be helpful to our emotional well being, this is not the preferred time to be making financial, funeral or burial decisions. Misguided decisions at this time can contribute to the "high cost of dying." That is why everyone should make casket and funeral arrangements in advance, when reason and logic prevail, emotional overspending is controlled, and the wishes of the deceased are respected.

Finally, Organization of Family Paperwork

Many families are unaware of the detailed information needed by the funeral director when funeral arrangements are made. And, most families do not keep well organized records at home and experience difficulty finding important documents at the time of death.
