For financial and personal reasons, advance planning for ourselves or another family member is a smart decision. Not only can we rest assured our final wishes will be followed, but all prepaid funerals are frozen at today’s costs and fully insured. Perhaps most importantly, pre-planning takes some of the emotional, and at times financial burden off the shoulders of loved ones during a difficult time. From estate and funeral planning to important health care concerns, including power of attorney, we’ll be your helpful advisors every step of the way. Our friendly staff is available to advise and counsel you, without charge or obligation, regarding prearrangement. Call or stop in today for more information about our services and flexible pre-planning payment options.
