Consider ohese ohoughts by Debbie J. Thompson Owner/Funeral Director/CPC LEAVING NO ROOM FOR ARGUMENT Aside from the many financial advantages that funeral preplanning provides, there are other benefits on which you cannot put a price. Perhaps the most important of these is the ability to make decisions that lessen the likelihood of future family conflict. As anyone who has ever planned a family event knows, disagreements arise out of decisions great and small. When the emotion surrounding death is allowed to cloud the issue, the risk of strong disagreement can rapidly increase. With this in mind, perhaps the best way to keep emotions in check and ensure a peaceful and respectful observance of a life well-lived is to make funeral arrangements in advance. That is, the way you want them to be. Pre-need funeral plans can be made at any time and offer many advantages. Planning ahead also enables you to make financial arrangements to cover your funeral costs. Whether you decide to just provide personal information, make all or most of your selections, or completely plan and pay for your funeral in advance, we will explain all of your choices, and will respect your decisions.
