"The
first rule of funerals is - there are no rules."
-Doug
Manning, Author, Speaker and Minister. Pre-Need
The term "Pre-Need" is used to describe the process which allows
a person to plan their service before they actually need it.
This is a safe and a very compassionate way to plan your service
and save those you love from the decision-making process after
your death. We also have payment options available if you wish
to pre-fund your service. Please take a few minutes to complete
our on-line pre-need information form.
