Funeral pre-planning is not a new concept; however, it has received much publicity over the past few years.

Understanding pre-planning, and the benefits it provides, is one of the first steps you can take to help ease the emotional burden that confronts every family at a time of loss. Pre-planning gives you an opportunity to explore the various funeral service options available to you, make informed choices and decisions ahead of time, and express your wishes in writing. By making your preferences clear before the need arises, you help eliminate some of the confusion that accompanies loss, and you provide “peace of mind” to those closest to you. Pre-planning is a thoughtful and practical option for all families, regardless of age or health.

Today, as the need for personal care or nursing home care increases, more and more families are discovering that a “guaranteed, irrevocable funeral plan ” provides considerable financial benefits. It not only ensures that future funeral expenses will be met, but, in some cases, is a necessity for meeting eligibility requirements for medical assistance. We would be happy to discuss with you the details of establishing such a trust.
