Why Should I Pre-Plan?

In selecting a comprehensive pre-planning package, your specific arrangement requests will be documented in detail and kept on file, available for activation at the time of need. Once you've made your arrangement decisions, a payment schedule can be established that will comfortably fit your current income and budget. Most importantly, when our services are required, your wishes are carried out.

Doesn't My Will Ensure My Wishes?

With the preparation of a will and designation of an executor, many people's minds are put at ease. But frequently a will is not read and administered until after the conduction of the funeral service. Although loved ones have been provided for once death occurs, the arrangements and costs of the funeral still need to be addressed. By choosing to pre-plan, you are protecting your family against making difficult arrangement and financial decisions during an emotionally stressful time.

Aren't My Death Benefits Automatic?

In determining how your funeral arrangements will be financed, it is important to have up-to-date information about any insurance or government death benefits you are entitled to. A common misconception is that everyone is eligible for benefits through Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare of the military. Although you contribute to these accounts during your working and service year, many people don't realize that benefits are not automatically paid at the time of death. There are eligibility requirements that must be met before benefits may be collected and this is only after they have been applies for.

In reviewing your own situation, it is important to find out what has been paid into your account(s), as well as making sure you are in possession of your government and/or insurance policies. This valuable information we'll use to help you make sound pre-planning decisions, while ensuring that you fully understand the benefits you currently have.
