Pre-Arrangements

Every day we pre-arrange for our daily living: we take pride in our living arrangements, our homes, our apartments, we open bank accounts for the handling of our finances, and we purchase insurances for our health care, and our very lives, so that family members are relieved of these very important liabilities. We must therefore, prepare for our end of life concerns.

How many times has it been said in regard to burial arrangements: “I wish to take care of these things so that my children will not have to?” Parents, who have always taken care of their children, do so again when they pre-arrange their own funeral services and burials.

A pre-need purchase for burial or entombment/inurnment allows one to start making decisions at a calm and prudent time, relieving both economical and emotional burdens of an at-need arrangement.
