Why Pre-plan?
The stress of making funeral plans can be very difficult on loved ones. Most families have little knowledge what final arrangements their loved one desired and the expense of a funeral can easily create a financial burden for family. Pre-planning allows you to protect loved ones from additional emotional stress and can help to eliminate the financial burden of purchasing funeral goods and services.
What is a pre-need plan?
Simply put, a pre need plan consists of a pre-need funeral contract outlining the funeral goods and services that you select personally for yourself or your loved one. The second component is a pre-need insurance policy whose benefits are assigned to pay for the funeral goods and services you selected when the need arises. We can co-ordinate a payment plans that suits your needs, from a single payment plan to monthly bank account withdrawals. By pre-paying your funeral you eliminate your family second guessing on if they have spent too much or too little on your funeral.

Each year thousands of people decide to pre-plan and pre-pay their funeral, these plans are designed to be flexible and can accommodate the many changes that often occur in people’s lives.
