| Of all the ways
one can express love, one of the most thoughtful involves funeral planning
before the need arises. We realize that it is not always an easy thing to
talk about. Pre-arrangements, however, provide peace of mind for everyone
involved. |
|
Anyone can
pre-plan their own funeral at our funeral home, but family members or even
friends are encouraged to participate in the process. We feel that
it is important that all persons that will be involved in making funeral
arrangements have their questions and concerns addressed before the time
of need.
 |
There is no cost
for one of our funeral directors to assist your family in
starting the pre-planning process. We will answer all questions you may
have. We feel that it is important for you to meet with a licensed funeral
director that is experienced in all aspects of funeral service. One of our
directors can meet with you at our funeral home or at your home, whichever
you prefer. |
Pre-planning may
or may not include pre-paying. Pre-paying for your funeral will insure
that your family will be relieved of much of the financial burden. We will
assist in selecting services and merchandise that meet both your budget
and your wishes. Our prices are itemized so that you pay for only those
items that you choose -- you control the costs.
The state of
Nebraska allows individuals to fund pre-planned funerals with either a
Certificate of Deposit or through life insurance coverage. We assist
families in setting up a Funeral Trust at their local bank with a C.D. We
also offer the Forethought Funeral Plan funded with a Forethought Life
Insurance whole life policy. The Forethought Life Insurance Company is
located in Batesville, Indiana, and is the nation’s leader in this
industry.
You may start pre-planning by completing the following pre-arrangement
form. We encourage you to copy the form for your records and submit it to
us. We will start a file of your arrangements at our funeral home. We can
set up an appointment to discuss funding options for your funeral plan or
answer any questions that you may have.
