What to Know Before Pre-Planning

- Service Type: Choose between burial, cremation, or memorial-only.
- Personal Preferences: Document music, readings or cultural considerations.
- Pre-Paid Options: Lock in pricing or discuss payment choices.
- Documentation: Arrangements are typically recorded and easy to access.
- Flexible Updates: Plans can usually be revised over time.
Our role is to provide straightforward guidance and support with each step. Contact our team if you’d like to learn more about how pre-planning works.

Some people choose to pre-pay for themselves, while others do so on behalf of a family member. Payment structures may vary, and we focus on providing documentation as part of the process.

What is a pre-arranged funeral plan?
A pre-arranged funeral plan involves recording your preferences in advance without paying upfront. This can include decisions about service format, location, burial or cremation, and personal requests.
These plans are typically stored securely and can be referred to when needed. Having these details on record may assist family members in understanding your choices and reduce the number of decisions required later.
Is pre-paying for a funeral required when pre-planning?
No, pre-paying is not required when making a funeral plan. Some people choose to record their wishes without financial commitment, while others prefer to pay in advance.
Pre-paid options may offer pricing certainty based on today’s rates, depending on the provider. Payment terms can vary and should be discussed in detail before proceeding.
Can funeral plans be changed once they’re in place?
