The Importance of Planning Ahead


It is one of the most difficult times in one's life when they are faced with the loss of a loved one. Their world becomes chaotic with a mix of emotions and new responsibilities, many of which they have never experienced before.

Making funeral arrangements and purchasing a cemetery plot are daunting tasks for a grief-stricken individual which is why we recommend pre-planning. Knowing that final arrangements and a burial location have been secured will not only ease your own concerns, but it will alleviate an additional task for your family or friends during this emotional time.
​
Your first step in the planning process is to visit a funeral home to begin your arrangements. Once that is underway, we can assist you in selecting and purchasing a grave.

To move forward, please complete our brief Grave Purchase Survey so our foreman can locate a grave that meets your needs: Grave Purchase Survey

If necessary, we can set up a date and time for our foreman to show you the grave locations available after you complete the survey. General appointment times are Monday - Friday from 8 AM - 11 AM, but may vary depending on availability.
