No one wants to think about the time when he or she dies. However, if you do not make arrangements ahead of time, someone else will decide where you'll be buried and how much of your estate will be spent.



Most likely this person will be a grieving member of your immediate family. Pre-planning your cemetery and funeral home arrangements is an act of love that provides several financial and emotional benefits to your family.



TOGETHERNESS - A husband and wife can share their feelings and decide together. This saves your loved ones heartache, expense and inconvenience at the time of a death. We would rather see both of you now rather than later when death forces you to see us alone on the worst day of your life!



SATISFACTION - All family members can participate in the family's cemetery and funeral home arrangements. Pre-planning guarantees everyone's satisfaction.



INFLATION - Based on the last five decades, we know cemetery expenses will continue to increase. Pre-arrangement will allow you to freeze these costs at today's prices.



CONSERVES INSURANCE - Life insurance is for the living, not the deceased. It helps your family adjust to the loss of income that a death causes. If pre-need arrangements are not made, your family will spend a significant amount of the insurance proceeds on cemetery and funeral home arrangements.



PEACE OF MIND - When a death occurs in any family or among friends, the grief is tremendous and the healing time is very long. Your family will know that your wishes have been carried out. There will be no second-guessing. This peace of mind is worth far more than the dollars



PAYMENTS - Ground burial, Mausoleum or Cremation are expenses every family must pay some day. You can meet these needs today out of your current income through budget payments.
