Thank you for the opportunity to talk about something every family will face.

Funeral preplanning is simply putting your wishes in writing and securing today’s prices. It removes the burden of difficult decisions and gives your family peace of mind when it matters most.

We also offer group presentations for churches, organizations, and community groups upon request.

With All Our Respect

Funeral Preplanning: A Gift of Love for Those You Leave Behind

The reality no one wants to talk about: When a loved one passes away without a plan families face emotionally difficult decisions in their worst moments. People can grieve properly when they aren't stressed out and trying to figure everything out.

*73% of people have not preplanned their funeral

* $12,000 - cost of average U.S. Funeral as of 2024 (doubles every 10 years)

* 48 hours - amount of time families have to make key decisions

What is funeral preplanning?
* pick a funeral home (who is coming to get you)
* traditional burial or cremation
* what cemetery or if/where scattered
* type of headstone

Preplanning is simply documenting your wishes in advance and prepaying at today's prices.

The Benefits: The gift you give your family:
* emotional relief
* financial protection
* your wishes are honored
* family harmony
* peace of mind

Busting the Myths around preplanning:
Myth:
It's morbid to plan my own funeral
I'm too young to think about this
my family knows what I want
It's to expensive to preplan
Fact:
It's an act of love - the greatest gift to your family
accidents happen at any age. peace of mind has no age limit
70% of families report conflict over arrangements without a plan
preplanning saves money by locking in current prices

Getting Started is easier than you think!
* Free consultation - 30 minutes, no obligation, no pressure
* personalize your plan - service, music, readings, meaningful details
* review and sign - simple paperwork: at your pace and with a trusted counselor
* payment options - one time, installments
* share with family - plan is stored securely (notify key loved ones)

Who should you refer?
Someone Who:
recently lost a parent of loved one
just retired or entering 60s
recently updated will or estate plans
caring for aging parents
mentions or worrying about leaving a burden
