Advantages of Pre Planning
This is why it is so important to put your wishes in writing with us. Helping your spouse and other family members will give you peace of mind by having all the options spelled out in advance and reduce everyone’s anxiety at a most difficult time. There will be no doubts as to your final wishes.

Whether one chooses to Pre Plan because of their Medicaid “spend-down” or to compliment their estate plan, they will gain the advantage of peace of mind by creating a permanent record with us.
For many other reasons it is most important to be prepared and plan. If one dies out of state or the country, without a will or without having the cemetery plot researched ahead of time, not having a proper Pre Arrangment in place will only delay burial.
