Every day, we share reminders about the importance of life insurance and advance planning. Commercials regularly explain the average cost of funerals, yet many families still delay making arrangements until a loss occurs.

You don’t have to enroll with any specific person what matters is finding a dependable agent or company and securing coverage that fits your needs. Planning ahead helps protect your loved ones from emotional and financial strain during an already difficult time.

No family should have to grieve and struggle financially at the same time. Unfortunately, many frustrations arise during arrangements over costs for services and merchandise that were chosen without prior planning.

Please remember: funeral services are requested by families in their time of need; they are never solicited. Advance planning allows for clarity, peace of mind, and informed decisions.
As a community, we can do better by prioritizing preparation, education, and responsibility for ourselves and for those we love.
