Pre-Funding

While this is not necessary, pre-funding eases the finanical burden on you loved ones and ensures the services you choose are covered.

What is Pre-Planning?

Pre-planning is the process of arranging for funeral, cremation and/or ceremony services prior to a death occurring. When pre-planning, you can go over all aspects of the services you would like in order to have your wishes written down. This alleviates the pressure on family at the time of death in order for them to focus on grieving instead of making decisions that may or may not be what you requested. Some people take this a step further and choose to pre-fund the choices they have made so they can protect the funds needed for their services and give their family the peace of mind that finances are in order.
