Benefits of Preplanning
Lets Your Wishes Be Known
The death of a loved one often brings about unwarranted stress and turmoil among families. One family member wants one thing, while another family member wants something different. By planning ahead, you help prevent those disagreements by letting your family know what your wishes are and how you want your funeral service to be carried out and your business handled.
Peace of Mind
Our staff guarantees we will carry out the arrangements you want, just as you directed. Once the plans have been arranged, you and your family can rest easy knowing at the time of death, those uncomfortable decisions have been made. In a time when a family should be able to easily grieve, preplanning allows for that to happen.
Flexible Funding Options
When you preplan your funeral arrangements, there are more options when it comes to funding the funeral. A preneed insurance policy, life insurance policy or other payment options can all be arranged before the time of death. At the time of death, services must be paid in full, so having options ahead of time can also reduce other stress related to losing someone.
Relieves The Burden From Family
Following the death of a loved one, there are more than 150 decisions that have to be made within the first day or two following the death. Those stressful decisions on top of the stress of grieving a loss can be eliminated by arranging your final wishes ahead of time. If those decisions are made, your loved ones aren’t left wondering what you would have wanted and how they should proceed with funeral plans. With those decisions out of the way, your loved one can begin the healing process sooner.
Why Cremation?
Cremation is becoming the most popular method of disposition in the Midwest for spiritual, financial, and environmental reasons.
Spiritual beliefs connect us to each other in a meaningful way, and they guide and form the base upon which our decisions are made. While many believe human nature is the cornerstone, a majority base their spiritual beliefs on their religious affiliations. Regardless of your stance, "ashes to ashes, and dust to dust" has significant meaning for us all. Many believe this is the basis upon which most organized religions deem cremation as an acceptable method of final disposition.
Let's face it, traditional funeral home and cemetery costs are steep and will only get higher. For many, a traditional funeral is the third most expensive purchase they make in their lifetime, just behind home and auto purchases. With a cost savings of 75 percent or more, it's easy to see why more and more people are choosing simple cremations over traditional funeral services. It's your money. You decide what's best for your family.
Cremation is also more environmentally-responsible than traditional methods because it eliminates the burial of large amounts of wood, steel, and embalming chemicals.
