Frequently asked questions

What steps are involved in prearranging a funeral?

The first step would be to write down your wishes. Indicate if you would prefer burial or cremation. Write down your ideas for the service you would like, cemetery choice, etc. If you've made those choices, or even if you're unsure, schedule a time to meet with Keaton so he can explain the different service options, merchandise choices, as well as the different ways to pay for the funeral.

Do I have to pay in advance?

Preplanning is merely making your wishes known, and it does not require any payment. Many families, though, opt for pre-need which is both the preplanning and pre-funding of their funeral. Let us talk you through your options to determine which is best for you.

Can I transfer my plans to or from another funeral home?

Absolutely! If you have plans at another funeral home and would like to move them here, we will help you do that. If you move from the area and would like to transfer your arrangements to another funeral home, we will assist you with that as well.
