Pre-Planning with Faith and Hope Funeral Home

Planning ahead gives us the opportunity to prepare for future events of importance to us and those we love. It also makes sense to plan for that which is inevitable.

The process of making plans for your own funeral – or that of a loved one – well in advance of need is called Preplanning. It includes writing out and setting up a permanent record of your wishes. The written expression of your thinking as to the type of service, burial location and other details are very important, along with your written record of vital statistics. Many people also choose to pay for their funeral in advance. To Pre fund is an option that more people are choosing because it allows you to consider cost-effective options at a time when you are better prepared to make sound, fiscally responsible decisions.

Prearrangement means that you have taken the opportunity to both preplan and prefund. Our staff will meet with individuals or families in advance of need to explain, educate and provide information materials for prearranging. This service is provided free of charge in hopes that it will bring you “peace of mind” and leave a “love gift” for your family. There is a peaceful solace that comes in knowing that your wishes will be respected and your family will have fewer decisions to make during a difficult time.

We encourage people to become acquainted with the costs and many decisions that need to be made when a loved one encounters the inevitable. Having to discuss arrangements at the time of need is the most difficult most people will face in a lifetime. The bible speaks of the “last enemy to be conquered is death.” When we plan ahead, we face our last enemy and conquer it in our minds.

We have provided a preplanning form to be printed out and completed. Since we are all unique, some of the items listed may apply to your life and some you may wish to leave blank. We would encourage you to file this information with our funeral home and we will type a brief history for you and your family.
