  • What steps are involved in planning ahead for funeral wishes?

    You'll need basic information about yourself or the person you are planning for, such as date of birth, marital status, parents' 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.

  • What information do I need to plan a funeral in advance?

    You'll need basic information about yourself or the person you are planning for, such as date of birth, marital status, parents' full names, discharge papers for veterans, etc. Besides biological information, you'll also need to choose service details (burial or cremation, what type of service you'd like, what cemetery to use), but our caring staff will walk your through the process.

  • Is pre-paying for my funeral plan required?

    Pre-paying is not required, but it is something to thoughtfully consider. By taking care of the financial aspects of a funeral plan now, you remove a future financial burden from your survivors and give everyone - including yourself - peace of mind. 

  • If I move, can my funeral prearrangement plan go with me?

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