  Why Pre-Planning is a Good Idea

Peace of Mind

Arranging the service of a loved one, shortly after death occurs is an emotional burden. Have a plan before death occurs.

Personal Choices

By pre-planning, you are able to let your wishes be known. You can also make practical choices that reflect who you are. And by locking in your wishes with us, you can be assured your arrangements will be carried out the way you have intended.

Cost

By pre-funding your arrangements, you lock in today's funeral home costs. Your survivors will not be faced with additional funeral home expenses in the future. Also, this method of pre-funding will protect your family in the event that public assistance is a factor. The State of Illinois recognizes a qualified pre-funded funeral plan in determining eligibility for state aid.
