Take care of all the funeral pre-arrangement details and give you and your family the peace-of-mind you deserve.
The Basics of Planning
Here's a break-down of the process:
- Set goals
- Review limitations
- Look at available options
- Weigh the pros and cons of each option
- Talk to others about the best options
- Arrive at a final decision
In the case of funeral pre-arrangement, another two important steps are involved:
- Write out your plan with as many details as possible.
- Send your plan to the funeral home and provide a copy to your executor.
There are two ways for you to complete your funeral pre-arrangement plan.
Using the Online Pre-Planning Tool
Legacy Options's website features Pre-Arrange Online, an online form that can be used to record your end-of-life plan and send the completed form to our staff for safekeeping.
