Pre-Planning Information

About Cremation Pre-Planning

Planning your own cremation service is not something that you may like to think about. In fact, we’re pretty confident that, if left to your own devices, you might choose to avoid it altogether.

But what happens if you do? Let us say just two words: nothing good.

By avoiding end-of-life planning, you’re giving up your authority over some of the most critical decisions you would ever make in your lifetime, leaving them to be made by relatives who are caught in the emotional turmoil of grief after losing someone they loved.

When you do the right thing and decide to make your cremation pre-arrangements, you can do so at your own pace when you feel calm, healthy, and rational.

We promise to make it as easy on you as possible. You can pre-arrange your cremation using our secure pre-arrange online network or by visiting us to speak directly with a staff member.

You can also make pre-arrangements for a loved one. If you have questions or would prefer to speak to someone directly, don't hesitate to contact us at 603-458-5260.

Cremation Pre-Arrangement Process

The Basics of Planning

Here's a break-down of the process:
  • Set goals
  • Review limitations
  • Look at available options
  • Weigh the pros and cons of each option
  • Talk to others about the best options
  • Arrive at a final decision
In the case of cremation pre-arrangement, another two necessary steps are involved:
  • Write out your plan with as many details as possible.
  • Send your plan to the funeral home and provide a copy to your executor.
There are two ways for you to complete your funeral pre-arrangement plan.

When is the Best Time to Pre-Plan Your Cremation?

We want to say “right now,” but know you may not be emotionally ready to take on this task. Perhaps the best time to begin making your cremation pre-arrangements is when you have a family you wish to protect from the emotional and financial burdens they will carry when you leave them with no plan at all.

By taking time now to collect cremation cost information and calmly making choices related to your funeral arrangements, you'll be protecting your family against the stress of having to make these decisions at a time of extreme emotional stress. This way, you can carefully choose specific items you want and need... and pay for them now. Prepaid Investments through funeral homes allow families to fund their funerals in advance through different investment vehicles.

Pre-Payment Options

There are a growing number of options available to the public today when seeking to preplan and prepay their final wishes. We can tailor a plan that's right for you. From single pay plans to automatic monthly bank withdrawals designed to meet anyone's budget concerns, our staff would be pleased to outline available choices.

A prepaid cremation can protect you and your family from future inflationary trends while providing the peace of mind of knowing that they will be cared for after you are gone. Below you will find more detailed explanations of the plans that we have available.

If you would like to request an appointment after reviewing this information, we would be pleased to have one of our staff go over any additional questions you might have.

The Six Common Reasons for Pre-Planning a Cremation

Today, more individuals and families are making the decision to prearrange their cremation service than ever before. Because of the factors such as inflation, fewer extended family members living close by, and other changes in our society, planning your own cremation can make a lot of sense.

In a recent survey, these were the most common reasons people gave for prearranging their own cremation service:

  • Communicates your wishes
  • Reduces stress for friends and family at an already emotional time
  • Saves money
  • It may guarantee your family will never have to pay more for your cremation — no matter what happens with inflation
  • Shows you care
  • Relieves your loved ones of the financial responsibility
Any one of those reasons is good, but when you take them all together, it’s easy to see why pre-planning your cremation is one of the smartest things you can do.
