Our Memorial Guide Planning is a free service that we provide to our community. Lynda can help you make informative decisions, gather the vital statistic information that is necessary when a death occurs, and record your wishes.

Lynda is available to meet with you at your home or at the funeral home. Surveys done accross the country show that 86% of families feel it is their responsibility to make their own funeral arrangements, instead of leaving the burden to their loved ones.
Advance Planning is an honorable thing to do.
Every day we see grieving families that are not prepared to deal with funeral arrangements. They have just lost a loved one and they are emotionally devastated. They don't know what the deceased would have wanted, they tend to emotionally overspend, and in the end they wonder if they did it right. Many family members get involved and many times there is disagreement that can cause hurt feelings that last for years. Many times, what the family wants to do, they can't afford. It is difficult to come up with $1,000, not to mention $10,000.
Funeral costs across the country tend to double every 10 years. Will your family be prepared?
- Guarantee the costs of today for the rest of your life.
- Assure that your wishes will be followed, in accordance with the law. When your wishes are written down and prepaid, a funeral home has to follow them as they are. You can give written permission for changes if you choose to do so.
- Transfer to other funeral homes in the event that you should move from the area.
- Available as single payment or affordable payment plans. Most of the time, if death should occur while you are making payments, the balance will be paid off for you.
- Allow your spouse and family to keep valuable assets available to reorganize and to continue their quality of life without hardship.
- Exempt as an asset where the state is concerned for those needing state assistance.
- Discounts are available.
Help us help your family by really having everything taken care of. It is truly a blessing for all.
