Planning your own funeral is less complicated than you might expect, and it relieves a tremendous burden from your loved ones. Thinking about the details of a burial or cremation service when you’re calm and clear-headed is a much different experience than your loved ones trying to guess what you’d have wanted while they’re caught in a haze of grief.
If you're still not sure whether preplanning is right for you, consider these advantages:
You Plan According to Your Values
Preplanning allows you to control the details and arrange for what matters to you. You can be as specific or open with your wishes as you want.
It’s a Gift to Your Loved Ones
When the time comes, your loved one just needs to call us, and we’ll handle everything according to what you have on file. Planning ahead leaves your loved ones free to focus on taking care of each other.
