About Pre-Planning

Reasons to consider Pre-Planning
More and more people are pre-planning funerals and making prearrange-ments with their local funeral director. Preplanning provides peace of mind for everyone involved. A carefully preplanned ceremony can be the comforting to your family, as it spares them from having to face decisions that can be both emotionally and financially difficult at the time of death. It can give them lasting peace of mind to know that they have acted according to your wishes.

Making pre-arrangements can be as simple or as involved as you wish. You can make a selection of the services, casket, music, etc. or simply give only the biographical information that will be needed for notification of newspapers, legal forms, etc.


Another reason to preplan is to ensure that your family will receive all of the benefits for which they are entitled. It is important that all of your personal records, including bank account numbers, investment information, insurance policies and the location of important papers be accessible to your family in the event of a death. All of this and your personal wishes for your funeral can be recorded in a Personal Arrangement Guide booklet that we provide free of charge.

Although not required when making prearrangements, most people choose to set aside funds that will cover their future funeral expenses. We offer a variety of prepayment programs which allow you to control cost, avoid emotional overspending, and guarantee today's pricing. One of our directors can meet with you at your home or at our funeral home to explain the various programs and answer any questions.

Once your pre-arrangements are made and on file, when the time of need arises, a call to our funeral home will enable our firm to proceed with what you have planned. For further information about pre-planning, or for answers to your questions, simply give us a call @ (812) 752-3232 or send an email to the address below, with no cost or obligation.
