Having a prepaid funeral plan is no different than protecting your family with insurance or estate planning. Funeral planning in a time of immediate need can be incredibly stressful and overwhelming for a grieving family. Planning ahead gives you time to research your options, communicate with family members and even add personal details to your memorial. Funeral arrangements made ahead of time give your loved ones the gift of saying goodbye peacefully.

It's always the right time to plan for the future. You can call us today to schedule an appointment to walk through the preplanning process; in Clawson 248-435-9010 and in Shelby 586-731-4150.
