Benefits of Preplanning

Allows the Family to Focus on Preserving Memories

Pre-Planning will eliminate unnecessary stress brought on by a loved one’s passing. This preparation allows the family to grieve at the time of their loss and celebrate important memories.

Facing Difficult Decisions Related to Death

Not everyone is comfortable planning the final details of their life. However, pre-planning not only gives you peace of mind about your final wishes but also alleviates many of the stresses and your family will go through as they grieve the loss of a loved one.

Let’s Your Wishes Be Known

The death of a loved one often brings unwanted conflicts. One family member may see arrangements carried out differently than another. These differences can ignite unexpected discord at a time when emotions are elevated.

Family conflicts often overshadow the preservation of memories and healing. Family members know your wishes related to funeral services and business arrangements before your passing. This additional time will allow your family to transition effectively through their loss.

Offers Peace of Mind

Our Serenicare staff guarantees your arrangements will be carried out as you’ve directed. Following the death of a loved one, there are more than 150 decisions that have to be made within the first day or two of passing. Once your plans have been arranged, you and your family can rest easy knowing at the time of death, final decisions have been made. This reduces stress and allows for timely grieving and healing.

Offers Flexible Funding Options

When you pre-plan your funeral arrangements, there are significantly more options to properly set aside funds. These options include, but are not limited to: a pre-need policy, life insurance, or scheduled payments for arrangements. At the time of death, services are traditionally paid for, so having options ahead of time will reduce the financial stress associated with loss.

Common Questions about Preplanning

  • What steps are involved in preparranging a funeral?

    The first step would be to write down your wishes. Indicate if you would prefer burial or cremation. Write down your ideas for the service you would like, cemetery choice, etc. If you've made those choices, or even if you're unsure, schedule a time to meet with one of our funeral directors who can explain the different service options, merchandise choices, as well as the different ways to pay for the funeral.

  • What information do I need to prearrange a funeral?

    You'll need basic information about yourself or the person you are planning for, such as date of birth, marital status, parent's full names, etc. Besides the biological information, you'll need to choose burial or cremation, what type of service you'd like, what cemetery to use, etc. Our caring staff will help you with this process.

  • Do I have to pay in advance?

    Preplanning is merely making your wishes known; however, most families who do this choose to pre-fund their funeral as well. Doing so will relieve the financial burden from your family and offers peace of mind to you.

  • Can I transfer my plans to or from another funeral home?

    If you have plans at another funeral home and would like to move them here, we will help you do that. If you move from the area and would like to transfer your arrangements to another funeral home, we will assist you with that as well.
