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.

The following articles provide many practical suggestions to help you move toward healing in your unique grief journey.

I knew my husband's passing was eminent when his status at the nursing home changed to hospice care. I began reaching out to funeral homes a couple days after being notified. John Alloway was the only funeral director that responded to my online inquiry about cremation services. He replied to me on a Wednesday and I planned to get in touch with him via telephone to confirm our business relationship that following Monday. Sadly, my husband passed on Saturday, just three days after John replied to my online inquiry. I had yet to speak to him. The nurse supervisor at the nursing home was ready to

My dad passed away December 2018 and arrangements for cremation were made through Alloway Funeral home the first week of January 2019. I have yet to receive his death certificate (today's date is 10/3/19) and have reached out many times, but it is always an answering service. It also took about 6 weeks to receive his ashes, and that was after me reaching out several times. At this point I just want his death certificate so I can finalize his affairs.

Mr. Alloway I cannot put into words my gratitude for the beautiful services you provided my father. In such a difficult time in my life you provided such comfort to me and my family. You respected my father, his wishes, and our family. You cared so much about our wishes and the pain we are going through and at no point were you pushy or seeming to be into this for financial gain. All that you have done for my father and family through this difficult time speaks volumes of your character and funeral home. I have been to many funerals in my life and this by far was the hardest for me but I find comfort
