| What can be done prior to death occurring? |
| In the case of an imminent death, families can still meet with a funeral director to record wishes and make pre-arrangement decisions. |
|
| Can I make pre-arrangement decisions at an earlier age when death is not imminent? |
| Yes. Families can meet with a pre-need counselor to record wishes and make pre-arrangement decisions years in advance of death. These decisions can also be pre-funded through a pre-need trust or insurance contract, freezing the cost of the services, thus guarding against future inflation. (For more information concerning pre-funded contracts, read Question #1 under "Prepaid Funeral Contracts". |
|
| Is there a charge to meet with a pre-need counselor or to place pre-arrangement information on file with a funeral home? |
| No. Consultation with a pre-need counselor is a complimentary service. |
|
| Does a pre-arrangement appointment require a great amount of time? |
| No. Most appointments last from one to two hours. |
|
| Can a pre-need counselor come to my home for my appointment? |
| Yes. The pre-need appointment can take place in the offices of the funeral home or in the convenience and privacy of your home. |
