Consider ohese Ohoughts by Debbie J. Thompson Owner/Funeral Director/CPC HAVING THE FINAL SAY Divorce and remarriage can produce circumstances in which second spouses and the children of the deceased may be at odds. Matters to do with disposition of a loved one's body are difficult enough, and when they involve opposing views, the high emotion and time constraints surrounding a funeral can add to the tension. One way to diffuse the stress caused by such a potentially volatile situation calls for the person at the center of it all to pre-empt any argument by making funeral prearrangements. We all have it in our power to make our wishes known to others before the time comes to carry them out. Doing so can bring harmony when and where it is sorely needed 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, our trained professionals will explain all of your choices, and will respect your decisions. If you are interested in learning more about the burial services we offer, please call us today or visit our beautiful funeral home Celebrating Lives and Healing Hearts.
