What is Preplanning?
Some things are inevitable. Preplanning is simply making funeral decisions and arrangements now.
Why Preplan?
In addition to removing the burden of making funeral arrangements from greiving loved ones, preplanning ensures that specific desires for the ceremony and the type of burial are honored. Preplanning a funeral offers great emotional and even financial security for individuals and their families.
How to Preplan
Begin by meeting with the funeral director and documenting all important statistical information and personal background. This meeting involves discussion about your personal wishes in regards to a funeral or memorial service.
When should I start?
