Pre-Planning Benefits

Planning in advance of need provides peace of mind. The death of a loved one is a time of great loss and advance planning can reduce stress for your family with the knowledge that your advance arrangement has been completed. This allows your loved ones to devote more time to coping and understanding the loss and less time concerned with funeral arrangements and financial details.

Although not required when making pre-arrangements, most people choose to pre-pay their funeral in advance. This will guarantee the price of the funeral and merchandise selected. We offer a variety of pre-payment programs which allow you to control cost, avoid emotional overspending and guarantee today's price.

Pre-funding is especially important if you or a loved one is facing Medicaid assistance to pay for long-term health care. Monies set aside for funeral expenses can be certified as irrevocable and therefore shielded for Medicaid spend-down guidelines.
