Prepaid funeral plans safeguard against the unexpected

Having a prepaid funeral plan and prepaid cemetery arrangements is no different than protecting your family with insurance or estate planning. Funeral planning in a time of immediate need can be incredibly stressful and overwhelming for a grieving family. Planning ahead gives you time to research your options, communicate with family members and even add personal details to your memorial. Funeral arrangements made ahead of time give your loved ones the gift of saying goodbye peacefully.

Protect against price inflation with a prepaid funeral

Planning a funeral or burial ahead of time allows you to pay today’s prices for future services, protecting you and your loved ones against rising costs. And with a prepaid funeral plan, not only can you ease the emotional and financial burdens of those closest to you, but you can get up to 15% off pre-paid cremation and cemetery property* and get 10% off funeral plans** through July 31.

Your prepaid funeral plan protects you for life

Unlike a life insurance policy, where you make ongoing payments for coverage, your prepaid funeral plan protects you for life, when completely paid. You have the option to pay for your plan at once or with low monthly payments over 3-5 years. And once paid off, you and your family never have to worry about the time, stress or cost of planning your funeral service ever again.

“After seeing so many friends and relatives deal with the stress and worries of funeral arrangements on top of the sadness of the death of a loved one I decided that I would eliminate that burden for my family and go with pre planning...Final expenses are not cheap and decisions aren't easy, yet I never felt pressured or demeaned in any way when I didn't decide right away.”

“My parents pre arranged their funerals. So when my father passed, my mother had the peace of mind to know that everything was taken care of. The staff were kind, compassionate, polite, caring and helpful.”

“Pre-planning a funeral for a parent is important, especially when you vow to honor their wishes. Making that initial call to start the funeral arrangement process, needless to say, one of the most difficult issues to discuss and calls to make, especially when your loved one is still full of life.”
