Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
Most of us are not prepared to plan and carry out a funeral ceremony for someone we love. And so much of the information available on this critically important subject fails to focus on what is most important: having a personalized, meaningful funeral that helps families and friends begin the healing process of mourning after the death of someone we love.

A great family friend of mine just had her husband pass away and had him cremated here. What a God awful mistake that was cause she got his ashes back and went around to spread them at sites that meant alot to them and when she reached in and grabbed a handful to spread at her first destination and there were large bone fragments and WHOLE TEETH! they had given no prior warning that she should expect something so horrifying for someone grieving! She called my family absolutely destroyed and inconsolable and there is no excuse for this! I highly recommend taking your loved ones to a funeral home

I was there in Nov to see my father who had passed away. It was a nice place with very nice helpful people. I just wish it had a small connected room maybe with a half wall with something like lattice or something to be able for family members to sit in at least semi private area, and still be able to see out. I would recommend this place.
