Why Plan Ahead?

Preplanning allows you to consider options, create a unique celebration, relieve family burden, and potentially prepay to save money and protect against inflation.

What If I Move?

Preplanned arrangements and prepayments are easily transferable to any funeral home in the United States.

Where Do I Start?

Check the preplanning checklist, then preplan online or schedule a meeting with staff.

What to Wear

Try to find out the dress code before you attend, so that you can be sure you’ll dress appropriately. If you aren't sure, simply try to dress in a conservative way that shows respect for the family and other mourners. For men, a suit and a conservative tie is usually a safe bet. Women should generally wear a conservative dress, skirt, or pants with a tasteful blouse.

Religious & Ethnic Customs

Traditions and customs differ among various communities, ethnic groups, and religions, and it's often helpful to ask beforehand about any special considerations. We can answer many of your questions and can point you toward resources that offer more information.

What to Say

Express your sympathy in your own words, however it feels right to you. Kind words about the loved one who has passed are always appropriate, and a simple “I'm sorry for your loss” or “My thoughts and prayers are with you” can be meaningful and comforting for the bereaved.
