What is Pre-Planning?

Pre-planning is simply forward thinking at a time that is convenient and less emotional for you and your loved ones. When you pre-plan, you go through the process of preparing and documenting your funeral arrangements and direction; recording your wishes ahead of time so that those whom you care about will not later be faced with making these very hard decisions during the most difficult of times. By taking advantage of pre-planning, you can give a great deal of comfort to loved ones by alleviating the stress that comes from guessing what you may have liked or wanted. Pre-planning gives the gift of peace of mind while at the same time providing loved ones with a sense of comfort knowing that they have carried out your wishes.

How Do I Get Started?

All you have to do is give us a call; and we will sit down with you to discuss every possibility that might interest you while staying within your financial constraints.

What are the Financial Benefits of Pre-Planning?

• Freeze today’s prices
• If for some reason you need to go on state aid in the future, these assets will be protected.

What is the difference between Pre-Planning and Pre-Paying?

When you pre-plan, you do not need to pay for everything in advance – your estate can pay for the services at the going prices at the time when your funeral is held. When you plan is complete, we will keep it on file until it is needed. However, if you pre-pay at the time you make your pre-arrangements, you can lock in today’s prices. We offer several affordable payment options.

What is the difference between a Revocable Trust and an Irrevocable Trust?

A REVOCABLE TRUST is a trust that any amount of money may be deposited into. At any time, you may ask for this money and the interest it has made. At the end of the year you will receive a 1099 statement on which you must pay taxes on the interest as it is considered income.

AN IRREVOCABLE TRUST is most commonly purchased by someone who eventually might need care in excess of his or her assets. Once purchased, it can be used for burial purposes only. This trust can be started for any amount and may be added to at any time.

What if the cost of the services/products that were Pre-Paid has greatly increased at the time of my death?

Once you pre-pay for a product or service you are guaranteed that for no additional money. The interest gained goes towards any increase in any of the items that were selected in the contract; you will not be responsible for any price increases.

Preplanning involves making choices about your end-of-life celebration. This is best accomplished by working with a funeral planning professional who has special training and expertise. They can assist you in creating this personalized celebration of your life.

Many people have already been through the preplanning process. An AARP study showed that 34% of people over the age of 50 have already preplanned a funeral for themselves and/or someone else.**AARP, Funeral and Burial Planners Survey (2007)
