Pre-Planning
Many people plan for life events such as weddings and vacations well in advance, but they do not plan for that which is certain to occur, their funeral. While most people do not want to think about their own morality, the time to pre-plan your funeral is now (please click here for our Pre-Planning Form). The primary advantages of pre-planning your funeral is to relieve the burden on your loved ones and ensure your funeral is carried out according to your wishes. Taking the time now to plan your funeral is one less task your loved ones will need to worry about once you’ve passed. Pre-planning your funeral is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give to your family.
Payment Options
When pre-planning your funeral, you have the option to pre-pay for the services. Everyone may opt to pre-pay, but should you choose to, we will guide you through the steps for pre-paying.
Pre-paying for your funeral reduces the financial burden on your loved ones after your passing. We can arrange a payment plan that suits your needs, from a single payment to monthly payments through personal deposits or bank standing orders. By pre-paying, your family does not have to wonder if they have spent too much or too little on your funeral. Pre-payment also protects you and your family from inflation. Each year thousands of people decide to pre-plan and/or pre-pay their funeral, these plans are designed to be flexible and can accommodate the many changes that often occur in people’s lives.
