Santa Cruz Memorial

Between 70 and 75 decisions are made within the first 24-48 hours of death. It's difficult to think rationally while making so many decisions within days of losing someone. Pre-planning gives yourself, family, and friends peace of mind. It's easy, anyone can do it, and you can change your mind at any time.

You can decide on burial or cremation and your casket or urn type, pick what type of service you want (religious, military, non-traditional), choose which funeral home to use, and designate your pallbearers, pick any music or readings you want at your service.

Pre-paying for your funeral reduces stress and financial burden on your loved ones after your passing. Options include a single payment plan, to monthly bank account withdrawals. Pre-payment protects you and your family from inflation, and the growth is non-taxable. If your funeral costs less than the amount you have put aside, those funds will be refunded back to your beneficiaries.
