Thinking ahead can bring peace of mind. Our preplanning resources guide you through important decisions, helping you and your loved ones feel prepared and supported when the time comes. Preplanning checklist:

- Personal information
- Final resting preferences
- Choosing a casket or urn
- Cemetery arrangements
- Type of service and location
- Music, readings, and tributes
- Visitation and reception plans
- Burial clothing and personal items
- Obituary details and announcements
- Financial plans and payment options
- Insurance and benefits information
- Legal documents and estate planning
- Family contacts and decision-makers
- Selecting a funeral provider

When you preplan, you can decide how detailed you’d like to be. Some people outline specific ceremony details or requests, while others focus on the essentials, such as burial preferences and legal information. No matter how much you choose to include, documenting your wishes will help reduce stress and uncertainty for your loved ones.
