Pre - Arrangements
| Pre - Arrange On - Line It takes less than 10 minutes to Complete our " Basic Planner" |
Why Plan Ahead? Peace of Mind Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice. Pre-planning provides you with the time needed to make practical, detailed decisions that reflect your standards, lifestyle, taste and budget. And we assure you and your family that the choices you make will be carried out as planned. When you finalize your plan, we can advise you of the total cost. You do not have to set aside funds for your plan, but doing so protects you against escalating funeral costs. By locking in today's funeral costs and ensuring that the necessary funds are set aside, you help relieve yourself of unnecessary future worry and your survivors of an unexpected expense.. Pre-Arrangment allows you to consider cost-effective options. There are many flexible payment options to meet your needs. In Georgia, prearranged funeral contracts are not counted as assets for Medicaid spend- down purposes and the death benefit of a preneed life insurance policy grows over time to help offset inflation and that growth may not be taxable to you. |

> comments = There is nothing I can say that is adequate to express the weight of the
sadness occasioned by the loss of our beloved friend. Jade was my high school
sweetheart; Connie and Coby were as a second family to me in those days, and Jade's
charismatic personality and Swiftian intellect made her companionship a balm for my
soul during times good and bad, and endeared her to me for as long as I shall live. We
became great friends in after-days; when I woke up in a hospital after a life-altering car
accident, hers was the first voice I heard and the first face I saw. We were in touch with
eachother for years to follow, even after I moved halfway across the globe. We laid
bare our souls to one another many times in the fifteen years of our friendship. The
last time we spoke, less than a week prior to her passing, it was of our respective
health problems. Jade entertained no delusions about the gravity of her condition; she
had been in and out of the hospital frequently!
> , and had been through numerous procedures and treatments; and yet every time
we spoke she was very happy with her life, and looked eagerly forward to the future
she planned to share with her betrothed, Justin. Her departure is one of the most
painful things I have ever had or will ever have to bear. She died on my birthday. I
know that she would not want anyone to pity her, and indeed I do not; I rejoice in my
heart to have been counted among her friends; I rejoice in the knowledge that I have
had a special share in the life of one so beautiful, so admirable, so much-adored; I
rejoice that wherever she goes she takes a part of me with her, a part given freely and
accepted graciously. I rejoice, knowing that Jade is now free. My deepest and most
sincere sympathies to Justin, Connie, Coby, and all of Jade's cherished loved ones.
May we each find her again someday.
> With Love Everlasting, Jeffrey Cannon
