PLAN FOR THOSE YOU LOVE

Pre-planning with a Wilks Funeral Home means your fam-
ily and friends will not have the burden of making diffi-
cult decisions when you die. They may be emotionally
or financially unable to deal with the situation. Planning
ahead for your own funeral arrangements at Wilks also
ensures that your wishes will be honored.

No one has ever regretted having a plan on file and avail-
able when the family needs it the most. Most regrets come
when the opportunity of having ones wishes planned out
have been missed.

One point to keep in mind as you plan your final arrange-
ments is that you are doing this for your family. Some feel
that a service on their behalf would be unnecessary, but
that does not mean that loved ones left behind will feel
the same way. Provide your family and friends with an op-
portunity to memorialize and heal from their loss. Seek
out your family’s input as you plan and organize your fu-
neral arrangements.
