PLAN AHEAD

Take the first step.

The kindest thing you can do for the people you love.

WHY PRE-PLAN

Pre-planning protects the people you love.

It documents your wishes, removes guesswork, and shields the people you love from making difficult decisions in the middle of grief.

Your wishes, on your terms

You decide what feels right — the service, the readings, the resting place. We help you put it all on paper.

Your family is spared the guessing

When the time comes, no one is left wondering what you would have wanted. The hardest decisions are already made.

Costs are locked in, not left open

Lock in today's prices and remove a financial unknown from your family's future. We will walk through every line together.

HOW IT GOES

What happens when you sit down with us.

"A pre-planning conversation is private, free, and never rushed."

We meet at the funeral home or at your kitchen table — whatever is easier. We walk through the choices together: service style, location, readings, music, resting place. Nothing is decided until you decide it. Many families start by simply documenting their wishes, with no obligation to pre-pay.

OUR PRE-NEED PLEDGE

Pre-planned elsewhere? We honor every contract.

We honor every pre-need contract — at no additional cost

If you or someone you know has already pre-planned a funeral or cremation at another funeral home and would like to change, we will honor ALL pre-need arrangements, burial policies and pre-need contracts from another funeral home at no additional cost to you. In addition, we will match any establishment's published prices.

OUR PARTNERSHIP

Have the Talk of a Lifetime

We partner in the Have the Talk of a Lifetime initiative — a national nonprofit of the Funeral and Memorial Information Council that helps families record the stories that matter most. The conversation is free. The peace of mind stays.
