Preplanning - Prefinancing

Having served thousands of families during the years we have been in business, we realize how difficult it is for people after the loss of a loved one. We understand that planning a funeral involves making difficult decisions at a very emotional and highly charged time. We also understand that a funeral service doesn't have to cost a fortune. We know the value people place on family and the value of a dollar.

As a vital part of our unwavering commitment to excellence in service, we are always searching for ways to greatly reduce this emotional and often-times financial burden that accompanies the loss of a close loved-one. Funeral Prearrangement meets this need.

Our staff of trained, certified, Funeral Prearrangement Professionals are specialists in their field. They can provide the insight, experience and professional counseling you deserve, free of charge or obligation. By meeting with one of our directors, you will receive honest, qualified answers to questions such as:

• What papers do I need to collect death benefits?
• Who should be contacted first when a death occurs?
• If I move, does my funeral plan and protection move with me?
• If so, how? Do you offer convenient, affordable payment plans?

Think carefully about what will be best for you and your family. Fully discuss why you desire certain arrangements and accompanying merchandise. By arranging today, you are assured peace of mind for you and your loved ones before the time of need.
