read moreMost of us prepare for what is possible, but seldom for the inevitable. Today, more and more people are arranging their final wishes in advance of death. Pre-arranged and/or pre-funded funeral, cremation and cemetery arrangements considerably ease a family's burden when death occurs. It can also play an integral part in financial planning. Pre-planning final wishes is an effective way to make sure that a family member's wishes will be represented after they die. We will sit down with them (and family and friends, if desired) to discuss all the options available and help them decide with what choices they feel most comfortable.
