Pre-Arrangement Information
Why Pre-Arrange Your Burial or Cremation?
Planning for a burial or cremation, especially at the time of need, can be an emotional and daunting task. More than 100 decisions must be made when planning a burial, sometimes in just a matter of hours following the death of a loved one. The best way to ease this burden and ensure that your final wishes are honored is to plan ahead and make these decisions in a calm setting without time constraints. Pre-arranging a burial or cremation is something that you do not only for yourself but also for the benefit of your family and friends.

The Benefits of Pre-Arrangement are Threefold:
Logistical, Emotional & Financial.
Logistical. A significant amount of personal data and coordination is required in order to plan a burial or cremation. Do family or friends know the maiden name of the deceased’s mother, or both parents’ birth states? Will they know the dates and locations of military service? What about the location where the deceased would like to be buried or scattered? Pre-arranging these details ensures that the necessary personal data and decisions are organized and documented, negating the need to track them down following a loved one’s death.
Emotional. Pre-arranging a burial or cremation removes the heavy burden of decision-making from grieving survivors. If a pre-arrangement is in place, family and friends can feel at peace knowing that details have already been specified and arranged in the exact manner that the deceased would prefer. Pre-arranging these details with ample time to think about them also insures that they will be practical decisions that reflect the deceased person’s standards, lifestyle, taste and budget. Pre-arrangements give family and friends the gift of certainty that the deceased’s final wishes are fulfilled.
Financial. If a person chooses to pre-arrange their burial or cremation, they contractually lock into prices applicable at the time that they make and fund the pre-arrangements, rather than the actual cost of the arrangements at the time of the deceased’s death. This can amount to a significant savings in light of the fact that funeral costs have risen at a rate of approximately 3 percent each year.
