This 20 minute information session helps families in our community to get started with planning ahead in 4 very simple steps. With the help of a licensed Pre-Planning Advisor, families choose to plan ahead for funeral and cemetery services for many reasons. Halting the rising cost of inflation with guaranteed pricing, and ensuring that children or friends don’t have to worry about the planning process are 2 of the top reasons families state for taking this step. Learn how to obtain your Personal Planning Guide, free of charge. When completed, the guide answers about 95% of the questions that need answers at the time of someone’s passing. Additional benefits we will discuss include National transferability, Family First Cost Protection, and Away from home protection, to name a few. It may be a tough conversation to start, but in our professional experience, it is so much tougher when we don’t have it in advance.
