Pre-planning means sharing your wishes, basic information, and important decisions with your chosen funeral home ahead of time. It allows the funeral home to keep your preferences on file so your people have guidance when the time comes.
No. Pre-planning and pre-paying (also known as pre-funding) are different. Pre-planning means documenting your wishes and information. Pre-paying, or pre-funding, means setting aside funds in advance to help cover the cost of your arrangements. You can pre-plan your water cremation and funeral arrangements without pre-funding.
Pre-funding means setting aside money in advance for your funeral or cremation arrangements. This can help reduce the financial burden on your loved ones and make your wishes easier to carry out. Popular options for pre-funding include adding funds to a trust, a Payable Upon Death account, or via an insurance policy.
No. Creating a profile and documenting your wishes does not require payment. Pre-funding is completely optional, does not affect the support you and your people will receive at the time of your death, and can be discussed separately with your funeral director.
We keep your basic contact information, vital statistics, disposition preferences, chosen services, and any notes you want your loved ones to have. This helps reduce confusion later and gives your family a clear place to begin.
Yes. Everything is stored through the provider Parting Pro on a secure database.
After you create a profile, the funeral home will mail you a Gentle Water Welcome Packet. Inside, you'll find paperwork to complete and keep with your end-of-life documents, such as your medical directive and will.
Keep your completed documents somewhere your trusted person can access them. It is recommended to keep them with your other important end-of-life documents and tell your chosen person where they are.
Yes. This is one of the most important parts. Pre-planning can only really be guaranteed if the people who will handle your affairs at the time of your death know that the decision exists. Tell your chosen person where your documents are and how to contact the funeral home when needed.
Your preferences, wishes, and arrangements may change as life changes, and that's okay. You can contact the funeral home to update your information or make changes to your arrangements at any time. Your options for any pre-paid funds may depend on the type of pre-funding arrangement you choose. That's why everything is reviewed carefully before you make a decision.
