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.

I went to many funeral homes before I settle on John Rago and sons. Peter was very attentive to my needs for my mother and did a wonderful job on her. She looked absolutely gorgeous and look like she was sleeping. it was I am sure not easy to achieve as she was very thin and sick for a long time. The facility was very comfortable and lay out was very neat. I have the most positive memories from the wake under the circumstances. the fueral went really well and Peter was exceptionally professional. I am happy I went with this funeral home.
Please be aware they are 2 Rago's. One is brothers and

Rago and sons funeral home did an outstanding job at preparing my grandmother for wake and funeral. The hospitality and services provided were amazing and at all an awesome price. I hate to think of this but the next time we need a funeral home were definitely going here. Special thanks to Peter Rago, you did an outstanding job! A+++
