 Pre-planning or pre-arranging is simply taking care of service details and other funeral arrangements before the need arises. When a death occurs, the surviving family members have many decisions to make and details to consider. Some of the decisions include:
- Deciding on funeral times and locations
- Choosing a cemetery grave space
- Selecting a cemetery marker or monument
- Notification of friends and family
- Notification of clergy
- Gathering statistical information for a death certificate
- Gathering information for an obituary
- Selecting printed material
- Selecting a casket and burial vault
- Choosing Casket Bearers
- Choosing other service details including readings and music
- Selecting floral arrangements
- Selecting clothing for the deceased
- Choosing a photograph for the newspaper notice
- Arranging for military or other fraternal participation
Many families are making some or all of these decisions in advance. Rehkamp & Horvath Funeral Directors would be happy to provide an experienced professional for a free, no-obligation consultation for you and your family to assist you with your own pre-planning. If you would prefer, we provide a free pre-planning guide and booklet to fill out at your own pace.
In addition to recording important information for a funeral service, Rehkamp & Horvath Funeral Directors also offers many pre-funding options to pay for funeral services in advance. Funeral pre-payment plans help to protect you and your family against inflation. Also, pre-funding helps to relieve the financial burden from those close to you.
