Pre-planning a funeral has many benefits to both you and your family. It clearly expresses your wishes ahead of time, allowing your family to complete the funeral arrangements you desire. You can lessen the emotional and financial burden of your survivors during a sorrowful time. Arrangements can be made either at the funeral home, or we can meet with you at your home.
The death of a loved one can be one of life's most difficult moments. The depth of our grief is determined by the closeness of our relationship to the person who died and to the circumstances surrounding the death. Grieving is a process that takes time. We do not get over a loved one's death; rather, we integrate his/her memory into our lives and become reconciled to life without that person.
