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.
