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.
Someone you love has died. You are now faced with the difficult, but important, need to mourn. Mourning is the open expression of your thoughts and feelings regarding the death and the person who died. It is an essential part of healing. The following articles provide many practical suggestions to help you move toward healing in your unique grief journey.

Last night, Bill Barclay went above and beyond for my family and a lost loved one of ours. During a time of great sadness and mourning he showed compassion, sympathy and helped us in a time of need. It’s something we will never forget and would like to thank him one more time.

If there was a way to give negative stars as a rating this would be the business that would receive it! When Bill Sr. and Bill Jr. were running things this was the ONLY funeral home my family utilized but since the "new generation" has integrated, we've seen the change from putting and caring about the family first to now being very uncaring, impersonal, and all about their bottom line. We will never be come back nor recommend them again.

Only funeral home my family ever used, Bill Sr. and Bill Jr. always comforted and made us feel like family, but after our last recent experience and treatment by the “3rd generation” we won’t ever come back here.

Felt extremely rushed and was shown no compassion after the passing of my aunt. Was viewing my aunts photo board and was rudely pushed and was told to “keep it moving” by one of the directors while grieving... i will never have another funeral here and will be upset if i have to attend one here.
