Preplanning versus prefunding? I've heard both terms, what is the difference?
Preplanning is making all of your arrangements ahead of time so that everything can be conducted according to your wishes, for peace of mind for both you and your loved ones. Prefunding is taking care of all costs for your planning, so that everything is taken care of for you and your family.
Can I move a previously planned arrangement?
Yes. If you choose to move your arrangement to another cemetery, we can help transfer your plans to any cemetery in the United States that accepts the contract. You should never have to feel stuck in your decisions.
Can I take care of the costs now?
Yes. You are welcome to take care of all costs now, so that later on, all your family has to do is to focus on and celebrate their life. When you choose to prefund your final arrangements, your money is put in a state-approved funding option until needed. After your funeral is paid for in full, you will never have to pay more for the guaranteed items you listed on your contract.
If I preplan with Stubbs-Conner Funeral Home & Cremation Services, what are my options if I change my mind later on?
When you preplan with Stubbs-Conner Funeral Home & Cremation Services, your plan will go where you go. No matter where you reside at the time of your passing, no matter what funeral home you choose to work with, your plan will be transferable to any funeral home in the United States that accepts the contract. Your peace of mind is of the utmost importance to us.
I want to approach my family and talk to them about my plans. Do you have suggestions for doing this in the best way possible?
You are truly helping your family and doing a great deed by taking care of planning something that is so personal and important to you. Remember to respect their feelings and emotions, as this can possibly be a difficult subject to broach with them. Assure them that you are making these plans because you love them and want them to feel free to celebrate life and heal together when the time comes.
What do I do when I have completed all my planning? Is there anything else I should be aware of or need to do?
